2009 Honda Accord Starter Replacement

[@beedoose3701]

This is a much more instructional video than the “top videos” for this topic. Thank you very much. I really don’t want to pay the $600 that the mechanic quoted me.

[@lizardjump995]

Hopefully it will help changing the starter. It’s really not a difficult job if you just take your time. Thanks for the comment!

[@jamesmiller134]

One of the best and easiest to follow repair videos. Very concise, made the job so much easier! Thank you!!

[@lizardjump995]

Thanks for the comment! I’m really glad it helped!

[@Joe-zg7rp]

Awesome man! I just changed my first starter :) Watched your video with my laptop on the engine...paused after steps. Took my time, some bolts were a bear but did it. Saved a ton o money on labour. Thank You. Keep it up...we need your expertise and teaching style.

[@tristanbarstad7454]

This video saved me so much money! We had to take off the intake manifold off 3 times (because we are no mechanics) but with this video we were able to replace the starter and put everything back together and my car started right up! Thanks!!

[@lizardjump995]

I love to hear about saving money! I’m very happy to hear the video helped! Thanks for commenting!

(OEM Starter: MITSUBA SM 73002. Tools needed: Ratchet, extensions,10mm, 12mm sockets (3/4",11/16" sockets for starter) Needle Nose Pliers and a handy flat tip screw driver). Excellent video. Last night around 9pm I was at work and drove to a convenience store, then I drove to my trailer to drop my work cloth and then my car didn't crank(God is good). I watched some videos for some troubleshooting like the starter relay but no luck. I stumble on several videos for replacing the starter but yours seemed more in depth. I started taking some stuff apart but stopped at the intake since it was night time and I didn't want to leave the intake exposed. The next day I borrow my coworker's Truck and drove to AutoZone to pick up the starter and the gasket set. I was a parts changer in the Air Force between 03-09(don't really consider myself a technician) so I have some mechanical background. Your video gave me the tools needed to perform this job flawlessly. I only lost a 1/4" ratchet extension that I accidentally dropped down my car so it must be still there. FYI when I was putting the air duct back I decided to remove one of the fans to make more room and I ended up removing the top coolant hose(a bit more work but worth the headache). I noticed someone commenting about getting the OEM part or you might get some errors, I think the errors are due to missed connections or maybe something with the intake manifold(starters don't really have any smart technology but I could be wrong, I've been out of the field for a long time) Thanks for your video sir and I hope the stuff I added helps others.

[@lizardjump995]

Sorry it took so long to get back to you! Thanks for your comment! I agree with you on the comments you made about new vs reman starters. I personally don’t think that had anything to do with check engine light issue. Thanks again!

[@marioferone1358]

Thank you! Would not have been able to do this job without this

Well done on this one. Having just completed this job you hit every step. For the life of me though I couldn’t remove the air duct without removing the battery. I just said “awe screw it” and worked around it. BTW, What a place to put a starter motor. Thanks for posting.

[@lizardjump995]

Thanks for the comment! I totally agree on the starter motor placement!

[@nelsonhernandez2513]

It’s so you would be forced to take it to the stealership and pay thousands of dollars!

[@lizardjump995]

Nelson Hernandez it always amazes me where manufacturers will place certain components! Thanks for the comment!

[@brotherbax4083]

You video was great for helping me do this job! After installing a remanufactured starter that died after a week, I got to do it all over again. I learned that removing the intake snorkel is not necessary and you can get creative on where to disconnect the hoses to make it a bit easier. Unfortunately, when plugging the wiring harness into the tab on the back of the starter, the wire to that sensor in the engine pulled out of its plug. I managed to push it back in, but suspect I’ll be back in there again soon to fix that plug. Thanks for the great explanations!

[@lizardjump995]

Thanks for the tip…..bummer you might have to do all over again but after you do it a couple times (and if you have a 2.4L you will lol) it’s a piece of cake! Thanks again!

[@browncarp]

I think you are the first youtuber I have watched that understands bolt size. You said "10 mm head" instead of what most people say, "10 mm bolt". Bolts are sized by their shaft, not the wrench size that fits the hex on the end.

[@lizardjump995]

When I post a video it’s not for the “professional” technician but geared toward the DIYer who’s trying to save a few bucks. Even the smallest detail such as what socket or wrench size can make the job less time consuming. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

[@josevega5808]

Very good video, wasn’t scatter brain like some other videos, clear instructions. Keep up the good work.

[@lizardjump995]

I try keep instructions straight forward because I feel like that’s what anyone watching is looking for. Thanks!

[@kantiusaify]

Great video on the Honda Accord Starter replacement. I will definitely make reference to it when the time comes for my V4 2011 Accord. Keep up the excellent work and many thanks

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! This video helped so much. It is a pain in the ass to disconnect hoses and clips but like you said if you take your time be patient you will get through it, and sure as (doo doo) lol I did it. Thanks again

[@lizardjump995]

Was very happy to hear it was useful! On most things if you take your time and don’t rush it the job will usually get done fairly easy! Thanks for commenting!

[@lizardjump995]

Really nice to hear that the video helped with your repair! Thanks for the comment!

[@jeanjacque1577]

Recommended to use the honda starter instead of a remufactured one. It requires an update otherwise you get the crankshaft sensor code and cylinder 2 and 3 misfire. May also throw the Vsa light

Thank you for video ... any info on the torque specs for the manifold and TB bolts? Tia

[@lizardjump995]

I’m almost positive the intake torques to 16ft lbs. I just started in the middle bolts and worked towards the outside bolts. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

[@robertramkumar1325]

Thanks for simplifying a rather tedious job. I planned on replacing my starter this weekend. May I ask what brand of remanufactured starter you bought? Thanks for a great video.

[@lizardjump995]

The starter I purchased was from Auto Zone. Thanks for watching!

[@geo745don]

@@lizardjump995 did you get any codes or misfire like what other people saying from not buying the OEM

[@lizardjump995]

I did not…..and the vehicle is still cranking perfectly.

[@larrytate5867]

Excellent video well done sir!

[@alsina984]

Great video im just wondering how did you figure it was the starter?

[@lizardjump995]

When I tried to start the engine the starter wouldn’t even make a clicking noise. I managed to reach the starter and tap on it with a hammer at which time it started right up. Sometimes the starter solenoid will wear at the electrical connection and cause it to not engage. Tapping on the starter will cause the connection to move slightly where the starter will engage and crank. At that point the starter needed replacing to resolve the issue. Hope this helps. Thanks for commenting!

[@artisturner]

Do you have the reverse order video??!?🙏🏽

[@lizardjump995]

Unfortunately I did not make that. Definitely something to consider going forward! Thanks!

[@casevercetti5577]

Is that vacuum hose on the back of the intake the PCV hose?

[@lizardjump995]

It does connect to the rear of the intake manifold.

[@nicholasperez2843]

[@shaledahughes118]

@@lizardjump995 sorry can you give me an update on all tools you used

[@lizardjump995]

I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. I used a flat blade screwdriver, a couple pairs of needle nose pliers (a long handle and regular handle), 10mm socket and ratchet with extension, 10mm wrench, 12mm socket and I think the starter mount bolts were either 14mm, 15mm or 16mm. I can’t remember the exact size of starter mount bolts. That is basically all the tools needed to complete this repair. If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

[@skrizlee8867]

Is there a way I can hit the starter without removing all of this? I just want to hit it to see if my car will start so I know it’s actually a starter problem

[@lizardjump995]

I thought the same thing when mine went out! It almost impossible to do that when it’s mounted on the car. If you can strike it will probably not be enough force to move the solenoid.
