vs
Starter motor OEM Toyota or Denso
Reviews
the denso I had before was sealed water tight.
Pros: sealed water tight
I suggest you go with a brand new OEM replacement.. an aftermarket one will genuinely fail much earlier.. the original lasted you this long.. but once cry once
Pros: original lasted long
Cons: aftermarket fails earlier
I'm probably gonna go with the reman Denso unit from Rockauto.
Pros: reman unit
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
Denso is the only option you should go with.
Pros: only option
Vehicle:
Honda
Some aftermarket starters are garbage, some are good. Denso starters are usually pretty solid if they still make them for your vehicle.
Pros: Denso starters are solid
Cons: aftermarket starters are garbage
The best will always be OE Honda (or Denso, that's the OE manufacturer). RockAuto has a remanufactured Denso for $183, that's the one I'd go with.
Pros: OE quality, reliable
Vehicle:
Honda
I finally had to replace my OE starter on my 2nd gen at \~230k miles. The OEM Denso starters that Toyota uses on these trucks are solid. You are more than likely fine for a long time.
Pros: solid, long lasting
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 230000 km
Denso starter in my Toyota 4runner lasts like 15 years / 150k+ miles before needing a rebuild and can take it out easily.
Pros: lasts 15 years, easy removal
Cons: needs rebuild after 150k miles
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Mileage: 241401 km
I wouldn't recommend buying a noname brand though and rather go for remanufactured denso or whatever the original was.
Cons: noname brand not recommended
My issues with no crank no start was my starter. it would start intermittently, but then at times just click. I bought a reman denso and swore it wasn't the starter swapped in a new clutch switch. Swapped the starter out for another reman denso. Swapped in a new immobilizer. Kept swearing it wasn't the starter. Just put in 2. Took it to the dealer; of coursr, the RSX ran fine all the times they tried driving it. Finally bought a WAI starter off Amazon. It was the stupid denso. Normally, denso are good. Not so here.
Pros: WAI starter worked
Cons: Denso starter failed
Vehicle:
Acura RSX
