    Well, they are highly similar cars, but not exactly the same between the two years. I think they did a little bit of tweaking on the drive train. I doubt it would affect the starter components.

    The 98 IIRC has a DOHC engine, by 2000 they had SOHC engines.

    mike is correct, they went to the SOHC engines, so some parts are different.

    The body and most of the car are nearly identical, though. It was only face-lifted for 2001.

    A light comes on my dashboard that says Brake P.l

    What does that mean
