just to follow up and let all your subscribers to know; i just changed mine this morning. with your detail where everything is and needed to be removed. everything from set-up to clean up and the first test start (crank) took less than an hour and a half. could've shaved off a few minutes if i didn't struggle with the bolts trying to fit the new one in, not wanting the strip the thread. anyway, thank you again. your step by step explanation just makes life easier for everyone. keep up the good work.

Worked great for replacing my starter on my 2000 Camry! I've never done a major car repair, so it took a bit more than two hours. For newbies, word of advice: make sure you have the 14mm socket, because many socket wrench sets (especially the cheaper ones) don't have it. Make sure you have a socket wrench extension. Also, you'll need a 12 mm regular wrench to remove/tighten the power line bolt, as that's a super tight space. Last thing - make sure the air box cover clicks in in the back before tightening the latches on the front. Thanks again for a great video!
Great job! Your calm demeanor during this video inspires confidence. I have 140k miles on my 96 Camry and when the time comes to replace the starter I will refer back to this and tackle it myself. Liked and subscribed.

At the moment there are about three RUclips videos up dealing specifically with 97-01 Toy Cams, and this one is the best, because it shows everything from start to finish--granted the finish is just a review of what needs to be done to put everything back together. It's a relatively simple job, but if you're not a mechanic and you don't have much experience, this is quite important. Coupla things I learned that weren't mentioned: WD 40 helps, but not always. A breaker bar is VERY helpful if your bolts are stuck, especially for the bolt in the back side of the starter, because space is cramped so it's hard to get enough leverage. I got a breaker bar for $10 at Harbor Freight, which I figure is good enough, as I'm not a pro. I'll prolly never use it again unless someone tries to car jack me or something...lol!

Nice work good video. I texted you in a different video regarding the timing belt and a crank no start on a 1996 Toyota Camry le 4 cylinder. I replaced the timing belt, water pump, the hole distributor, rotor cap, spark plugs wires, the crankshaft sensor, the camshaft sensor which is the hole distributor, alternator belt and starter. Didn’t get the car to start am getting a crank and no start. I did everything to specs still no start. Any advice will very much help thanks for responding back to my previous text
glad I found this video! I have a 2000 camry where the starter is stuck to where even after I took car off it was making a whining soud! Had to disconnect the battery to make the starter stop! I am going to attempt this when the weather gets warmer here in NY!

Excellent video. Very well explained step by step instructions and easy to follow. Currently I have a 1998 Camry with 140K on the car. This morning I was trying to start it but the starter only click. After I came back from breakfast I jumped the car incase the battery wasn't charged. I tried to start it but only click once again. I waited for about a minute or so to start it but it cranked very little and clicked again. I remember my brother hitting a starter with a hammer on the starter bendix and it worked on the cars he worked on. So I did the same thing to the Camry starter and it worked. I hope that it will continue to work, but if it doesn't I will know how to replace to stater. Thank you very much for the video.

I literally just did this on a 99 V6. I did not remove the cruise control actuator. You can do this and work around those cables, but why deal with the aggravation? Also, my starter was stuck in place. Nothing a 2x4 and s hammer couldn't fix. Definitely a job easy enough for a diy'er and this video does an excellent job demonstrating what needs to be done. On a different note, you can order parts online and then pick them up 30 minutes later at your local parts store and save money. I used Advanced Auto. The starter was $115. You enter a code that they usually post on the top of the page, and I saved $25. Then there's a $25 core charge. The entire repair cost me under $100. So check your local auto part chain's website and you might be able to save some money. Anyway, awesome video!!

My symptoms are exactly the same as yours. However, sometimes it take 20 turns of the key. Lol. It’s much worse when it’s cold. . Although my battery voltage is low in the morning 12.1 volts, jumping it makes no difference. And rapping the starter with a crescent wrench seems to help. After I will replace the starter I will let you know if it fixes it. Thanks
Thanks for watching Michael, definitely sounds like a so-close-to-completely-failing-starter. Looking forward to hearing back from you after you replace it.
Mr. Rogers does auto mechanics.. actually, a great video..not sure you need to remove the cruise control actuator and I've seen some people get the starter out without removing the airbox or the battery..
May only need to replace the Solenoid if it is going CLICK CLICK with no motor spin and battery runs headlights on high fine. In a 1981 Toyota pickup I repaired a Solenoid. There are two copper metal contacts a conductive thing presses against when the Solenoid is activated. One of them was mostly worn away and the other was like new. So I put the like new one soldered to where the mostly worn out one was and made a new copper contact with metal from a water pipe and it worked fine after that. Original solder was very high temperature so I had to cut it.
Just took mine out. That was really easy. Didn't see any need to unscrew the cruise control actuator thing. There were two or three things from the air filter plastic case which clipped around it's cable but they just pushed off easy. Copper contacts in Solenoid looking mostly gone at least one of them. I will replace those. May the force be with you!

