Acura 3.2L TL / CL Starter Motor Replacement
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- This video will show you step-by-step the procedure for replacing the starter motor for a Acura 3.2L V6 TL ('99 - '06), CL ('07 - '03) and Honda Accord ('98 - '07). The procedure is relatively straight forward. The most difficult task is removal of the bottom two bolts that holds the battery base plate. You can either get to it through the wheel well or from the engine compartment. I did it from the engine compartment.

Thanks Tom - we appreciate your comment. We try to produce the highest quality instructional videos we can.
Replaced my starter to my CL with no problems after watching this. Thank you!
Hey great ... easy isn't it?
I also have a cl. 03 to be exact. When removing the bracket for the battery where there bolts underneath as well?
Don't think so
Best video on this subject, will save me and others a few hundred dollars from a garage, your a life saver , Thank You.
Glad the video helped you out
Thanks for taking the time to show a clear video detailing this job! This video made the task so much easier! My battery bracket had about 10 different bolts tying it down so I decided to keep it in and work around it, which I think saved me some time. Getting at that 17mm bolt on the bottom was harder with that bracket in place, but worth not having to remove the bracket imo.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Excellent video, thank you for taking the time to make it. The ugga dugga measurement replacing the starter is a little difficult to convert but great info, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you! You saved me hundreds
Glad the video helped!
Best video I've. Watched on this, thanks!!!!!!!
Thanks for your comment and watching!
Ok got it wish I didn't have to take the battery bracket out. Thank you!
Glad it worked out for you and thanks for your comment and support!
Awesome video one of the best I have seen in a long time
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your support!
Ok...I’m doing replace this week! 😬 this is a great video! Thank you 😊. The new starter that I have looks like one of the washers are cracked and the nut is loose on the same area you said you were going to use the “factory bolt” with the built in washer. Should I take the starter back to the store?
It wouldn't hurt to have the store check out the condition of the replacement starter.
I DID IT! Thank you so much for this video. The parts store checked and the starter and everything was great. The bottom bolt was a bit difficult. But the car starts with no problems!! 😅
@@AngieMusicArt Hey ... that's great. Not that difficult of a job?
@@hardlymovingpro nope not difficult at all! I'm so excited! Best wishes to you!
Thank you mines just burnt out this morning one question where do I get thise wonderful toys like you got to change the starter out And whats hhe name of the ones you using
The power tools are battery driven electric 3/8 and 1/2" impact drivers make by Milwaukee Tools. The 3/8" is part of the M12 series; the 1/2" part of the M18 series. The long handle reversible ratchet wrench is made by Mountain Tools. The only other unique tool is the needle nose pliers. If you want the Amazon links to the tools, let me know.
Great video, thanks, doing this today on my acura...
Good luck!
I have quick question I just did my starter and 4 days later it failed. Now people telling me it's cause I didn't have starter shims and that the gear spun and damaged my flywheel is this really a thing? I didn't get any shims with the new starter and there wasn't any with the old one I took out
What shims? Just move the starter from the box and bolt to the engine.
Good job and movie 👍👍👍
Thanks!
Why you using power tools on batteries and terminals
Only low torque needed.
Can you tell me what size wrench and tools plzzzz
Get yourself a metric 3/8" socket set and a 3/8" short and long handle socket wrench.
What socket extension did you use while using the cheater bar ?
Think it was a 6 or 8" 1/2" extension attached to a 1/2" socket wrench.
Will this video help me replace my starter on my 2001 CL Type-S? I replaced my battery once and this video looks similar to my car, but noticed the desc. said for 03's-07's
If a V6 Engine in the CL, procedure should be nearly identical. Also, if you can see the starter after the battery has been removed, your almost half way there.
Thank you!!
Acura TL 09 when I press start it’s a single click noice no start but after a couple tries it starts and runs no problems is it the starter also has brand new battery so I know it’s not that
It's your starter. The solenoid is stuck or worn out.
Is it the same procedure on the 1997 model?
Sorry ... can't say.
Hope so my 97 accura rl needs a new starter, hoping i could do it
My car worked the night before but when I went to turn it on this morning it cranked but didn't start. I've been told it's not the starter but something else. Any suggestions?
And you replaced the starter motor?
Is the starter motor cranking over or is the car just dead? Did you check the status of your battery?
Everything turns on when it comes to the electricity like the radio and headlights. I have not replaced the starter. I've been trying to see if its a fuse, wiring, or fuel pump problem before replacing the starter. It cranks but no power.
@@cruzin5204 Without being there, it could be anything. Bad fuel pump, blow main or fuel pump fuse, no fuel, bad fuel, bad coil packs, etc.
Looks like I'm just going to have to take it in then and see. Thank you for you time and input much appreciated.
Is this a "TL 3.2 Acura" 2,000.?
Details are in the video description.
Sure this is still right for a 99? The battery and stuff is on the right side not the left
The vehicle I worked for this video is an 04. Honda V6 TB layout hasn't changed much over the years and models
@@hardlymovingpro thanks man I'm 16 so whenever I get the money for a starter and a bunch of other stuff I need for it and do some work I'll come back to the comment section just to let you know how it turned out
Get parts cheap at a salvage yard.
@@hardlymovingpro so this video isn’t for a 1996 Acura TL 3.2? I can’t find ANYTHING online on how to replace a starter for a 96 Acura TL 3.2. This is the only video that came up for a 96. I’m broke. I’m a single mom. Barely paying my bills. Working 12 hour shifts. I need to be able to do this myself. If this video isn’t for a 96 Acura TL, can anyone direct me to ANYTHING online that will help me. Please. The damn starter is already going to cost me $300. 😩😩
Go to rockauto.com for a better price. Just remove the air filter box and hoses above the starter for easy access.
Not a 1998 acura tl
Thanks for sharing!
