Toyota Sienna No Start

2005 Toyota Sienna experiencing intermittent starting problems

[@vincehernandez8341]

Another great video Peter. My dad taught me that trick on the starter when I was in high school. Works every time.

[@andrewsmactips]

That starter motor is the easiest to get at, that I've ever seen -- as opposed to my '97 Honda Legend, which is the hardest to get at, in the history of the automobile.

[@durango8882]

I have 2004 Tundra and it’s buried somewhere lol 😆

[@mikeisgonz0]

I like that old school trick.

[@curtispower2784]

Unreal. Worked like a charm. Would be good to show a short clip of how / where you tapped on it just so folks can get the sense. Thank you for posting this. Was able to get the car home so I wasn’t stuck at the grocery store.

[@tacocin]

Great job Peter! Really glad you have to push!

[@feeshermann726]

Fantastic vid Petr...I just love how you explain everything!!! Thanks again!!

[@LAactor]

This is going good advice they should teach in drivers Ed along with how to change a flat. On the side of the road or parked and in a lot, you can also grab the emergency jack hook in the trunk and with the long handle, tap it just like you did. People might not have a pipe or hammer in the field.

[@LAactor]

PS is your wife's car needing more work or maybe she is staying home on this day and that's why you have it. Hopefully it is not a bad reason why it is there with you

[@LAactor]

Maybe even the wife came along today haha

Denso makes the good ones. Lasts forever. Toyota owns like 25% of the company. My alternator lasted like 150k. The original I believe because the sticker was blue. The remans are red I think.

[@nordicpride9708]

Both are great. Toyota uses a lot of rebuilds. I prefer the OEM JAPANESE ones, but the quality control in anything Denso/Aisin is second to none!

[@LAactor]

@@nordicpride9708 because both are* the same quality

[@robertkeefer1552]

An old mechanics trick that works.

[@bigdaddymak1439]

The contacts in the starter wear out. We would change the contacts out for our good customers back in the 90s.

[@LAactor]

Wish it was easier to find shops who would rebuild our originals. Maybe a brush, maybe the diode but everyone wants the easy way now. To change it and pass the cost to the customer.

[@marceldaniel673]

@@LAactor I was wishing that @Peter would change the carbon brushes in that starter and put it back to be used another 150k. I always changed carbon brushes on starters, they only cost £12 and takes me around 20 minutes to clean the starter and put grease where needed. $10-$15 carbon brushes much cheaper than a whole starter over $200.

[@FredTheLutinoCocatiel]

@@marceldaniel673 you should change the bushings out too and re Grease them also Emory cloth the commutator make sure they arent running into each other with a file.

[@marceldaniel673]

@@FredTheLutinoCocatiel Yes I've always done it completely, quite a few good clips on KZbin on how to refurbish your starter motor and alternator.....

[@rondhole]

Everything is doable on Toyota, only matters of peace by peace including rear spark plugs on V6

[@michaelbrennan7148]

Thank you Peter.

[@lifelong5425]

17 years for 245 bucks plus some labour.....amazing.

[@cartap22]

Yea thank you for the video now I can sleep

[@jevdetm3780]

We just picked up 04 Sienna with 260k and it’s smooth as it came out the lot .

[@durango8882]

Great van 👏🏻

[@mrdallas9729]

Wish my 4runner didn't have the starter in the middle of the engine. 4.7 06 4x4 Great information here thanks for sharing. 👍

[@charlieruiz9815]

Thank you for this video. I was able to confirm and fix my Sienna. You are a $$ saver.

[@damienbell3155]

Nice tip. Happy new year 🎊🎈🎆

[@markreynolds3850]

Thanks for sharing this video, interesting problems.

[@shugangge6174]

great advise. Worked for my 2016 sienna. Thanks!

[@jojofamily2136]

thank you for your videos it help me i found the same issue and fix my van starter motor was bad

[@yhird]

Excellent work.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Petr, I had hoped they would choose the Denso starter to see if it would last 17 years like the original.

[@sirsweetness8332]

Glad to see a comment like this. I always tell my free labor friends and family members that I give free labor so they can buy the correct parts. Put Denso back on a Toyota

[@LAactor]

@@sirsweetness8332 exactly. And you should remand from now on, if you can't then my labor will be charged because it will not be the only time I have to do it and my time is valuable. Don't let the one who is poor say they cannot afford it. They will tell the others and then you'll be doing comebacks for the unreasonable ones. Imagine if they didn't know you, they still would be fixing it somewhere

[@andyg5004]

These starters can be rebuilt real cheap

[@russelmussle7866]

Thank you! Can you do more video about 2004-2010 Toyota Sienna?

[@durango8882]

Great vans! 👍🏻 maybe brought by on flatbed.🤷🏻‍♂️ tap on starter huh! Thank you I had no idea 👏🏻

[@FredTheLutinoCocatiel]

I wonder how much a rebuild kit is it only takes an hour to rebuild. I checked it's $30.

[@jackjones9460]

Am Very Glad to hear the Toyota starters can still be rebuilt. I’ve also got a Honda Odyssey and it’s connections are soldered and no replacement parts available.

[@sgeorge1988]

I wish I could give a couple of taps on the oil thristy 2AZ-FE engine on my RAV4 and it magically fixes the oil burning issues😂😂😂🤣

[@durango8882]

😂

[@neverstoplearning382]

what about voltage load . just to make sure all the wiring is good.

[@proudtexan5513]

How many miles on that Toyota van ?

[@papucho6931]

Excelent bug 👍

[@sergiodjf]

Honda battery in a Toyota? 🤔 I would clean the cable & battery terminals as regular maintenance when replacing the starter.

[@LAactor]

I saw this interesting detail too

[@a_aronhdtech1328]

My 06 sequoia battery gauge moves up while driving and down at idle. Just a little bit. Is this normal. Battery is good and alternator is new.

[@tacocin]

Normal.

[@user-xb6xu3sd6v]

👍👍👍

[@jfkesq]

I have a 2006 Sienna, and this is starting to happen with my starter, its starts sometimes, but other times, the starter won't start, its starting to drive me crazy, I hate when intermittent starters start sometimes, but wont start other times, so i am starting to think that I should start changing out my starter.

[@highlypolishedturd7947]

Are you tapping on the actual starter motor, or the solenoid?

[@LAactor]

On the startermotor body. Imagine like the bendix is stuck from corrosion, rust or something and you're trying to free it. The gear part pops out to spin the flywheel in the trans. Similar to when a needle is stuck in a carburetor.

[@highlypolishedturd7947]

@@LAactor Geez, it IS like a stuck needle, isn't it? Thank you, that's a better answer than I normally expect from KZbin comments!

[@johnblum2829]

I have the same year Sienna, starter is out

[@johnlacroix1639]

WOW very interesting 1st class very kool great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.

[@johnrickard8512]

I've used this proceedure on fuel pumps before so it is not foreign to me.

[@andrebombardier3021]

Is the engine ticking a bit ?

[@NEiowaguy]

They all sound like a diesel unfortunately

[@thestephen8]

It is easy to repair them at home the parts a re cheap
