- This is my overview of how to replace a starter from a 2012 2.4L Hyundai Sonata, but I'm sure the procedure is the same for all 2.4 sonatas.
Hope it helps!!

This video seems to be the only good one I could find walking you through how to remove the starter from the top. My car was on a hill and I couldn't jack it up so this video 100% saved me, thank you!
Glad it helped
So so much easier underneath "if you have a lift"! Take my word for it I've done quite a few of these in my shop.
Thanks for the video. I replaced my starter this week and paid just $92 for the part. The last time I took it somewhere to get it replaced, they charged me $675. If anyone removed all the bolts mentioned and the manifold still wouldn’t budge, it’s because there are two additional bolts- one on the left side and one on the right side of the manifold which are not mentioned here that you will need to remove. One of mine was way too tight, literally the very last bolt I had to remove in this entire process. I ended up stripping that and it took me about four hours to finally get it out in that very tight space. Once I had the starter in it was very quick to put everything back together. Thanks again, you saved me a fortune.
Just did this exact method to replace the starter on my 2011 sonata. Really appreciate the video, helped me get it done right around 2 hours, maybe a little less. Seemed a lot more daunting watching, but once I was out there I got it knocked out. Anyone wondering if you need to pay a mechanic or do this yourself, definitely recommend doing this yourself. Saved me $300
Thanks for doing this video! Used this approach and another video to replace the starter lever in a 2012 Hyundai Sonata. The part itself cost about $8 plus shipping and you helped me and my family save A LOT of money when we didn't have extra to be spending! I'm a novice mechanic, if I could use that term, but your advice was easy to follow and I'm back up and running.
I don’t get why people like taking the starter from the bottom ??? My dad always said make space to work better. Great video
That’s is exactly how I feel.
Facts Brother Word To The Pops
Absolutely lovely video. I was having to replace a 3rd starter ( finally just spent the few extra bucks for the OEM part, won't do that again) and did it from the bottom the last times. This is a million times easier to do and really isn't all that much extra prep. Saved me tons of time actually getting to the starter (and being able to see what the hell I was doing was so freaking nice).
Glad it helped
Hell yea helped a lot
Used this video to replace the oil pressure sensor switch. It saved me hours in the driveway. Thanks
Glad it helped
Great video, probably the best explainer in replacing the Starter motor.
If you removed the explanation about the fuel line/injector your vid would be under 4min
Thank you for this method. We live in an apartment complex and couldn't really do a lot of work from under the car. This took me about 2 hrs from start to finish replacing that lever in the starter. Just wanted to say thanks for a good and useful video
I'm glad I was helpful!!
Thanks so much for the great video. The process was virtually the same for my 2009 Rondo that has the same Theta II engine. A couple of pointers on the Rondo in case anyone else happens across this: The fuel rail is attached to the manifold on mine, so I had to detach the fuel line (two nuts) with a 10mm deep well socket. I also had to loosen the two 12mm bolts holding the lower bracket to the engine block in order to reattach the manifold. Letting the bracket sag 1/8" or so made all the difference. Thanks again!
Thanks for the tip, Glad I could help!
A different approach was to work from under the car to replace the starter which requires jacking up the car in my garage, using jack stands and laying on my back. Not an enjoyable way to work on my Sonata. Love this replacement from above concept. Looks like a bit more work but I've removed all the air intake components before so got that down. Not a big deal at all. Also did a throttle body cleaning before too so that's an easy removal too. Guess I see how easy it is to remove the intake manifold but doesn't look too scary. Great detailed video. Thanks.
Just about to do a 2012 Sonata... And at my age I was dreading going under, cold cement and all. So thank you!
Glad I could help!
Great explanation, I was worried I'd have to take the fuel line and injectors until I came across this video. I used your video on a 2012 Kia Optima to replace the starter and it saved me about 400 bucks in labor cost with only two hours of relatively easy work. Thanks
Glad I could help.
you just made my life a whole lot easier. thank you so much for this vid. short to the point well explained. im going to have to come back anytime i do work on my car. to see if youve posted about it
AS A FORMAL HYUNDAI TECH THATS THE WAY WE DO IT AT THE SHOP WITHOUT LOOSENING THE FUEL LINES
Dude, great instructional video. I'm going to try it this weekend. Thanks!
