Starter motor OEM Toyota or OEM Honda

Only issues I’ve had have been starter motor went, did water pump and timing belt when the pump went. Had the injector seal leak so got injectors done. Other than that it’s been a solid car.

I had an 09 Cam which was used as a delivery vehicle for the first few years of its life, and had to replace the starter... used a Toyota reman, no issues for the next 12 years and 130k km.

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

It turns out it was the starter motor. Managed to get a second hand one and changed it over, took the told one apart and noticed it had 4x brushes in it and one was completely worn down or potentially could have cracked at some point. Still confuses me to why it would start sometimes and not others. However, this must have been a problem for a while as my car sounds completely different when starting up, really clean!!!!

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

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.

I would recommend a Honda genuine remanufactured starter. 3year/36k mile warranty and it's a genuine Honda part so it will work.

It's going to (probably) end up being the starter. Honda put out a bulletin for this problem with the 2.4l in this generation. P0339 on start-up gets caused by either 1)aftermarket starter or 2)slowly failing OEM starter, cranking the engine in a funny rhythm that's makes the pcm think the crank pattern is bad.

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.

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.
