Toyota Camry 2003 starter replacement

[@universalperspective]

Mr. Cooper, You saved a teacher from paying 400+ dollars for parts, labor and tow! I paid 127.00 for a replacement starter for my Camry and did the rest myself with your help. You are a great teacher and a very valuable member of society for the future. Thank you for documenting this whole process in its entirety, mistakes and all. I really appreciate what you help make possible for the public and of course the money I saved. Thank you

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

Wow. Thanks.

[@khamran100]

Hey where did you get the starter with $127? And what brand did you get if you remember.

Mine seized up at exactly 22 years to the month (Oct. '02). Fortunately, I already did one on a 2001 Camry years ago, but this video was a super helpful refresher. Thanks.

[@Squirrel260]

Thank you soooo much for taking the time to make this detailed video!! My son who has NEVER worked on a car before, just removed and replaced his starter himself, thanks to YOU!! 😊❤❤

[@universalperspective]

I just replaced my starter as well with no prior experience with cars, really amazing to have teachers like this online!

[@justingaron8290]

I have the 2003 V6 Camry and there are a few slight differences to the air cleaner setup but I was able to use this video and replace the starter myself. Saved me a bunch of money thank you!

[@ShujaKidwaiMasauliwala]

Such an amazingly good video. Thanks for taking the time to explain each bolt you removed and things you had trouble with. Greatly appreciate the effort you took in keeping the camera in focus all along.

Needing to replace my starter today. Very clear with instructions wish me luck.

Thanks for the heads up to avoid O'Reilly's starters for Camrys.

[@RoamingEyes-uh6cj]

Great video and detailed explanation. Viewers are lucky to have guys like you to help them in their diy repairs.

[@hookyjo72]

I just wanted to add it's a good idea 💡 on the electrical connectors, when reconnecting to put a dab of dielectric grease on them it helps tremendously, so they don't get corroded so easily and damaged from engine heat. Great Video.

[@syedpervez7009]

Thank you Michael. I am computer geek 🤓 myself,but like to work on my cars. Toyota to Mercedes, Subaru but only on my cars.Thank you for putting up such a nice helpful video.🙏

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

I appreciate that

[@LeoMoralesSr]

Systematic guy, these breed of people are rare. I have only met one other person like that. Everything needs to be orderly. Hope that when things go wrong they don't lose their cool. I would like to see their cool when a bolt is stripped or falls into the flywheel housing.

[@holdmeclosertonydanza22]

You're a legend, mate, thanks! Who needs a mechanic?

[@coilsoflove2012]

THANK YOU for this video!! I just changed my starter thanks to your video on my own (well i did need assistance with a bolt, it was really tight). It took an hour at the most from start to finish.

[@richardcampbell3252]

Informative at this moment my vehicle (Toyota Camry 2003 4 cyl) is stalled and not cranking was wondering if it was the starter or alternator when I turned the ignition on the dash lights up but no sound and no crank it started two days ago I drove and when I returned home and park I tried restarting but it wouldn't. Thanks for your video

[@zx8401ztv]

Smashing job :-D, you did really well and no free spare parts left over lol :-D Short term memory is a must for unknown repairs but it's not perfect. When i've repaired peoples laptops the amount of cables and plastic bits can be a pain to remember, i've had one screw left over and had to do it all again, oh fun :-D.

[@jasonnames]

I'm very curious why someone would dislike this. Probably mechanics who think something like this should be done by a professional. This is minor work tho. So anyone should be capable of doing this. They just think they can't. Or they are scared. Cause there is no reason why a human being shouldn't be able to undo bolts and change a part like this.

[@bobbycoelho8435]

Extremely helpful video...had the starter out in no time...and easily put new one in..thank you

[@TheDcrocks1]

Great video! I was wondering if you had to deal with the factory reset issue when you disconnect the battery from a Camry. There's a video about that. Whenever I disconnect my battery from my Camry I have to do a reset. It's the craziest thing, most inconvenient thing ever. Great great job on the video. Now I know to have prepared a 10 mm 12 mm or 14 mm socket with an extension I really appreciate you putting up this video thanks

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

I always have to reset my radio stations and the idle is incorrect on the engine for several minutes or sometimes a few hours. It fixes itself.

