Honda Accord Starter Replacement 2.4L (I4) 2004 (2003-2007 Similar)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2017
- In this video I show you how I replace the starter and intake manifold gasket on a 2004 Honda Accord. The exact vehicle in the video is a 2004 Honda Accord EX 2.4L four cylinder. The parts shown are for this 2004 model, make sure to get the correct parts for your application. Other seventh generation 2.4L Accords (2003-2005) should be similar but may not be exactly like the vehicle shown in the video. 2006-2007 Accords have a drive by wire system (instead of a cable) so the throttle body is different on those models but the basic layout is similar.
I recommend allowing time for the vehicle to cool down if it has been recently driven before removing the intake manifold.

i guess I'm pretty randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?
Hi can you please help me with my car
Dear Dave,
Your repair videos are outstanding. The thoughtful methodical relaxed manner and all the wonderful tips really help to reduce the stress and fear of trying these projects for the first time. Thank you.
Today I undertook the replacement of the 2007 Accord 2.4L starter with a $30 remanufactured starter that came out of a 2007 CR-V
According to the dealer, there system shows that the 2006 and 2007 2.4L Accords share the identical replacement part number with the 2007, 2008, 2009 CR-V
After completing the swap of the defective original starter with the remanufactured 2007 CR-V starter, ai was delighted that the car instantly kick on and started the engine as soon as I turned the ignition switch to the second position. I was delighted when I tried this several times and at each instance the engine immediately turned on.
The most difficult and time consuming part was the two electrical connectors located beneath the exhaust plenum. Separating these two electrically connectors, sliding them of the bracket hidden from sight behind them and then extracting the loom from the little clip by separating the two little wings located behind the bracket was a nightmare
I didn’t have a needle nose the turned up at a 90 degree angle. But eventually it all came out and putting everything back took only one hour vs. six hours learning how to take it apart.
I wound up with several problems which perhaps you can guide me through (I hope)
1) when I engaged the car I to drive there was a sudden massive frightening jolt. No matter what gear I went into, including reverse, there was a massive frightening jolt of the entire car.
This jolt is so severe I am afraid to drive it.
Could a portion of the pinion gear have fallen off the defective stater and imbedded itself in the large gear it mates with? Is that a possible explanation?
Or, perhaps I didn’t properly and sufficiently tighten the 17mm and 14mm bolts that secure the new starter?
What do I do to trouble shoot?
2) The rev remained at 2,000rpm and would not drop to 700 or 800rpm. This may be because the air intake tube may have a broken small tube at the top of the large black rectangular plastic connector that has a large round 1” rubber connector beneath it?
3) several DTC that existed before the starter repair include
P0420 - the exhaust catalytic converter is rusted and seems to have a few penetrations one one side, oxygen sensor
Decline in efficiency of the catalytic converter in bank 1,
Or a bad oxygen sensor
(Not good) both are expensive parts
P1009
Variable valve timing control advance malfunction
Causes:
engine oil level
Dirty engine oil
Check VTC stainer for blockage
Faulty VTC oil control solenoid or circuit
Faulty VTC actuator
Engine mechanical problem
Stretched ‘timing chain’ or damaged ‘tensioner’ can cause this problem
Replace engine oil to see if that is the problem
P2649
Problem in bank 1 ‘rocker arm’ actuator control system.
Too little oil in the engine ****
I checked and oil level is fine
P0139
Oxygen sensor ‘slow response’
(Bank one sensor two)
Faulty Oxygen sensor
Leaks in the exhaust system
o
Any advice you may offer as to why the car jolts so severely when engaging any gear would be very much appreciated
Many thanks
David
If the car ran perfect before I would double check all work (make sure everything is connected, plugged in, installed properly etc) and possibly pull the starter out and check for damage and reinstall. A high idle right after work was done typically means something was left disconnected or not completely installed properly. Also, the car has codes for timing/rocker arm problems which can also be causing what you describe (just because oil level is ok now doesn't mean damage has not already been done from low oil or long oil change intervals). Thank you for the comment and good luck!
I shot this video start to finish and tried to show how I removed every nut, bolt and part, which made it a bit longer. Hopefully somebody will find it helpful.
yes, I found it very informative, as you did not assume the viewer would know some of the finer points
that a well-heeled mechanic would.
Very good job thanks
Thanks for sharing. Good video.
the only helpful video by the only helpful guy, from my heart to yours, thank you
Big Dog50001 Automotive Very helpful and so glad to find your tutorial.
