Went to start my car this morning, and it made a clicking sound, then it eventually started. When it did start there was some hesitation. My CEL is on, with a bank 1 sensor 1 problem, and running lean. Any input on the problem would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well I'd start with checking and cleaning the battery terminals before I would consider a bad starter.
Useful side effect is the CEL light will go out, giving you time to think about oxygen sensor shopping.

If it is the starter, how much could that run?

Well I found out it is the starter that needs to be replaced. Any tips on replacing it?

I've got a good used starter for sale if you're interested. I'd take $75 for it plus a little shipping. New one from ford is over $120. Replacing it isn't too bad of a job. It sits directly on top of the transmission housing under the throttle body area on your intake. Should take an hour +/- to change out if you are mechanically inclined.

Thanks for the starter, but I got a discount through a friend for one. Actually that same friend is going to do the job for me, he's a mechanic at a pontiac dealer so I guess it shouldn't take long.
