Hi Amanda:

Is the starter non-functional (i.e. the engine doesn't turn over when you 
turn the ignition key to the start position), or does the engine turn over 
but just doesn't begin to run?  If it's the latter, you haven't yet found 
the reason your Spider won't start.  Please clarify the condition of the 
car, and tell me (us) what year it is.  The starter on most years isn't too 
bad to remove.  Just three bolts and a few wires, but on the Bosch-injected 
cars, things can be a little tough to reach.  I know a good source for 
rebuilt starters, around $100, if it turns out that's the problem.
