Cranking amps is subject to a number of variables so it isn't possible to give a definite answer. First it depends on the starter type which can vary depending on territory and supply availability where the vehicle was built. A permanent magnet starter consumes much less current than a series-wound motor and the former have been fitted (sporadically at first) to most cars for many years though some models stubbornly stuck to the latter for much longer.
Ambient temperature and engine oil grade is another of those variables and also the terminal voltage of the battery and the age of the starter itself. Brush gear wear creates a conductive dust that coats the internal surface of the motor causing a loss of efficiency.
A diesel engine requires a higher starter torque than a petrol engine and that higher torque is generated by a greater current consumption.
Getting a cold engine moving can require thousands of amps for just a second after which about 150 amps can be expected to flow for an average 4 cylinder and up to about 250 amps for a big vee8 so it is clear it is wise to ensure the battery is capable of delivering at least double the cranking amps.
Mostly you don't need to measure this yourself as the battery manufacturers have done this already and accounted for it in their application catalogues. I advise you to buy the best brand you can afford and if options are offered to choose wisely. A larger capacity can seem like a good idea (and often is) but be aware the recharge time is significantly longer.
710 should be good

slide the lower part of shifter handle down and you will find two screws, but there is 2 wires coming in from center console for overdrive button.you have to remove the center console cover and remove the 2 wires from connector and then pull up threw handle.when you go back together you will have to guide them back threw the handle.

check ur fuels thats usually the problem and its very in expensive

Not too bad. Not much room, just enough to drop the starter. It is probably easier to go up through exhaust if you can get your exhaust shield off the manifold .

Hi,
The check engine light comes on mostly when you have bad gas tank cup,or you don't tight enough the gasoline.Go to any auto-zone and request the obd scanner,at no charge just leave your driver license or credit card,connect the scanner follow the instructions.They will check up and the check engine light will come off in the next 3 to 5 days.
Thank you !!
