Tim,

The best I could do was look at the electrical diagram in the workshop manual.

The starter has black/red wire from the coil to a terminal near where the battery cable is. It's indicated with a dotted line on the print so I'm not sure if it's on all cars or what it's for. The other starter terminal has two wires both are black/white. One of these wires goes to a connection plug and then to the diagnostic plug. The other wire goes to the ignition switch and/or a starting relay if you have an automatic. Your car may only have one of these wires.

If this doesn't help give me the color codes on all the wires in question and I'll try to look them up.

You can jumper a wire from the battery to either spade terminal to see if starter turns over and then attach the black/wires to that terminal.