Great video thank you bro you saved me a bunch of money
If anyone else is doing this make sure when you're putting the intake back on, to put the bolts on the underside in first. I had the top ones in and couldn't line up the holes with the bracket on the underside so had to take all bolts out and start again from the bottom. Also be careful with disconnecting the wiring harness for the starter! Cracked it and had to connect it raw dog without the connector. I just electrical taped it snug into place and it was good.
Awesome video. This is the only way to get to the starter. Accessing the starter from underneath, like a lot of the other videos suggest, doesn't look fun even if you have a lift. I had all the room in the world. I also replaced the intake manifold and throttle body gaskets while I was in there. Thanks for your help Falcon.
Glad I could help!
Great video!! First one that I’ve seen that gives you step by step instructions 😊
Thanks, worked for me, I did have to disconnect fuel line in 2009 model
Glad I could be of some help
2017 Hyundai Sonata SE intermittent hard starts. Car sounded like low battery but all the lights and radio was on no dimming. I would for about a month go to start the car and something like 4 times it wouldn't start, it would half turn over the starter then after 5 or 6 tries it would turn over enough to start the car. I did early on check the voltage of the battery but not the Amps and over all health of the battery.
Okay 2 weeks later after replacing the starter i experienced the same thing it wouldn't start exactly like before. This probably needs to be in all CAPS!!!! CHECK YOUR BATTERY!!!! I bought a battery and it starts up fine now. Hopefully that is all my issues but now might be a good time to trade it in.
My old starter died no discerning noise dead dead luckily it was in my garage and not where I was having issues starting it (61st and Lewis a mile away from a rough part of Tulsa, lookup 61st and Peoria they film whole seasons of First 48 around there). I had covid and the flu three weeks ago and stopped off at the cvs to get rapid tests and that cvs was the only one that had them. It died in the garage and I felt too much like crap to care.
I checked my battery with an ohms meter and volt wise it was fine. CCA cold cranking amps if your battery is old or damaged it may not have that umph to turn the starter fast enough. If it's damaged and/or old the current it sends to the starter can weld the parts of the starter and can destroy your starter.
I did have to replace my starter because it was toast but, if you're looking this video up and in a situation like mine get your battery tested first it could just be a aging battery that needs to be replaced.
Dude! Great instructional video. Pretty sure the starter in my 2011 Sonata is shot. I'm going to try it this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes.
Dude, it went great! Took me about 3 hours. A ton if work getting the intake back in. But hey, it starts right up and mission accomplished. Thanks for a great video!
Hey much thanks , though it's easier to get to the starter from the undercarriage area.... Just need strong arms to keep in the air while removing.
Thanks for the good video, but I just removed the radiator fan and had access from there.
Also I would ask you about these some refurbished and new starters (But
not original) for selling on EBAY price between $66-$75. Do you think
are containing same breakable plastic lever inside it ? I heard somebody
telling they made it metal.Any idea Please!
from ebay they are probably still plastic pieces ..
I would go with one from a parts store before going ebay just because you have"somebody" to complain to if something goes wrong
Nice video I really like being able to see the starter location with the intake removed. I accidentally removed the bolt above the two starter bolts. Any idea what that connects to?
It was probably a bolt to the transmission. I saw this comment the other day and did my starter this afternoon I was looking for a bolt close to the top starter bolt. It looked like it was the transmission bellhousing and was a silver bolt? The 2 starter bolts on mine where black.
i agree probably the bolt between the transmission and the engine ..
i found it easier to go from the bottom but great video man
Cool, thanks
And quicker.
Wonderful
The dealership just quoted me $700 to replace this part. Rosen Hyundai in Algonquin don't ever go there.
Hey man thanks for the video . I undo 6 bolts (4 on top 2 under the intake) but still not moving ! What am i missing?
