vs
Starter motor OEM Toyota or Denso
Reviews
They want $514 for an oem so I went with a Denso hopefully it works, it was around $330
Pros: cheaper than OEM
A reman Denso starter is a reasonable compromise.
Pros: reasonable compromise
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Mine did the same thing recently. I would turn the key and everything would light up, car would act normal, but the starter wouldn’t engage. I replaced the starter with a reman Denso unit off of RockAuto and I’ve been good to go since.
Pros: easy job to do
Vehicle:
Toyota
Thank you all for the tips and advice. I've ordered a Denso (OEM) starter. I'm relived we ruled out the flywheel.
Pros: relieved, ruled out flywheel
I did an oil change and replaced my starter because my started had gone out after 270,000 miles.
Pros: starter replaced after long use

Toyota Corolla
Mileage: 270000 km
I just replaced my starter motor on my N210 4Runner. What you're experiencing is identical - battery is fine, clicking + no start. I replaced a door actuator just prior and had disconnected the Negative on the battery as part of the door sensing sequence and it seemed to awaken my starter issue. I too had periodic starting to none.
Pros: fixed starting issue
Cons: periodic starting problems
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
I agree with the other fellow, your OEM starter is goin to be much more robust than what you buy.
Pros: much more robust
If it's OE it is Denso and worth keeping compared to the parts stores garbage.
Pros: worth keeping, robust
Cons: parts stores garbage
Maybe starter motor is failing

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
