If your battery is draining and/or this happens on every start, replace the starter. Had similar issues and replaced the starter and car starts way smoother now.
I've put 100k on my 2.4 Accord Coupe 6 speed, and other than the infamous starter problem, I've had to do nothing to it.
I ignored this warning on my ranger. 30 yr old car and a now 5 year old starter and I've had no issues
Our 2007 Accord was $2250 in July of 2023. It had 235k miles but was well taken care of. Put on maybe 20k since then with few problems...(starter and brakes).
Over the years I've read that the Element starter can start to go bad with just slightly different than normal reasons - most usual is a clicking or the car just not turning over.
I have an 06 178k miles and my starter just failed on me. I was hoping it was a relay or switch but I had a new OEM one put in for around $800 ish as well.
Just cheap shitty plastic my guy
Those starters fucking suck they get so much corrosion around those terminals when you go to break the nut lose it'll snap the plastic right off its a shitty design
It is obviously made out pot metal, so yeah super cheap.
the starter actually failed at 35,000km