I need your help. Most of the times my car starts normally, but once in a while, once in about 5 times, the stater is spinning and mashing a slippery noise and it doesn’t engage, And then when I try again, one or two times, it works! I have tried different starters, and they all do the same thing, and then I have ruled out the stater as a problem and I now suspect something else like a relay, the ignition switch or other, causing the starter not receiving enough power maybe once in a while to deploy completely the pignon gear of the bendix to engage the big gear by the flywheel to crank the motor properly. Can that starter slipping and slipping turning noise be caused by not enough power getting it, making it turn but not fast enough to push the pinion gear completely out once in a while and therefore not engaging? But if it was the cause, why would it engage the next time or second next time? I have ran out of explanations, causes, reasons and ways to fix it, please somebody, help me out, thanks so much!
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. We appreciate you sharing your experience. Since you have ruled out the starter, let’s focus on other causes. It’s very possible that you have intermittent voltage coming out of your battery. If your battery is brand new, this is unlikely however if your battery is 5-10 years old, it’s more likely. By chance do you had any type of aftermarket electronics added to the electrical system since you have owned it? Examples would be: * New stereo system/speakers * New alarm system * New horn * New Aftermarket headlights or taillights These are just a few items that can cause spontaneous behavior within the electrical system if not installed 100% properly. These added items to the electrical system can possibly have loose connections or the wrong wiring installed. We recommend inspecting your starter relay and fuse inside your engine compartment in the fuse box. Any type of moisture, rust, or corrosion on the electrical leads can cause havoc to the electrical current. Please keep us posted, us DIY’ers need to stick together. 😎👍
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Is the starter brand new? If it’s brand new, you may have the wire connections reversed. Please keep us posted. 😎👍

Good morning ☕️ any update? You may need to use a larger ratchet and extension to get better leverage and a better position when loosening nut. You may also need to spray nut and bolts with PBlaster to weaken rust or corrosion buildup. Please keep us posted. Looking forward to 2024, many more helpful videos to come. 🧰
Question. Does this car also have a high rev after the battery is disconnected, so that it needs resetting? I’ve seen a couple of videos where they say this happens so that the car needs to “relearn” to idle?! Seems here you didn’t have to relearn to idle. I have a 92 Camry I bought and replaced the battery with a new one and was wondering if this is the case on it. Or perhaps it’s an IAC issue. It seems to have a starter issue, so I can’t even try to do the relearn cause it starts intermittently, I have to try it like 10 times.

Excellent video. Very well explained step by step instructions and easy to follow. Currently I have a 1998 Camry with 140K on the car. This morning I was trying to start it but the starter only click. After I came back from breakfast I jumped the car incase the battery wasn't charged. I tried to start it but only click once again. I waited for about a minute or so to start it but it cranked very little and clicked again. I remember my brother hitting a starter with a hammer on the starter bendix and it worked on the cars he worked on. So I did the same thing to the Camry starter and it worked. I hope that it will continue to work, but if it doesn't I will know how to replace to stater. Thank you very much for the video.

I literally just did this on a 99 V6. I did not remove the cruise control actuator. You can do this and work around those cables, but why deal with the aggravation? Also, my starter was stuck in place. Nothing a 2x4 and s hammer couldn't fix. Definitely a job easy enough for a diy'er and this video does an excellent job demonstrating what needs to be done.
On a different note, you can order parts online and then pick them up 30 minutes later at your local parts store and save money. I used Advanced Auto. The starter was $115. You enter a code that they usually post on the top of the page, and I saved $25. Then there's a $25 core charge. The entire repair cost me under $100. So check your local auto part chain's website and you might be able to save some money.
Anyway, awesome video!!

Great video! Right to the point and easily explained. Even with a slightly different layout I had no issue replacing the starter. It was actually a "relaxing" repair, if that's such a thing.

DIY With Michael Borders I have subscribed to your channel and am very impressed with the selection of videos and the vast selection of topics . I am curious if you have ever replaced a fuel pressure sensor on a 200 Camry ? Mine needs to be and I’m not having much luck finding information on it . And thank you for the compliment on changing out the starter , I honestly couldn’t have done it with out you !

