For any newcomers to the video, the torque specs are 33 pounds for the 14 mil starter bolt, 47 for that 17 mil starter bolt. 7 pounds for that power wire on the starter, 16 pounds for the manifold, manifold bracket, and throttle body. And lastly for those 10/12 mil sensor brackets it’s 8.7 pounds 😊 (Edit : I called Hondas parts department and got these specifications directly from them)

Thank you for such a clear and accurate video. I'm just now finishing up the starter on my spare car. Saved me an $800 quote from a couple local shops

Just used this video as a step by step guide to replacing ym father in law's starter on his accord. It worked perfect and I felt very confident. Thank you very much. Took a lot of the stress off of my back today.

Excellent video Brian, just wrapping up a successful starter replacement on my 2006 accord. Thanks for saving me 6 hours of head scratching!

thanks for this video, got a 2006 accord with the 2.4, verly slow starting lately, just put in a new battery, looks like im going to do this, hoiw many miles were on yours when you replaced it? mine is at 133k

I really appreciate this video and how well you describe things and explain them without humin' and hawin' and dragging out time endlessly and unnecessarily. The only question I have likely not gonna be seen but I'm just curious when you put the starter back in, does sit in place Or does that one small end slip inside another part to sit in place before reattaching the bolts? Thanks again!

I do not have a really shallow ratchet to get to the wiring bolt at 3:30. How do I get at the long main bolt in the back to get the starter off? There's no angle to get my ratchet wrench in to get it off.

I just changed my starter out on a 2.4L 2006 accord coupe. Save yourself some time. No need to completely take the intake plenum all the way off or take anything off the throttle body. Just unbolt the plenum and pull it out of the way. If you have a resonator under it you may need to unhook a couple vacuum lines to pull the plenum far enough out the way.

is the starter different for a manual vs automatic transmission?

I had changed one last week.thank you!

Hey I really don't feel like replacing my starter. i am pretty sure it isn't the starter because when I turn the key nothing happens besides my radio turning on and all my lights turn on. I checked the cables on the battery and I charged the battery to see if it was a weak battery but nothing happened. Any suggestions?

Thanks Brian! Clear, concise instructions. Now I feel empowered to take on this job. Brain, do you think it would be a benefit to take this opportunity to use carb cleaner to clean out inside of manifold and throttle body? Mike

That last bolt at the very bottom, I'm having such a hard time getting it out, any suggestions?

Do you have the part number for the starter?

Why remove throttle body? Just curious I will say I respect anyone who does his own work. Saves $$ I would only get a new plenum gasket tho. I don't like to reuse that 1.

Do not know how get the code for the radio after the starter replace?

Thanks !

My first attempt at this, got the old starter out and the new one in place, but I'm having trouble getting the black wiring connector to mate correctly to the new starter. Going to try again in the morning. I don't think it should take much force, guessing the connectors aren't quite lined up, but i couldn't get it for the life of me.
