Mine was a 2011 Honda accord and the intake manifold had an additional mount at the bottom that was difficult to take off but not impossible. Just something to add to the list if you’re working on a 2011

0:18 negative comes first. At this moment there is a good chance of wrench shorting positive terminal to the metal battery strap bar

I took my time and had it done in under 5 hours. That five hours included going to get the tools I needed, taking it apart, driving half an hour away to get the starter, putting it together, cleaning the engine bay, and spending time on the phone. A leisurely project that likely saved me hundreds.

Thanks very much for this video. I just replaced a starter in an 09 Accord LX. The intake manifold on mine had a bracket attached at the bottom right that I had to unbolt from the engine. And the breather was in the way so I unbolted it's mounting bracket from the battery tray and kind of pushed it this way or that way to get it out of the way. Otherwise, it was pretty much the same as you showed. I REALLY appreciated that you included the torque specs. Some surprises: the 12 mm nut dead center of manifold requires a thin wall socket to get to, my craftsman 1/2 drive socket was too fat. I bought an inexpensive set at harbour freight (the colorful ones). The nut on the starter was recessed. I ended up using a 3/8 drive with a 3" extension to get to it. I had a hard time torqueing the 14mm rear starter bolt using my 1/2 harbour freight torque wrench. I think a 3/8 torque wrench would be better. Thanks again.

Great instructional! Before my starter went out it would make a "crunch" sound on a cold start. I put in a new OEM starter with this instructional as a guide and I'm still getting the "crunch" sound on cold starts but at least the car is starting up. I'm concerned that there is a) damage to my flywheel, or b) I installed a defective starter (unlikely because it's brand new OEM). Do you have any ideas?

Great video! Made it easy to get my starter out, but I do have a question. I did not have the steel plate between the manifold and block that comes in the gasket set for the intake. Some on YTube say it's not necessary, some say to replace it. I didn't have one to replace, but one came with the gasket set. Should I put it on?? Thanks!

I installed a new starter from Autozone on my 2010 Honda Accord, 2.4L engine. After about 6 months I started having issues with the crankshaft position sensor. I replaced the sensor and I still have problems. Dealer said I should have installed a Honda starter only! Really, anyone else having this problem?

Does it have to be torqued to spec with a torque wrench? I don’t have a torque wrench would it still be okay to replace it myself?

Can you tell me why after doing this my car would start then shut off like there is a kill switch or something? Starter is working great but it starts then turns off. Everything isn’t totally hooked back up just wondering if you think it’s that or something else?

@pkruggel 10 ай бұрын

Oh gee you forgot the really hard bolt at the bottom of the intake manifold. I still haven't been able to get it off. I started this job based on the ease that it appeared in this video and now I'm stuck. This is very misleading. Thanks a lot.

@dylanschoby101 4 ай бұрын

What was the blue sensor you unplugged that was connected to the engine ?

@JosephHubacek-xy8yg 5 ай бұрын

It’s mainly clamps and tubing, getting the old hoses removed. Standard tools but an electric ratchet makes the job 3x faster. Metric sockets 10 & 12 for intake stuff. 14 & 17 starter bolts

My God… all this just to swap out the starter. On my 1987 Dodge Raider it was a 15-minute job. Reached in, popped it out, popped the new one in. There's got to be a better way to make these jobs accessible to the average Joe.

My daughter had Japanese Auto Repair in Alpharetta, GA replace the starter on her 2008 Accord with the 4cy engine after the original starter slowly began to fail. The failing starter may have had a bad solenoid because during failed attempts to start the engine, I could hear the starter spin but it wasn't engaging with the flywheel. After several tries, the starter would engage with the flywheel, turn the engine over, and the engine started and ran fine. The mechanic at Japanese Auto Repair replaced the bad starter. The new starter turns the engine over normally now but the engine won't start up. She was told she has a bad connecting rod and the engine needs to be replaced. I think that's BS because the engine ran fine right up to the time the old starter completely failed to turn the engine. I want to know what the mechanic could have screwed up along the way that could have allowed the starter to turn over the engine but prevent the engine from firing up and running.

Anyone else have engine light come on after the repair? I am guessing the air flow is off and possibly running rich? The car was revving the rpm’s and dropping and repeating. When I drove it a short distance in my neighborhood it acted like it was going to die when I let off the gas

@andrzejd5301 22 күн бұрын

first mistake was removing the positive from the battery first, the Negative comes of first to stop any shorting of the battery and not shorting out any operating systems etc the computers you armature 🤣
