How long does it take to change a starter on a 1999 ford escort. And where is it? Thank You?

buy a chitlens or a hanes manual (sp check)? i will tell u that u will need to jack up the car

so make sure u chock the back tires by placing a block of wood or brick behind them. the manuals will tell you every thing u will ever need to know about that car and they are cheap. it will save you hundreds at the mechanics shop. this job may take you a couple hours depending on how dirty the car is. and most of all be patient. the more angry you get the longer it takes