Tony Adams there is 5 on the intake (3 bolts and 2 nuts). And 2 on the bottom of the intake (on the bracket). Pause the video at 4:11 and you can see the 5 top bolts/nuts
Falcon's Garage i appreciated man . Have the same issue trying to get it done from top of the engine .
Tony Adams where you missing that middle bolt?
Falcon's Garage yes i did the buttom on from under the car so easy . Mine is right hand drive (Australia version) also have steering wheel hydraulic on the left side
I tried it on mine and I could not get the manifold off. I don't know what I missed. I had to jack the car up and take off the shields and go in from the bottom. This was the hardest starter I have ever put on. I have never seen a shroud with so many bolts in it. I hope I never do another one.
oh man. i wish you would had shine a light into those intake valves to see if theres any carbon build up!!
good job
Thanks!
It is easier and quicker doing it from under the engine. No risk of damaging gaskets for throttle body or manifold, or any coolant line.
some of these models have a rod on the bottom that is in the way.
HELP SOMEBODY PLEASE! I need my started replaced on my sonata. I took it to my trusted mechanic and they priced it at $930! For the starter and the gaskets. Can someone please tell me if I should be paying this much?!? 😭😭
It all depends on what the labor rate or a mechanic goes for in your city. But IMO 930 seems a little excessive
any problems with getting air in the high pressure fuel line
not really just make sure you aligned it up
Thanks, but finding the bolts to the intake was a pain. It would have been nice to point those out in detail. Would have saved me a bunch of time.
Brian Arntzen thanks for the feedback. I'll keep hat in mind for the next video.
Falcon's Garage still looking actually. How many bolts total?
Brian Arntzen did you get the 2 bolts on the bottom of the intake?
Brian Arntzen at the 4:09 mark you can see they are 3 bolts and 2 nuts from the intake to the head. And they are 2 12mm bolts on the bottom of the intake holding it to a bracket. But it is all in the video
Thank you! I just got it out. I just have missed something. Overall great video. Gonna save me a bunch of money. Replacing the lever now😊
I cannot get the intake manifold off. So it’s just 3 on top one on either side and the two on the bottom? Mine will not budge. 2014 Hyundai sonata. Hyundai, for future put starters more accessible so I don’t have to tear the whole damn car apart!
have to do this for my mom. glad i dont have to go under.
hey hi i have 2009 sonata and when i turn it on let it sit it makes noise like when u tryna start while car on while.its runing noise could that be low.trani oil when i put in reverse it does it as well was wondering if u ever had that happen to u im.kinda scared turn car on
if you can hear it more when the transmission is engaged .. yeah check your oil
Look this is old but need help just did this and everything went smooth. However now I have put everything back on and double checked everything and when I crank the car it’s revs up to about 4 rpm and won’t stop sounds like it’s going to blow. Please help if have any idea
like it turns on and it revs by it self? or it never turned om?
Hunter, was it a vacuum leak and did replacing gaskets help? I’m running into the same issue right now.
@@TheTriggermMaxx after taking everything out and putting it all back in once again I found that I had a vacuum leak I was missing one of the bolts on top. And I never replaced gaskets. I started to but after doing that it fixed.
Appreciate the video as I wanted to do the job from above since I don’t have a lift. The video could have been a little more detailed but it got the job done I just hope I remember to hook everything up right when I put it back together lol. On a side note this car is a complete POS and I will never buy another Hyundai the rest of my life. Steering plastic piece broke on me , motor shot @ 83k miles and it’s a complete nightmare to do the simplest repairs ( rear breaks and rotors last week). I think this job would be terrible if done on the ground on jack stands so thanks again.
Can you tell me where the intake actuator is located??
Great video. Easy top side removal. Simple thinking people might see it to complex but it beasts fighting from the bottom. Stupid people like fight n from the bottom
did you have to replace the 4 gasket? or u just reused the old ones?
