TOYOTA STARTER MOTOR, EZ repair (Corolla Celica truck car prizm Vibe camry T100)

[leblancsebas]

Thank you, Jim!

[alexlipine]

Thanks for making this video :)

[JpArgentino]

This video was perfectly accurate! Thanks Jim. I used the Toyota OEM Part Numbers 28226-74070 and 28226-64370 for our 1998 Camry V6. They were $32 total and it took me less than an hour total to fix. Cleaning the plunger contacts with emery or sandpaper is the one tip that I HIGHLY recommend doing as Jim had instructed. Without doing this the repair is basically useless. Our car is starting like it is brand new and it has 178,000 miles on it!

Thank you so much for this video, i'm about to attempt it on my camry.

God Bless you!!!!

WOW! This sounds exactly my problem, with the exception that I don't always get a click as the solenoid sticks and I get a single click once in a while and I get nothing most turns of the key. I wonder if there is more work to do if the solenoid is sticking? I am gonna pull it a rebuild it! Thanks for the awesome instructions Jin!

[cellofingers]

Thanks Jim--That is absolutely the best video on any type car repair I have ever seen--bar none!

[jolivre]

Now that is what I call an EXCELLENT video.

There's nothing like experience and I'd bet you've done this job more times than you care to remember!

This is nice and clear all the way through, pays attention to important detail, and educational and enjoyable even for someone like me who has very limited mechanical knowledge. What's more it concerns possibly saving hundreds on unnecessary repairs with a little careful work of your own which has a real feelgood factor

Well done, Jim :)

THX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mauiboy49]

nice job Jim and thank you..well done

[chentges211]

The wife and I had one heck of a time removing the starter in the first place; once we got it out we pulled it apart and cleaned it just like you showed us put it back together, bench tested it and it works!!!! Thanks for saving us $100+ dollars thumbs up.

Hi, I have a 1985 Corolla and my starter has failed for the 3rd time in three years.

I've been buying Bosch remanufactured ones.

I live in the mountains and it is kind of damp up here.

Could my problem be that my contacts are just getting very rapidly corroded, as you outline in this video?

Thanks!

@Crashof2008 I believe the original manufacturer is ND (Nippon Denso) Perhaps your Bosch replacement is inferior to the original model. It seem unusual that it would fail so often.

i have a question i have a 98 camry 4 cycl. i have changed the battery terminals,the battery,the alternator,this morning when i gave it a jump it started it ok i took the jumper cable off then turned the engine on and off 5-6 times a row it did start it fine then few hrs later i went some where when i left my home i heard a click while trying to start it...then at the 2nd start the engine started...does it sound like a starter problem?

[earltuckian]

@MrProTechHD You don't say the mile on your Camry, but this sounds like your problem. If you take the starter off and find this to be the problem, then there is really nothing else you can do as everything else in the system has been changed. The only thing left to suspect would be the ignition switch on the steering column which is a very rare failure.

[MrProTechHD]

@earltuckian i figured it out what the problem was with the 98 camry 4 cycl starting problem...i found out that it was the shifting cable when the car does not properly lock on Park "P' if the car does not lock on park properly it will refrain the car from starting ...so there i loosened the screw which is located by the engine..and did some internally cleaning with a wd40 it solved the problem

[earltuckian]

@MrProTechHD I have seen this on Corollas in the 1990s. Thanks for the reply. Surely will help someone else.

[earltuckian]

@MrProTechHD - This changing of parts without actually knowing the problem is common, often very expensive and the exact reason almost all auto parts stores do not accept returns on electrical parts. I once experienced a VW dealership which did this as well. (Just start changing parts until the car runs.) All the time charging labor and spare parts at their customer's expense. Of course they are no longer in business.

[kevinmckercher]

Thank you sir. Very kind of you to share you hard earned knowledge with the rest if us

[mimranb]

very good pal thanks alot.



[laglaciere72]

Jim you are a credit to humanity,thank you.

[hemangster]

thank you for uploading this video. i followed all your steps and everything works fine. Saved me a ton of money.

[earltuckian]

@hemangster SUPERB! Thank you for the kind compliment. Nice to hear the comments as this validates the procedure. Regards, Jim

[fungyinpan1]

Hi, i follow the step from your video, but after i did all the cleaning and put the starter back in the car, It makes some "high pitch" weird noise instead of cranking when i turn my car on. The car will still start up but the noise is really scary. Any idea what was wrong with it?

[earltuckian]

@fungyinpan1 Sorry for your problems. but it seems that you must have done something wrong. Perhaps you do not have the starter motor properly installed to the engine? Loose bolts?

[braaaainz]

Oh My! time to get my hands dirty with this project! Thanks for uploading this helpful video :)

[spicyinmyeyesdave]

Thank you for showing me exactly what to do. I would have spent all day taking the starter totally apart and scrubbing every component.

[earltuckian]

@spicyinmyeyesdave Thank you for the kind compliment, and thank you for watching, best wishes for success on your efforts.

[ArcturusDruid]

You are awesome, thank you so much for posting this. You have taught me a lot and helped me empower myself, and keep my 87' Corolla running!

[earltuckian]

@ArcturusDruid Thank you for the kind compliment, Thank you for watching, best wishes for success on your repairs.

[BIGFRANKFROMENGLAND]

Please do a video on how to get the starter motor OFF of a Previa / Estima. It is extremely difficult to access the bolts!

[earltuckian]

@BIGFRANKFROMENGLAND It is not possible to do a video for every application. Thank you for watching.

[FervidSmoker]

I have a 93 Camry.

I hope this is the same starter as is in my car.

[earltuckian]

Depending upon if you have the V6 or 4 cylinder engine, it is not the same exact starter, but the components and repair procedure is identical on almost all Toyota starters for several decades. Thank you for watching.

[RonGJX]

Absolutely excellent and detailed. Super job. Confirms my suspicions from an expert.



[earltuckian]

@RonGJX Thank you for the kind compliment and for watching. I hope my video has assisted you in solving your problem.

[anasayson]

thank you... for that... hope we can fix ours...
