07 Si Coupe already needs new starter?!

HondaIsKing · 12-10-2009, 03:22 PM

So my car has been hesitant to start lately. And as of this morning there is no engagement of the starter on the flywheel it just spins.

New starter going in the morning, however Im kinda PO'd. Like seriously this car is 3 years old and already needs a new starter?

Is it just me?

What did you hear when you tried to turn it over, I am having some issues right now.

Cliffs: cold weather

***GeezerSi*** · 12-10-2009, 04:34 PM

How many times/day on average do you start it?

damn, not lookin good for 07's.
i get my car back this month, after 1 year.
it was driven a couple times a month, but i've never
had a problem with starting.

07LX at first it started slowly w/ no noise.
Then it turned into a mettalic-like spinning.
Engine almost wanted to turn over but wouldn't except for occasion.
Then it just was like something was spinning but no gears catching.

Hopefully when I install the rebuilt one it will be fine.

BS_4banger · 12-11-2009, 07:58 PM

do you have any mods??? and cold weather will definitely affect the starting as well.

***vtecGOD*** · 12-11-2009, 08:01 PM

I used to work for Dominos Pizza delivery on my 06 FG1 R18
I turned the engine on and of more than 25 times per 5 Hour Shift
Never had any problems so far

Update: Replaced Starter, Replaced Battery. Still just spinning...flywheel has no chips.

PLEASE HELP

well that's solenoid. But that should be integral. So re-replace your starter with one that works.

My 07FA5 is doing the same thing... terrible scratchy sound (not a grind) with no crank. But, it will usually start with no problem on the next try. I was thinking of changing the starter too.

HondaIsKing, can you update me/us with your issue? Is the car starting properly now, or are you just living with it?

Teebo07si · 10-16-2010, 02:14 PM

i had mine replaced it froze engaged and i ended up chipping teeth off my fly wheel from trying to pop start it cuz i thought the starter was just dead 07 FA5 at appr. 60k