I just want to thank you for your video,. I followed your instructions and was able to replace the starter on my 2007 Honda Accord Se 2.4. But it took me about 4 hrs because am not a mechanic and the configuration of my 2007 Honda Accord SE model was slightly different from the model you worked on. Besides, I did not have all the tools you had. But all the same, I replaced the starter, and the car after sitting down for 2 months now is driving fine. Thank you so much.
Nice job! Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
This is an excellent video.
Some additional tips
1. It is easier to remove the B-terminal nut on the starter after removing the 14mm and 17mm mounting bolts
2. Reattach the wire to the B terminal on the new starter before you position it and put mounting bolts back in
3. If the old starter is original. The mounting bolts may be extremely difficult to remove. Spray with PB Blaster or penetrating oil and use a long breaker bar for extra leverage to break loose.
Thank you saved hundred of dollars doing this myself.
Thanks for the comment!
Just want to say that you helped me out big time. I'm not a car guy and have only done battery replacements and oil changes. Today i replaced my starter all because of how helpful this video was. Thank you!
Carlos Espejo Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
great job, congratulations!
Might of been 2 years ago but good for you brother! Hope the Starter is still working. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much. I replaced my starter today on a 2006 honda accord with an OEM one. Took me a good two hours as it was my first DIY. Seeing the horror of the 17 mm bolt being hard to come off, i sprayed pb blaster two days prior and let it soak. The bolt came off without any effort with a half in socket and 24 inch breaker bar. Also, i guess everyone removed the 14 mm bolt first, which causes further pressure on the 17 mm. Id suggest remove the 17 mm and then proceed with the 14 mm. New ignition switch + new starter + new battery, car starts like a brand new one.
You are exactly correct ✅
I found the large wide electrical connector (about twenty pins) to the right and behind the throttle body was left unconnected. As soon as I reconnected it the car immediately shifted beautifully and ran well.
Many thanks
David
Thanks for this video. It proved to be one of the easiest starter replacements I’ve done. Only took about an hour and I didn’t have to crawl under the car.
“While we are there we might as well pull the knock sensor connector off, so we don’t knock it”. I see what you did there.
But kidding aside you are one of those rare UA-cam assets, who’s expertise and detailed explanation, cleanliness of work is top notch. If I lived nearby I would drive my Honda Accord to you close my eyes write you a blank check and ask you to fix everything in it. Thank you!
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
This is the DEFINITIVE video on how to change out a starter!! Thank you very much! You saved me over a thousand dollars. I can't thank you enough!
Thank you for the detailed video. My local shop wanted $525 to do this. I was able to buy the parts and do it myself thanks to your clear and detailed video. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Much appreciated!
This is why I do videos, I love to hear success stories like this. Thank you for the comment!
How long did it take you to do? This looks insanely complicated.
Thanks so much. I watch all your 2.4l accord videos and they are very informative. Its great to see how clean and thorough you are with your work. Keep it up
H4L Thanks!
Same here i have 2005 2.4
Your video made my starter motor change much easier than if I had battled through it by myself. Cheers from New Zealand. Chur.
Thanks for the comment!
Used your video to replace a knocksensor on a 2003 Honda Accord, I couldn't enough grip on wiring harness to pull if off knocksensor. I only had to pull intake out a little to reach it and get it replaced. Excellent video, everything went extremely easy! Thanks
Glad it helped, thank you for the comment!
Excellent man!! the video might be a little long and that is what makes it even more special. You didn’t rush it you take your time you show where every bolts were and how to get them. after watching several videos on how to replace your starter, so far this video is the best of all nice and simple. Thank you!!
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
Honda couldn't think of a worst place to put their starter .
Dunno which is worse: this K-series, or a northstar Cadillac...
Look up acura tl 3.2 starter location. I love honda but they are retards at starter placements 😂
@@pinytenis420 i have a 01 acura tl 3.2L whats wrong with the starter placement.
Have you tried an hhr? Even worse
Mike 839 in a very hard to get dumb spot under things
Outstanding video, very detailed, honest and can tell you are a hell of a wrench who cares!! 129 dislikes above must be people who have had manicures and are afraid of getting dirt under their nails!
I guess I can't please everyone, thank you for the comment I appreciate it!
@@BigDog50001 you did a fine job!!! have a happy Thanksgiving too!
By far the best start to finish video out there!
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Your video help me a lot. You did not leave out any small detail. I have an 07. There were minor differences. One of the irritating differences was a metal coolant tube about an inch above the nut on the starter. Had to take out 2 bolts on the bracket holding the tube. I could move it just enough to get a ratchet and socket on it. You definitely were a big help . Thank you
Thank you for the comment and the input!