Thanks✌🏾for posting up this video super helpful👍🏾 about to do the same job routine tomorrow...On My 03 Toyota Camry

[@randallledbetter1273]

You sir are a God sent angle. Great video incredible lighting along with easy to follow dialogue. Just what I needed to view to get the nerves to try this myself. I would like to say that it is ironic that I also have a 2003 Camry and this is the 3rd starter I have gone through ( 2 in a month) from O'Reilly Auto Parts. This has left a very bad taste in my mouth for a auto parts store. After I swap this out and hope that i just got a bad batch, I still probably won't buy another major part from them again. :( PS : I'm curious. Did you use a go pro to record this or a head mounted cell phone ?

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

Thank you that means a lot. It's actually my phone strapped to my head.

[@khamran100]

You said, Working on cars and working on computer fairly similar (13:29). I am a bit confused and curious. I would be happy to know in which way? Nice video by the way thank you for going in depth.

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

Its all just parts that go together that make them work. If they stop working you replace a part or sometimes also another related part. When you're doing it it sometimes makes sense to replace something else because it's likely to fail soon or to make them run better.

[@khamran100]

@@MichaelTheComputerGuy Make sense. That's very cool dude you got experience in both. I really admire people like you.

I used the YourMechanic service and the guy broke one of the connectors to the PCV valve and cost me $50 extra, he also put the filter backwards and he had bad breath. What a waste of money and time. Never will hire them again and also will do it myself. I have done it myself already.

Thanks for help us. Last night i did It. 🤝👍🏻

[@rednblkchevelle]

Thanks...my 03 camry start just went out!!!

[@jacobhillanbrand7988]

Did you have to shim yours? Ive replaced mine in the past at least 1x. This time it originally started and not it seems like its not lining up with the flywheel. Now its not starting again. Time to take it back apart. Ive compared the 2 when i purchased the new one and they were identical.

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

I did not run into a problem like that. They all fit well. I no longer have this car.

[@sirlaw2930]

thank You Michael! very helpful video.

[@honey-fe6pj]

Japanese cars do last a long time. I walk to work (very,very lucky my company moved offices just up the road from my a few years ago) so i still drive a 2002 Honda Civic. It just will not break down, and because we only really use it at the weekends, i just don't want to spend the money (that i don't have!) and buying a new car.

[@LeoMoralesSr]

"lifetime warranty, so it didn't cost us anything the 2 times it went out". Correction, it cost your your time x two and the inconvenience when the damn car does not start. O Reilly's parts are made in China, so they break before lifetime kicks in.

[@agent55667]

Thanks for such detailed video

[@phthirius]

Can you do it by getting under the car (the old way)? Or it isn´t that far below? I used to do that repair in an Oldsmobile. Honestly perhaps I prefer to go straight for the starter by getting under the car, rather than move several unrelated parts around to uncover it.

[@dustinf49]

Thank you so much!

[@whatyoumeanthirsty6132]

How did you not snap the positive off the back idk

[@Carlitos283]

Did you record that with a GoPro?

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

With my phone. I use a head strap. Amazon search for phone head strap and you'll find them.

[@richardf6932]

very helpful. Thank you....

[@LeoMoralesSr]

Don't use the open ended end of the wrench. That's mechanics101.

[@elialvarez1986]

Why the car still will not start

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

If your car still won't start after replacing the starter either the starter wasn't the problem, the replacement was faulty or you installed it wrong.

[@courtneyharvey9256]

Thank you so much for this video! My 2005 Camry engine looks a little different but I really think this will help me get my new starter in! I really appreciate you explaining as much as you did for the people who are not mechanics! Do you mind if I message you if I have any questions?

@@MichaelTheComputerGuy thank you for your reply, i went head and ordered the v6 starter. my car's setup was little different. But after 3.5hr of work, i got the starter replaced and now my car is running as new. thankyou so much for your video. really a blessing during this pandemic time, it hard to buy even a new car. (low inventory and jagged up prices)

Never sit a battery on concrete he should know that

I hadn't heard that so I looked it up. Just a Google search for battery on concrete. What I found says that for modern batteries its not a problem.
