Thank you so much for making this video! My wife’s car wouldn’t start while she was running errands, and I had to replace her starter in the Target parking lot. Great job mentioning all the tools I would need. You made it much easier. Muchas gracias mi amigo!

Thank you. Your video walked me right through changing starter. Hope more people will use this when needed. Saved me a few hundred dollars...

Dude you are a life saver! My gf and I followed the process step-by-step and it went perfectly! Also learned a massive amount about our car, and had fun while doing it - THANK YOU!!!
To help others diagnose: Our car was struggling to turn over for months, would try to start the car and the car would make "whirring" sounds. Would often turn over on the 2nd attempt. A week ago it got worse suddenly, only turning over on the 6-7th attempt. Later that day it completely stopped cranking when trying to start, only the relay would click. After replacing the starter motor, now our baby starts first pop with no troubles.
Some advice for others like us with no car knowledge: Give yourself about 3-5 hours for the job, we used numbered sticky tapes to label everything we unclipped as we went, which made it way easier to clip everything back together afterwards. For our car, every bolt was able to be loosened by the world's tiniest ratchet EXCEPT the 2 bolts that held the starter motor in place - we needed a torque wrench to loosen the bolts (and apparently you are meant to use a torque wrench to retighten the bolts too (45nm for the back bolt and 68nm for the front), so make sure you have one on hand. Also, be mindful off the tubes with coolant in them - when my gf was re-attaching them, the coolant poured out which then flicked up straight into her eye (lol)

Great video - worked great for my 2011 2.4 with one modification. The manifold bracket is a bit different so the bottom bolt is located further down but still a 12mm on mine. Everything else seemed to be identical to the video. Started right up - Thanks again

[darryljenkins]

Really appreciate this video. I'm going to have to do this soon and it is great to have a reference. My confidence went up about 80 percent.

I remember my 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass starter location. Underneath by the oil pan. Disconnect battery. Two long bolts and a couple wires to relay. Drops down. Then lift new starter and reattach two bolts. Reconnect relay and battery cables. Boom done.

If one were to pay a mechanic to replace the starter, which is more expensive, a starter replacement on a 4cyl model Accord or a starter replacement on the 6cyl model? Watching these starter replacement videos, it looks like many more things are in the way that needs to be removed on the 4cyl model. Is that correct?

How did you remove the black thing near the hood latch @0:19 seconds into the video? The thing you removed directly after disconnecting the negative battery terminal

Question… my starter has been grinding after starting on cold starts only but I bought new oem starter anyway. Then I read online it could be due to a bad vct actuator since no grinding when engine is warm. Also, car never had starting issues. But today cel, vsa lights turned on, running sluggish with P0339, P0300, P0302, P0303 codes. Should I change the crankshaft posn sensor or install the oem starter? Thanks.

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?
