Starter motor Denso or OEM Honda

Stop putting aftermarket starters in. Get one from Honda. Not other way to stop the issue.

Have any of the starters been Denso brand? I thought I remember hearing that for certain models of Japanese cars the starter HAS to be Denso (the OEM manufacturer) or it wont spin fast enough consistently to start the engine.

If it’s like the ones over here in the US, it’ll fit but the cable connector is in a slightly different place. I have a Denso Accord starter on my car now.

The top one is OE Denso. The aftermarket new Chinesium on the bottom. But I’ve heard better things about new Chinesium than reman Mexican.

Starter mine did the same thing, replaced starter and moved flywheel one bolt according to tsb from honda.

the denso I had before was sealed water tight.

I'm probably gonna go with the reman Denso unit from Rockauto.

My original starter lasted 9 years / 215k miles on the dot. I ended up finding a brand new OEM Honda starter on eBay for $238 shipped.

a bit(a lot actually) of internet research got me a denso clone(looks like a hi torq) meant for a kubota tractor.

Just a word of warning, those accords with the K24 do not like aftermarket starters. We've installed a few aftermarket starters and they come back with long cranks, and the Honda, for some reason, will cause an engine light for the long/slow crank. The aftermarket ones just don't have the same jam as the OE ones.
