I like it better when you explain each step and having a body to put some light into what you are doing. Looking from a far side is difficult to see. Specially for people like me who are not mechanics .
I didn't want to squeeze the intake manifold out but the more I look at other options, it actually doesn't look that bad. It's worth it to just make as much space a possible. Otherwise it's a pain working in such a tight space. Of all the other vids I watched, you made it the easiest job IMO.
Watched a ton of videos before attempting. Yours seemed the most logical. Clearly you are a pro mechanic. I am not, but I’ve had my crv for 10 yrs and have not had to take to a shop, thanks to you! So glad I found your vid. There was no way I could have loosened that 17mm from the bottom! Ps, I didn’t have to take the front grill off.👍🏻💪
Thanks a TON man! That worked flawlessly! Excellent, detailed video that was exactly what I needed and extremely helpful. First start after install produced irradic idle but then I turned it off and started again and idle was fine. Guess the vacuum lines had to reset or something. All good! Thanks so much for posting. Much appreciated!
Gracias mi esposo con la ayuda de este video ayer me cambio la marcha dr mi CRV 2008...Le dio trabajo pero lo hizo..Gracias a este muchacho tan chulo...
Well done. You're the first poster that has shown where the solenoid is located. If it's just a bad solenoid, you don't need replace the starter, right?
Make sure to check the hood release cable before you close the hood! This efffup job will be harder than the starter swap (90% successful, forgot a vacuum hose so the idle is crazy).
I cannot imagine wrenching on Honda automobiles all day. I get the shakes just from having to do an oil change on select models. For some stupid reason they have the oil filter right on top of a crossmember that is guaranteed to get oil all over it. Now your saying that your supposed to take the intake off to get at the starter.Good god man what were they thinking?, unless of course they were not thinking.
I never minded working on them, but it is a terrible place for a starter, I'll agree with you there! I think they saw that Cadillac did it on the Northstar motor and they thought it would sell better in the U.S if we knew the starter was a pain in the ass to do.
That was actually a pretty good video. I wonder; if I want to replace the PCV valve, would I have to remove the intake to do so? Just wondering. Good job on the video.
Great video. On my 2003 crv. I don't have 12 volts when you turn key and clip on wire on side I believe it the switch on wire. Any help to look for? I tested r1 starter cut relay. It clicks
You can do it from the top if your arm is long enough, but I went in from underneath, take that splash shield off if it's still there. I think it was missing on this one, made it really easy :P Good luck!
Hey I have a question I replace mine today it took me pretty much half a day those bolts was so tight and so ok I put everything back and now I got a check engine code it’s Po177 like IMT VALVE STUCK ON HIGHT RMp?
Did you take the intake off? The IMT is a runner valve in the intake, there is a solenoid by the power steering pump that sends vacuum down a tube to an actuator on the intake. There is also a position sensor there. Make sure all this stuff is plugged back in properly.
CARtastrophe365 yeah I put back everything I think when I trying to put back the hose that was missing I was hearing a buzzing noise it was sucking air a lot so I turn off the car and remove the valve cause I couldn’t get the hose back it was the hose underneath the little valve so I remove the the valve and unplugged the sensor put it back and I got the code the car I feos normal well kinda weird I haven’t done the idle relearn thing
CARtastrophe365 everything was fine all the sensor nothing was wrong before but I thing I was when I put the hose back I had it 2 codes on on pending so I clear both of them the pending it was the same so that one i clear it all but the other one still there I don’t noticed nothing wrong everything seems like normal
In the video you state the part can be ordered at Honda e-store for ~$400. What is the part number? I'm getting "31200-PPA-A04" at e-store which costs ~$1,000.
Excellent question. The part number I bought was 31200-PPA-A04RM, the "RM" on the back means that it was a re-manufactured part. There is a HUGE price difference between new and reman. The other question I would have for you is what year your car is, starting around 08-ish they have had issues with starters setting erroneous P0339 codes and may have updated the design, that would make them more expensive too. But since it's the same part number as mine, minus the RM, I assume your'e dealing with an older vehicle still. Thanks for watching brother! Good luck!