I left the old ones on because had replaced them not too long ago, but if you never done it they should be replaced
Replace for sure. Napa and Autozone had to order it. But the dealer had it on hand $45 bucks for the 4 manifold gaskets and the throttle body gasket. I'm at 100,000 miles and noticed some of the manifold gaskets appeared to be leaking a little
I made the mistake of not replacing the manifold gaskets the first time, and I had to take it all apart again when it leaked. Locally, O'Reilly's was the only parts place that had them in stock. $11.
Falcon's Garage Thanks you
mikek115 Thank you
Took all the bolts and nuts off but how do you pop the intake off? It wouldn't move.
Eric Wells did you take off the 2 bolts on the bottom of the intake?
The ones from the lower bracket?
Same here. I can't reach center bolt to remove it. Is it holding the intake manifold?
In the video the guy counts 6 bolts, but I just can see 5! Where is the damn one I am missing...
Same problem here
I used 4 extensions to get the center top bolt out of the intake manifold. So there are two nuts that you can see up top, a bolt on each side of the manifold, the center bolt, and the two bolts hiding below. on the top of the bracket. Don't forget to change out your intake manifold gaskets (there are 4) and the throttle body gasket.
Will be doing this for 90 dollars in about 2hours ..lol is that reasonable
This engine has a VCM unit ?
dont think so
@@FalconsGarage Asked because on years with VCM, the VCM may be tricky to remove and it's attached to the intake manifold
How long did the job take
1-2 hours
I was quoted $705.00 to replace the starter from a local mechanic. I have the same vehicle in the video. 2012 Sonota. They charged me for three hours labor. Is that a fair price?
seems little high .. but it all depends on the mechanic hourly rate where you live.
Why wouldn’t you edit out you, from 2:25 to 2:58, removing the high pressure fuel line?! 😭 At 4:15 he realizes he did NOT need to loosen it.
On my LS 5.3 the HP fuel lines should be replaced ANY time they’re removed and or loosened. Same for all vehicles?
Your video shows 16299s as the part number from Advance... Advance states this starter does NOT fit my 2012 Sonata Limited with 2.4 engine??
not sure what to tell you .. this is the one they sold me and it fit like a charm .. and no issues on the car .. never came back for the same problem
Hello, I replaced my starter at a mechanic shop, but now my car is using too much gas after the starter replacement any ideas what can be wrong? It’s only getting like 13 Mpg. This issue started right after they replaced the starter. Thank you
honestly a starter has NOTHINg to do with furl economy .. might have other issues
Going to attempt this myself, is there any danger disconnecting that fuel line, is there any in it?
NO NEED TO DISCONNECT THAT LINE.
if you look after i removed the intake I noticed that there was NO NEED to remove that line.
Good luck with the project!
haha thanks, i missed that! that's odd. looks like there's threading on the pipe. i have good jacks but i hate getting under the car, especially if i have to manuver around parts and move wires and tubes and such. This method looks like it'll take some time but less hassle!
Don't disconnect the fuel line as the video says. You don't need to.
Tee thanks! I'm gonna try to go that route on a 2015, hope that's still possible👍
So I just replaced one for my friend but the starter is starting before I turn key all the way and when shifting into gears the starter and flywheel are grinding. Is it possible the bad starter damaged the flywheel? Someone help
That's odd. Starter motor is only used once in the process of starting up the engine (it was invented to replace the hand cranking method to start the engine) and thus would never ever be used again once the engine is running. When you turn the key in the ignition switch it sends 12V to the starter motor to assist in turning the flywheel then when the engine fires up turn the flywheel faster than the starter motor, the starter motor deactivates. No shifting of gears was ever involved.
is it doesn't even need to jack up the car?
not if your taking off the intake
Looks like a pain. Had my mechanic do it while I was in the pool
Cant get it off pleeeeaseeee heeeelppp
Where are you stuck?
Falcon's Garage tryinng to get the intake out
Falcon's Garage i alresdy took out the 2 bolts at the bottom and the nuts on the side , i dont know what else am missing
did you get all the nuts and bolts that go from the intake to the head?
Falcon's Garage yep i wish i could send u a picture , its weird i took all the nuts and bolts and still doesnt come off
Bottom method is way way faster
lol
