The starter on my 94 auto ls teg is going on me. Is this a easy DIY fix and how much should i be able to get on from a junkyard for? Any advice/links would be appreciated

 

try taking it to starter rebuild shop. It may just need new brushes like mine did. It is definitely a do it yourself job. Just don't forget to disconnect the battery.

 

WEll somtimes when i go to start it will just click. and click then after many tries it starts right up. how much did what your talking about cost?

 

I got a rebuilt one for my 94gsr from a local starter/alternator shop for $90 with 1 year warranty.

 

Cool hopefully I'll be able to handle this little inconvenience with 100 bucks or less

 

I got mine for $120 at my auot parts store, its rebuilt and has a warranty as well, took me an hour to install.

 

Bump for the day shift.

EDIT: anyone know what part is bad that makes it click over and over? or would i be better off getting a whole new starter?

 

I found a used starter for 95.95 on the web any know where i can find a write up on how to cahange one and how long it should take?

 

It is really easy, if you know where it is you can replace it.

Its held on by only two bolts, a ground, and one electrical connector. It took me about 20min to do it for the first time.

 

buy a remanufactured one from autozone.. or oreilly.. they come with a lifetime warranty.

 

you can get them from 50-70 @ http://www.car-part.com , install is really easy

 

There are three brands of Honda starters. If you have a Nippondenso (I am pretty sure this is the one) then you can just replace the starter contacts inside. It is a $10 fix. Most Honda dealers will have the contacts in stock. It is also only a ten minute job once you get the starter out. I have been working on Hondas/Acuras for quite a while, and I have never had to replace a starter motor, only replace the contacts. It seems like the only ones that have problems are the ones that you can get contacts for.

 

I agree with mighty mouse. I only paid 40 for the brushes installed. If you can do it yourself then it will be even less

 

bump more info is needed. Im calling the acura dealership monday when i get out of class.

 

i will bump one more time cause im realy hopin for some help here

 

are they any local shops around you? i got one from a shop for 50...what other info do you need?

 

just go to checker and buy one. my brothers 86 honda accord was clicking, and then starting after a few tries. i took the starter off, and it looked like it could use replacing. bought a new/refurbished one for $110. took about an hour to get the old one out and the new one in

 

where are you people buying them from? i go to autozone and **** and they wat 156 and up. and im trying to get out of this for under a hunderd. the cheaper i can do this and do it right the better. Being a broke college student i do have limitations on cash.

 

I never knew this was such a problem. I just had the pleasure of paying to have mine replaced since I didn't have time to do it myself.

 

bump, I got the same problem with my 94 ls, I get a few clicks b4 it finally turns over, stupid starter......

 

I have the same damn problem.....does anyone have a diagram of exactly where the starter is? I'm 80% sure that i found it, but just wanna make sure.

 

I gave a quick little theory as to what causes starting problems in this post. Just a little something I picked up from class. It's the last post in the thread. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=426323

Hope it answers your clicking question.. Good Luck..
