vs
Starter motor OEM Toyota or Denso
Reviews
It seems to work pretty well, AC/heat keep blowing with the engine off in well designed systems. Starter is often much better than conventional starters, bringing engine to higher RPM at start which reduces the normal issues with constant start-stop.
Pros: AC/heat keep blowing
Cons: poor implementation
Toyota 2UZ is in the same spot, and the original starter in those can last well past 250k miles when they're not being roasted by the exhaust and drenched in water regularly.
Pros: starter lasts long
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 402336 km
Starter at ~180k miles and steering rack at ~300k, never left me stranded.
Pros: never left me stranded
Vehicle:
Toyota Land Cruiser
Mileage: 180000 km
Might be a long shot but see if there is a Starter/Alternator repair shop nearby. They will be able to disassemble and fix what is wrong using much higher quality parts that what auto parts stores use.
Pros: higher quality parts
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
I went with Denso from Advanced Auto last year. So far no issues and very nice quick starts
Pros: very nice quick starts
Cons: no issues
Denso would be the one I would want on a Lexus.
Pros: preferred brand
Vehicle:
Lexus
The Denso remanufactured unit is perfectly ok!
Pros: perfectly ok
Vehicle:
Honda
Given the price, I bought the reman Denso from Rockauto and replaced it myself.
Pros: good price
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
Appears to be OEM as it has Toyota branding on it. I tried tapping it with a hammer while my daughter turned the key but it didn't ever turn the engine again.
Vehicle:
Toyota
About 2 weeks ago my bike started to struggle starting when the bike was hot. It acted like the battery was dead - which was a fairly new (3months) old) Lithium Ion Shorai Battery. I replaced the LiOn with the OEM battery (that's $500 in battery's and a LiOn charger). After much research online it seems this is a known issue with the Denso factory starter motor. The brushes wear unevenly, and quickly.
Cons: brushes wear unevenly, quickly
Mileage: 10000 km
