[Fot] Toyota 4Runner Starter Motor

[Terry Stetler]

Typically about this mileage the Toyota starters will start to "click" instead
of "start".  I have rarely ever seen one that needed more than a new set of
copper contacts in the solenoid.  About $14 worth of parts.  At the previous
shop I worked for we repaired hundreds of them just this way, and they would
go another 100,000 miles.   The Denso starter is a very good piece of kit.  Of
course the dealer would always try to sell our customers a new starter for
$350+.  We made a lot of good long term customers because of this.