My symptoms are exactly the same as yours. However, sometimes it take 20 turns of the key. Lol. It’s much worse when it’s cold. . Although my battery voltage is low in the morning 12.1 volts, jumping it makes no difference. And rapping the starter with a crescent wrench seems to help. After I will replace the starter I will let you know if it fixes it. Thanks
Thanks for watching Michael, definitely sounds like a so-close-to-completely-failing-starter.
Looking forward to hearing back from you after you replace it.
Mr. Rogers does auto mechanics.. actually, a great video..not sure you need to remove the cruise control actuator and I've seen some people get the starter out without removing the airbox or the battery..
Thanks for watching. 👍
May only need to replace the Solenoid if it is going CLICK CLICK with no motor spin and battery runs headlights on high fine. In a 1981 Toyota pickup I repaired a Solenoid. There are two copper metal contacts a conductive thing presses against when the Solenoid is activated. One of them was mostly worn away and the other was like new. So I put the like new one soldered to where the mostly worn out one was and made a new copper contact with metal from a water pipe and it worked fine after that. Original solder was very high temperature so I had to cut it.
Thanks for watching & sharing your experience. Sounds like you’ve been busy & learning a lot. Hope all is well.
Enjoy your night Fred. 😎👍🔧🔩
Just took mine out. That was really easy. Didn't see any need to unscrew the cruise control actuator thing. There were two or three things from the air filter plastic case which clipped around it's cable but they just pushed off easy. Copper contacts in Solenoid looking mostly gone at least one of them. I will replace those. May the force be with you!
It would help to update the year of the vehicle in the description.

Did you ever think of cleaning those battery posts?
If a starter is going bad..will it
1.need several turns to start?
2.will it engage spotter and stay tht way if key ignition is off?

Thanks for watching & we hope the video helped. It will do both actually. Once your Starter begins to lose your trust...it’s time to change it.

How many watts does the new starter have?
Does the bracket that is connected to the bottom bolt on the back of the starter need to be put back as well ?
Thanks for watching & we recommend reinstalling parts as they were prior to the replacement. With the new starter of course. 😎👍
I need your help. Most of the times my car starts normally, but once in a while, once in about 5 times, the stater is spinning and mashing a slippery noise and it doesn’t engage, And then when I try again, one or two times, it works! I have tried different starters, and they all do the same thing, and then I have ruled out the stater as a problem and I now suspect something else like a relay, the ignition switch or other, causing the starter not receiving enough power maybe once in a while to deploy completely the pignon gear of the bendix to engage the big gear by the flywheel to crank the motor properly. Can that starter slipping and slipping turning noise be caused by not enough power getting it, making it turn but not fast enough to push the pinion gear completely out once in a while and therefore not engaging? But if it was the cause, why would it engage the next time or second next time? I have ran out of explanations, causes, reasons and ways to fix it, please somebody, help me out, thanks so much!
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. We appreciate you sharing your experience.
Since you have ruled out the starter, let’s focus on other causes. It’s very possible that you have intermittent voltage coming out of your battery.
If your battery is brand new, this is unlikely however if your battery is 5-10 years old, it’s more likely.
By chance do you had any type of aftermarket electronics added to the electrical system since you have owned it? Examples would be:
* New stereo system/speakers
* New alarm system
* New horn
* New Aftermarket headlights or taillights
These are just a few items that can cause spontaneous behavior within the electrical system if not installed 100% properly.
These added items to the electrical system can possibly have loose connections or the wrong wiring installed.
We recommend inspecting your starter relay and fuse inside your engine compartment in the fuse box. Any type of moisture, rust, or corrosion on the electrical leads can cause havoc to the electrical current.
Please keep us posted, us DIY’ers need to stick together. 😎👍
Great video!!! But my starter stays engaged so it won’t crank, what am I doing wrong?!?
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Is the starter brand new? If it’s brand new, you may have the wire connections reversed.
Please keep us posted. 😎👍
Very usefull.

How much did you pay for a starter?
I couldnt get to the nut for the life of me and i cant get the starter bolts out. Can you recommend how to get the 14mm bolts off if they wont budge?
Good morning ☕️ any update?
You may need to use a larger ratchet and extension to get better leverage and a better position when loosening nut.
You may also need to spray nut and bolts with PBlaster to weaken rust or corrosion buildup. Please keep us posted.
Looking forward to 2024, many more helpful videos to come. 🧰
So I replaced my starter and my car makes no sound when I start it now.
Thanks for watching...are you saying it starts with no sound or it doesn’t start nor make any sound?
Question. Does this car also have a high rev after the battery is disconnected, so that it needs resetting? I’ve seen a couple of videos where they say this happens so that the car needs to “relearn” to idle?! Seems here you didn’t have to relearn to idle. I have a 92 Camry I bought and replaced the battery with a new one and was wondering if this is the case on it. Or perhaps it’s an IAC issue. It seems to have a starter issue, so I can’t even try to do the relearn cause it starts intermittently, I have to try it like 10 times.