Would this approach also work for the alternator? I just finished the starter on another Honda using your video and it really went smoothly, just can’t remember if I had access to alternator
CARtastrophe365 the starter I did was on a 2002, like you did, you definitely had the best approach of everything I saw, just not sure how different a 2005 Honda CR-V is
Man my 05 Crv having starting problems on cold 🥶 weather I replace the battery went to Autozone they check the alternator and the starter when I start the engine i barely wants to start so I don’t know what to do
CARtastrophe365 yeah I thing I noticed after replace the battery when I closing the window on driver side let said it’s already up and if you keep pressing that button the headlight dims a bit and with the old battery didn’t do it so I don’t know I’m guessing it’s the starter to falling out today the car start at the first tried parked for a few minutes when I got to work so then went to the car to start it up and it won’t the second tire it started right up
CARtastrophe365 just to give you an update I got out from work start the car fine and went to the shop rite to buy some stuff and when I came back car won’t even start nothing even call my friends and we tried jump start wouldn’t do anything so we tied the car with some chains to get it right where I work so I check with voltage miter the battery so everything I. There seems normal new battery so even I check it again voltage was like 12.6 or 7 it’s was good so we tried a lot like to start the car nothing I hit the starter would’ve do anything first trie you kinda Hear the motor spin but the second tried nothing at the end just getting click and after that nothing so I willl try to replace tomorrow’ I will see if I can get it out from underneath I know it will hard but don’t have that lots of money to get a good one just wanna get it back to running 🏃
This video actually looks easy but man im trying to do this the easiest way lol and its a one time thing im trying to find a video to do it from the bottom but i cant seem to find it. 🤷♂️
You can do it, remove the intake bracket and the knock sensor. Its tough but you can get the bolts out and pull the starter down while it is still connected to the harness. Then remove harness, put harness on the new unit, kinda hanging it up while you're connecting everything, sneak it back into place. Good luck!
Ty brother much love man i am going to try reguardless i saw a video on a1 auto for the crv 2002 looks cake but man remember thats lifted on a lift im doing this backyard style jacked up as high as i can I literally learned from your video through the top and im confident to do it but bottom look easier just removing that splash guard only reason i looked for the video was bc you mentioned lmao that you used to do it and im like lets learn both ways lol but man ty so much man you actually helped me alot to learn man good shit. I am subscribing & definitely going to continue learning from your channel brother 🤘🏻💯💯💯💯
Today i start on the car and hopefully finish i been watching mad videos honestly im going to try your way looks better than being uncomfortable under the car and plus looks much easier instead of risking breaking the knock sensor
@@nightmaremike1092 yea top is the easier way to go, unless you plan on doing a bunch of these starters it doesnt pay to learn to do it from the bottom. Good luck, let me know how it goes! Thanks for all the kick ass comments man, have a good day!
I know. I've done then underneath without removing anything, I've also loosened the intake and done them from the top. This was what I thought was the best compromise between being straight forward and easy for a DIY'er to do, and also not take too long. Thanks for the comment!
@@CARtastrophe365 I was about to say, I almost SWEAR Ive done several of these from underneath lol. Im thinking im going to go at this next one the same way but perhaps not, now that I see how many people do them.
Why would you want to remove the entire air intake system just for a starter ? Its literally 2 bolts and a knock sensor and bam the starter is out. 30 minutes.
I'm with you, if you plan on doing them often it's a good way to go. Knock sensor comes out, fish the starter out the bottom. That super long bolt is a pain though, and finagling the starter out from the bottom is tedious, not to mention fastening the motor cable to it when it is loose. If you plan on doing very few of these then taking the intake off is the easy way, takes a little longer (honestly only a couple minutes) but it's an easier learning curve.
@@bethnorris2350 just the body of the starter, you're trying to rattle the guts bit. Either unstick a bad brush, or rotate the motor rotor slightly and get a good circuit to connect.
I don't know how long I'll end up keeping my'02 CRV so I'm trying not to put too much $ into it. Amazon sells this type for only about $80, customer reviews are good. What do you think of going w/ this one? www.amazon.com/Electrical-SMU0416-31200-PPA-505-31200-PPA-A02-31200-PPA-A03/dp/B007Y87ZE0/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=2002+honda+crv+starter&qid=1579758388&replacementKeywords=starter&sr=8-1-spons&vehicle=2002-59-754------------&vehicleName=2002+Honda+CR-V&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyNDdQQzhWMTVIWlZCJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDUzOTE0SExCTFZRUjFKWUZGJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA3ODU5NTBTOVdFR1I2RVZCNVomd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl
