Sounds like a new starter is needed; I replaced my 01 Rio starter at
around 90M.

Not sure where it is either ....  you can usually trace the starter
beginning at the battery there are usually two heavy red cables , one them
always leads to the starter.  I have a bad feeling that the timing belt may
have failed and the engine is locked up.

thanks again i knew that an tried tracing them but can not seem to follow
they go to the back of the engin.......this car has just 60 thousand

Amused to read that you "do your own work" but cant find the starter!

Basically its under the intake near where the trans meets the motor. Yes
its well hidden and could be a handful to remove.

Yank the top timing cover and check to see that the timing marks line up
and there isnt any perceptible slack in the timing belt. the only two
motors I have taken apart on these cars had VERY loose timing belts. One
grenaded and I bet the other would have too if it had ran at the junkyard.
