The starter is beneath the intake manifold on the top of the engine. Everything will have to be removed to get access to it . Once its uncovered, there are only 3 bolts on the starter.

The starter is located at the bottom rear of the engine at the engine to transmission bolt up. You must raise the car up and get under unit to see the starter.
Although the LS 400 is a great car, the engineering could have been a little more "consumer oriented," when it comes to repairs.
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the starter is in the middle of the engine, underneath the intake manifold. This means you must remove the negative battery cable, empty the coolant, remove the air intake assembly, the throttle body, all of the vacuum lines, hoses etc. and then the intake manifold. The starter is located under the intake.
If you are a "back yard" mechanic, you can do this yourself. It's not very dificult, just extremely tedious. It also doesn't require any special tools, just the basics, such as a metric ratchet set and open end wrenches. It would take a pro about 5 hours.
Good Luck!

Should be a release lever on the underside of the dash to the left of the steering wheel. It should be flush with the panel, so you might have to feel around for it. Hope that helps...!
in 1990 LS400, the amp is only for the sub, its located between the fuel tank and trunk liner. you can reach it by removing the trunk liner which cover the fuel tank right behind the rear seat. hope this helps