Great video. Your a very good teacher. A lot of your little reminders are things that go through my head too. That 17mm bolt was the hardest for me. What took you 5 minutes took me over an hour. Had to use all types of tool combinations to try and get it out and had to pull that manifold back pretty far. Like you said, it didn't hurt the manifold. As always it seems, it was the last bolt that was the hardest!
Thanks for the comment!
I looked at several videos and yours was the best. I was hesitant about doing the work myself until I saw your video. My daughter had her starter replaced on her 2005 Accord and the cost was $600. I got a re-manufactured starter from Orielly (Autozone did not have them in stock). Total cost with intake gasket was about $175. Took me about 4 hours, but probably spent 1 hour in breaking loose the two starter bolts. My 2004 Accord had a long extended bolt on the back bolt. Made it much easier to get a socket on it. The closest starter bolt was 17mm. I figure I could do it in no more than 3 hours if I had to do it again. New starter turns the engine over much faster before it starts.
Good to hear you got it fixed, thanks for the comment!
An hour twenty five and it was done. Replaced starter ourselves, all good, car is running fine. Thank you for the video!!!!
Nice job! Thanks for the comment!
Love it. Very detailed step by step explanation. Nothing rushed. Well done sir.
Thanks!
i watched other videos on this exact install and I would say you saved me an hour from not having to remove and re-install the coolant hose. But I did have to watch this video a couple times
Well hopefully this video helped you out!
I've never worked on cars before. This video helped me remove my starter today, thanks!
Thank you. I changed my starter easily because of your well produced end-to-end video. If I had had a cordless ratchet and a couple of flex head ratchets the job of getting the 17mm bottom bolt out would have been easier. As you suggested, I will get those tools with the money I saved! Thank you
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
@@BigDog50001 hey i hope ur still on this channel.. I really need to know what tool to get for that 17 .. I did everything and up till that final one to remove I realized I did not own the tool to be able to remove that one please get back to me asap my car has been down since yesterday thank you!
Special thanks for the level of detail you put into this video. Excellent work sir and you helped shorten my repair time. I was able to see the problems before they became an issue.
Thank you!
Another great video Big Dog! I like how you show every step. Important for us novices.
Thank you, I try! I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Thank you for this video I was able to change it out on my own and everything works perfectly. I did have a hollow black box behind the manifold that I had to remove to get to the starter. In case anyone has the same problem. It’s just 4 bolts and the whole box will come out.
Thanks for the comment!
Thank you Big Dog for your video. Your video is very helpful. I just followed it and finished replacing starter for my Honda Accord. Thanks again.
Glad to hear it helped you out, thanks for the comment!
AMAZING !! work my friend . this is truly helpful . The camera angles and the step by step is what makes your DIY video the best one out there. Keep up the good work. :)
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. I wasn't a car guy and I got my car started after changing my starter. Thanks very much
sean shindelbower Thanks for the comment, I’m glad the video helped you out.
Excellent video!!! Thanks for your time and efforts posting this informative video. I appreciate your professionalism and your obvious skill set as an excellent technician. Great work!!
Thanks for the note that 2006, 2007 accords have different throttle mechanism (wire vs cable in older models). It's gonna take me an extra step to mess around with the throttle.
Yes a slightly different setup. Thanks for the comment!
Your awesome buddy
First rate! I'm a very seasoned DIYer and found your video to be exceptional! Thank you for taking the time to show the CORRECT way to do it! Just finished mine. It took about 1.5 hours and I took my time. :)
Glad you got yours fixed, thanks for the comment!
@@BigDog50001 if you are interested, I can email you a very unusual air con issue that I had with my other Accord (06 V6) that the dealer couldn't figure out, but I did. Are you a Honda OEM tech?
Thanks Big Dog 🐕 excellent video and a big help to me! I remember starters taking an hour to replace but I'm getting up there, 68.
👍
Like Carlos my starter is now changed. Very grateful for the wonderful instructional video. Thanks a bunch.
Thank you for the comment!
This video was excellent. Followed it step by step and everything went smoothly. Thanks!!
Excellent, thanks!
Thank you for sharing it. Great job you have done there. I am always take care my own vehicles by myself, but before that, One time I brought my Nissan Sentra to the mechanic for them to replace the CB boots... I was there watching them when the boy who remove and replace the drive shafts back, the boy slides the one of the shaft crooked, he didn’t know it wasn’t straight, he tried to use his hammer to force it in... lucky I was there and watch him... I stopped him on time. If I was there... the damage probably huge and would be blaming on my engine.... from that day on I do not trust any mechanic anymore.
