(My father inlaw gave the same advice you did)

According to the PO this has already been done. He said it dropped more than 1.5 volts.

So it looks like the starter is going to have to be replaced. So is it a do it yourself job or mechanic job... It looks pretty big....

Does the exhaust have to be removed? I am looking at the right part correct? Under passenger side fender?
