I bought this at a very low price from a store that was closing down. Shortly after installing it, the car started having intermittent long cranks. I spent weeks replacing other parts, but the issue persisted.
After researching on a Honda forum, I learned that the Honda Accord doesn't like aftermarket starters—many others had the same problem.
For Honda starters, it's best to buy a new OEM one or a good remanufactured one(from Denso). I wish I had known this beforehand.
Cons: intermittent long cranks
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I put in a reman denso starter in my 06 Titan back in 2017. Still working great!
Pros: still working great

Have any of the starters been Denso brand? I thought I remember hearing that for certain models of Japanese cars the starter HAS to be Denso (the OEM manufacturer) or it wont spin fast enough consistently to start the engine.
Pros: Denso spins fast enough
Cons: other brands spin slow
If it’s like the ones over here in the US, it’ll fit but the cable connector is in a slightly different place. I have a Denso Accord starter on my car now.
Pros: it will fit
Cons: cable connector different place

The top one is OE Denso. The aftermarket new Chinesium on the bottom. But I’ve heard better things about new Chinesium than reman Mexican.
Pros: better than reman Mexican
I assumed my starter was going out so I replaced it with a new Denso one and it fixed the issue for maybe two weeks. After that it started to not crank first try and would take a while, now it’s almost every time I start it, it takes a while. I hear the starter spin and click every time so I assume it’s just not engaging the flywheel.
Pros: fixed issue for two weeks
Cons: issue returned, not engaging flywheel
I'm having a similar issue. Only hear a click when I push the ignition, the starter motor doesn't spin. I replaced the starter with a Denso remanufactured, getting the same problem. I bench tested and verified the remanufactured one spins.
Pros: remanufactured one spins
Cons: same problem after replacement
the denso I had before was sealed water tight.
Pros: sealed water tight
I'm probably gonna go with the reman Denso unit from Rockauto.
Pros: reman unit
