[t_cel_t]

fuck any thing like starters/alternators/dizzys that arent oem, shit is hit and miss.
not sure about honda starters, but if they are anything like toyota/nippon denso gear reduction starters they never go bad. you just got to throw new contacts in.

fuck thats what i should of did to my 84 toyota supra's starter. that sounds like exactly what went wrong with mine(my first thought wasnt even the starter, thought it was the ignition switch). now i have a shitty reman. it works but takes about twice as long to start up. use to start up before you even turned the key.

Yeap at $6 for both contacts for most of my fleet of vehicles.  :yes: ;D

I worked at a shop not too long ago that pretty much only used napa parts. Most of it was fine, but we wouldnt use their starters and alternators at all.

[soontobeDA]

no choice around here

besides autozone and pepboys

[ratcityrex]

All I use is napa, or Baxter Auto Parts. Fucken O'Reilly's auto parts is total shit. I use to go to schucks auto parts for odds and ends, but sine O'Reilly's bought them out it went from shitty to total fucking shit!

i usally get all parts from my homies carquest shop that deals with good parts

but they coudlnt get it for me the same day!

should of waited....


fuckkk

now i have to deal with this stupid CEL

[glustic]

fuck any reman parts, most is all garbage

[bluerex]

just get the lifetime warranty if it's something you drive/plan on keeping.  Napa is expensive.

[soontobeDA]

im not worried about getting new one

its just the hassle of removing one
and installing again

[chris]

Yeah and after the 3rd tow that free replacement deal doesnt look so nice. Why don't you just source good used oem parts its not hard and alot cheaper than that reman shit from Mexico.



I know the jdm thing most people think is a joke but most importers have bins of good used low mileage alternators,starter etc on the cheap.

Mom and pop stores ftw.

[soontobeDA]

well im going to get another one tomarro..


i should be fine connecting the battery to the starter when its installed on the car already rigiht?

just + - and jump the + to the spade terminal

i want to check it cranks nice and clean with no grinds before i put the stupid intake manifold back on

[ApexSilver06MR]

just slap it in, hook up the heavy gauge positive and hit the smaller gauge terminal with a + trigger. 

Even better, just hook everything up and use the key to crank. 

[colt45]

yeah, its called a bench test.  its where you test the unit on your work bench before putting it back into your car

im just hopeing its a pos starter and not the flywheel teeth
