If you're having trouble starting your 2012 Toyota Corolla with a 1.8L engine, the starter might be the issue, and knowing where to find it is key. The starter is located on the passenger side of the engine bay, just below the intake manifold. To find it, start by opening the hood and standing in front of the car. Look toward the passenger side of the engine, near the battery, and direct your gaze downwards. The starter is a cylindrical part, typically with two thick wires attached—one coming from the battery and another leading to the ignition switch. You may need to remove the air intake assembly or other components to get a better look at it, depending on your tools and comfort level. If anything seems off or you're unsure, it's always a good idea to consult a repair manual or seek more advice.
