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!
10/11/22 Replaced my starter by watching this video..and this was by far the best step by step tutorial I’ve seen on here yet..Thanks for the video dude…GOD BLESS!!!
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
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?
Hello there , Great video, we replaced the starter(from Auto Zone) on a 2012 Honda accord successfully. The instructions were straight forward and allowed us newbies to replace the starter. Everything was great in the beginning, the starter worked beautifully. However, last few days I can hear few additional revs before the engine starts. Any suggestions on what may be causing this ?
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
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?
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.
if your accord is 2008-2009 2.4 you should go the dealer they my fix it for free, sohw them the codes and the other lights in the instrument cluster, now if you only have p0339 then you have to fix it on your own, they have a servise bulletin.
@@JM-AUTO I only saw the Honda accord 80-12 service bulletin for V6 and it only extended warranty to 8 yrs. Anyway, i found a TH-cam video on how to relearn crankshaft pos sensor, followed it and it worked. No more cel and the engine runs smooth again. We still have that grinding noise after cold start so we should replace the VTC actuator as well. Do you recommend replacing it along with the chain or leave both alone? Ive read that the problem comes back even after replacing the chain. But I’m also concerned that the grinding will throw off the timing again and stretch the chain.
@@JC-ov5pt in my experience: every time i have replaced a vtc actuator, the rattle has not come back but some times i have replaced the timing chain at the same time, that will depend on how loose or tight the timing chain looks for me when i put the engine on time, when timing chain is fine it is hard to put the actuators back with the chain unless you take out the tensioner in the bottom, so you have to open it first before deciding to replacing it or not. if you have any other question dont hesitate to ask.
@@JM-AUTO I’m not looking forward to replacing the actuator (and chain). But I appreciate the offer and will definitely contact you if we have questions. Thanks and Happy Holidays!
Hello please help. My Honda Accord 2008 V4 cranks for long before start. What could be the problem. Most times during cranking it displays a key sign on the dashboard
if you see the green key while cranking then that might be the long crank, you should scan the immobilizer system for codes, eve though there are many other resons why a car can have a long crank but this one bight be your issue.
yes I can, 10mm 12mm 14mm sockets, corless milwaukee ratchet, swivel adapter, pliers and flat head screw drivers, thanks for coming to my channel. and God bless you and your Family as well.
Is this basically the same as the 2012 honda crosstour? I can’t find a video on replacing the starter anywhere, not on TH-cam, not on google. Not even 1 video almost as if the car doesn’t actually exist
thanks for your comment and sorry to hear that, now if you have the 2.4 it is going to be similar the starter still under the intake manifol in front of the engine but the crosstour is a different design, now if you have the 3.5 engine that is going to be similar to the honda pilot, hope that helps you a little bit good luck and God bless you and your family
My car turns on now but dies immediately. I’m thinking it’s a fuse since I double checked hoses etc and charged the battery. Anyone else run into this problem?

if it is duralast most likely is the starter, check that and let me know any thing, thanks for your beautiful comment.
@@JM-AUTO Yes it is a duralast, Duralast Starter 19082 to be precise !!
@@zigzag4s yes the only way would be taking it out and get another one hope this helps. thanks again for visiting my channel I really appreciate it.
@@JM-AUTO Thank you !
damn!! thats crazy the starter is located there!
some guys at honda decided to put it there. thanks for visiting my channel.
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
ok that is part of the air intake duck tube and that is only held by 2 clips and I removed it literally in 5 seconds but it is under another cover.
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?
install everything back and you should not have any issues because there is nothing in that area that can prevent the engine from running.

Hello what kind of cordless ratchet are you using, I need to buy me one.
hi, this is a 3/8 milwaukee cordless ratchet, thanks for sharing.
This is my proyect at 5am!! Im not sure if im going to finish this by the time for me to go work.
hi J, im pretty sure you will do a great job and finish before going to work,
@@JM-AUTO thanks for the reply!! I did it by myself and i finished 40 min before clocking in to work!! Im glad you did an awesome video!!
Can you list the tools that you used?
yes I can, 10mm 12mm 14mm sockets, corless milwaukee ratchet, swivel adapter, pliers and flat head screw drivers, thanks for coming to my channel. and God bless you and your Family as well.

Cuanto cobras por hacer ese trabajo.
ola Maria como estas, pues mas o menos 125. gracias por venir a mi canal, yo deberas aprecio mucho eso.
Trying this once the rain stops.
How much labor cost
thanks for your comment, between $100 and $150 for labor. stay bless you and your family
6:05 As long as this is not new aftermarket starter it should be fine
Why Honda WHY?!?
Where can I get the starter ?!
if you want the best, go for the one in the dealer (more money) but autozone also has good alternators, thanks for visiting my channel.
My car turns on now but dies immediately. I’m thinking it’s a fuse since I double checked hoses etc and charged the battery. Anyone else run into this problem?
first scan the vehicle to see if you find trouble codes so you start from there.
@@JM-AUTO No codes showing up
check if the engine is getting fuel, also check for spark and compression.
@@JM-AUTO Thanks I’ll look into that. As of now it’ll turn on and I can even rev it up for a bit but it shuts off within a few seconds.
not for older models
2003 2007 is almost the same, thanks for sharing.
@@JM-AUTO I had an '04 and it looked different.
Saved me $600 in labor costs
im glad you saved some money and thanks for visiting my channel.
