Lots of times it is your battery cables and not your starter. The starter is pretty easy to swap. There is a good description in the haynes manual. Try to get a hold of one. It's pretty good.

When the starter went bad on mine, it was the solenoid. Take the starter off(a few bolts) and hook up a power source to the solenoid and it should engage, if not, thats the problem.
