How to change your starter

First of all, make sure that the problem is actually with the starter. If your warning lights and radio work, it's not the battery. Does your car run a bit and then die? That could be the alternator. If you have a friend with you have them listen to see if they hear the clicking of the starter as you try to turn the engine over. This is the starter solenoid. If there is no clicking, change the $10.00 solenoid. If all of this is not the issue you may have a bad starter.

1. Find the battery.

2. Disconnect the battery.

3. Follow the large wire down the back of the battery to the starter.

4. Disconnect the positive wire from the starter.

5. Disconnect the negative wire from the starter.

6. You may want to mark the wires to keep them straight.

7. Un-bolt the starter. KEEP A MENTAL NOTE OF THE ORIENTATION OF THE STARTER.

8. Place the new starter in place.

9. Lightly bolt it just enough to keep it from falling out.

10. Re-connect the wires from the battery.

11. Don't forget to ground the starter.

12. Bolt it back in place.

Good job.

This answer is totally wrong. Before you can remove the starter you must remove about 28 other things first. Like the intake manifold and a nest of wires tubing and cables and such. The solenoid is internal in the starter and cannot be fixed without rebuilding the starter. It's not a $10 add on part. A new Honda starter is about $389.

*Very true. You must first remove the intake manifold which is an involved process. But, it is not hard at all if you just look for instructions online. Also, a new starter at your local parts store will run you between $120 and $170. Do not try to get one through your local Honda dealer. That is where you will pay close to $400.