One time my niece brought her car to has her oil changes... when she got home her car has no oil in it. The mechanic didn’t tight the drain plug.... the mechanic shops always blame on their insurance policy that the insurance companies won’t allow the customers to watch while the job being done... because the safety... that is a big bull shit. This is the way they can cheat their customers. For instance they never use the synthetic oil in your car, they use recycled oil , but charging their customers with synthetic oil prices and they don’t change new oil filter for you. Keep this in mind people, they charging you five quarts of synthetic oil but never did. I caught them red handed, one time while I was in Houston Texas. Beware there are many bad people out there! OK, if you disagree with my post, please write back and tell me which part of my post you don’t like. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment.
Thank you so much. Replaced the starter just from your instructions.
This video was great! I couldn't have done the swap without it... Thank you!
Thanks for the comment!
Amazing concise video, very descriptive and informative. 2 thumbs up!!
Thanks!
This is a great video , one thin is hard to understand and is how people can give him tums down ,because a video like this deserve a perfect score , keep the good work my friend .
Can't please everyone I guess, thanks for the comment!
Thank you for making this video, it helped me change my starter on my accord!
tou xiong Glad it helped!
This is the best video for this job! Everything you said would be tough was, but I knew that going in. My most difficult bolt to extract was the one in back of the motor mount. I now think it might have been easier if the manifold was loosened first just to prevent binding against the bracket. Anyway thanks for all your help.
Thanks for the comment!
Hey,
Thank you so much for putting up this video, you saved me lots of $$$. I can’t thank you enough.
God Bless
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Thank you so much, I saved a lot of money replacing the starter myself. :)

Thanks for the informative video. The bolts for the starter was a bit hard , but got the job done !
They can be on there tight, thanks for the comment!
Very knowledgeable mechanic. Thank you for this video.
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
Thank you very much for your video I was able to fix my car
Many thanks for the video! I still have the 2003 Accord running strong so I hope I never have to replace that starter myself 8-)
I appreciate the comment, thank you!
Outstanding video. Very informative. Thanks for sharing. Another lifelong subscriber here.
Thank you for the comment and welcome!
Holy damn I did it! BTW 07 Accord is slightly different behind the intake. There's less room but no vacuum hose
Yes, 06-07 Accords have a drive by wire setup so it is slightly different, good job on the fix!
At 103K I had the intake off my wife's 2.4, and there was about 1/8" of muck built up on the inside. I took the opportunity to clean this out, and if your car is old enough to wear out two starters, it probably would have been worth looking at also. Also, I would like to see you do some V6 videos!
Awesome video man. Well explained and well put together.
Thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it!
GREAT JOB, very professional, I got a starter to replace this weekend, thanks for the video.
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!
@@BigDog50001 just a update with your video I was able to remove and replace my starter in 3 hours from start to finished. And that flex head ratchet , and ratchet wrench is a must. Thanks
Awesome!

Thank you!
very helpfull indeed best one i saw all day .gotta do my daughters honda, i'll be just fine after watching video thanks big time!!
Thank you for the comment!
Hey Big Dog50001 Automotive. I pulled out the starter motor today on my Honda. I would like to say thanks. This Vid was amazing and very helpful. I was able to put a piece of pipe around my ratchet to get more leverage on the bolts holding the starter motor. For a new Honda OEM starter motor the dealer wants $1600. haha whatever. . i'lll get an after market around $430 for an OEX brand which the dealer sells also. (Thats here in Australia) I hope im not getting ripped off But hey i need this car back on the road ASAP. Thanks again for making this Vid. Legend!
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!
Ohhh man, u can tell this guy never wants to lose n argument! !

Thank you, glad it helped!
Another great video , thanks Big Dog
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
Excellent job as usual.Top Notch , thank you.
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
Well..... This video needs about 1 million more views. This is the only video that shows exactly what to do from start to finish, the easiest way. The other ways make no sense after you see this. Having to take apart the entire intake, air box, hoses, connectors... YUCK! There's also that other sorry method that involves removing the radiator, even more stupid. You Sir are AWESOME!
Thanks for the comment!
I'd like to know who are the 17 dislikes... likely some mechanics who've beat ppl out of a lot of money. I haven't changed a starter before, but if I have to, I know where to come.
Very good video.
lol Thanks for the comment!
Awesome video and very well explained. Thanks so much.
Thank you!
Thank you sir, you've just saved me money...
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
good video with all details, thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you! You did a terrific job!
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
Thats a slick 3/8 power ratchet! Beats having an air hose in the way. I dont turn enough wrenches anymore to justify buying one but I would get one if I did.
They are so much nicer than air operated ratchets. Go ahead, buy one lol!
Thx for the torque sequence and specs.👍
You bet 👍!
