You didn’t tell us what you really thought of that guy. 😂
Did scotty really forget that starters make a choking sound when they're falling apart?
My daihatsu 20 yrs old still running like champ... small suv of daihatsu 2004
My 2013 Toyota Corolla was a rental car when I bought it in 2014.
Other than tires, oil, filters, wiper blades, brakes, and last year a alternator, it has been a great car.
Recently I checked and I got 37mpg on a tank of gas.
It just went over 404,000 miles too.
Quite impressive!
37😮😅
I have a 2013 Corolla too, just had to replace the alternator but yeah, same experience as you. I love that car. Then again I've only put 67k miles on it, so it better be running well! Paint and headlights look pretty terrible though, was about to put some body work into it before the alternator surprise lol
Nice! My Honda FIT gets 36 mpg at times.
3:44 “A little wiggling, a little swearing…” GOLD
😅😅
After changing the starter in my Corolla twice, i can give you this tip. Take out the fan and shroud ( its 2 bolts and a few clips). It makes changing the starter super easy with plenty of room.
If the intake gasket hasn't been changed its good time to put updated oem one in. Vast room to replace starter w/o getting on ground or jacking up car. Gasket is cheap.
This sounds like changing the starter on my Honda FIT. You have to remove the intake manifold to get to it.
Scotty is the best mechanic on youtube bar none!! Love Scotty baby!!
Thank you for the Matrix starter replacement instructions. The description does say it is an alternator problem.
Scotty is the best. I had a mechanic very much like Scotty when he retired I was at loss to find a good mechanic for a long time. Just following Scotty helps me not get ripped off. 6:46
ohhhhh I saw the part where he was holding a spanner to tap on the battery terminals. Never ever let a metal tool come into contact with both battery terminals - its amazing how quickly a spanner can glow red hot once it makes contact and shorts the battery
I did that when I was working for AutoZone replacing a battery.😂 Thankfully it just sparked a little and bounced off.
He disconnected the battery.
@@Winterstick549He tapped the socket wrench on the terminal to seat it after connecting. Sloppy practice, but hey it’s Scotty K
Hey Scotty, my kombi 1985 transporter, original starter lasted 500,000 klm , 30 years used every day city driving. The only thing wrong with it was the brushes. New brushes and still going strong. German quality.
I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever make another move regarding a decision on a vehicle without looking up Scotty first I bought a 2013 Toyota Tacoma in October of 2023 with 74,000 Mi I got over 135 in December it started chugging when I came to a stop sign and then the next day it would wouldn't start I would jump it it would run the next day I had to jump it again. So everybody told me it was my alternator and I took it to O'Reilly's and they told me it was my alternator. I didn't know yet that toyotas f you're emergency brake and battery light are on then it's your alternator. And then I ended up having to replace the battery a few daus later. so there you have it, how I learned the hard way and why I will never ever ever ever ever mak any decision about a vehicle without l researching Scotty's CZcams channel first❤
I didn't know Ozzy Osbourne can fix cars! Good work Ozzy. Say hi to Sharon for me.😊
Damn, I thought i was the only one that saw that
Who agrees that Scotty is the best CZcams mechanic?
Don't you have anything better to do?
@@desertstar223 Who are you?
He sure is. You can save alot of money 💰 with Scotty's advice.
Well there’s many great mechanics on CZcams who are my favorite beside Scotty? the guy in New York and the guy in Florida? Those are you that follow good mechanics know who they are ❤👍
@@oreally8605 Agreed!
Hi, Scotty I'm really pleased to let you know that polishing my windshield glass front window of my car eased my craziness with squeaky wipers. Thanks so much for this tip and I always watch you.
a fan.
We all know the Matrix didn’t break Scotty😂
Yup his cars never break lol 😂
His '94 Celica once thought about having a flat tire, but then decided against it.
It wasn't the matrix it was the celica starter. After 8 million miles the teeth finally wore out.
Iv never heard of a Toyota starter being replaced😁
@@katelynbarrysmith2489does that look like a celica to you😐
I have a 2000 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck with almost 247,000 miles on it. It still has the original starter on it, my mechanic is a lot like Scotty, very honest, he just replaced the starter contacts twice, said the starter otherwise was still fine. I think he charged me like $15 as it only took a few minutes to fix it both times.
Great watching Scotty put the starter on. I had starter go out many years ago on my 1995 Corolla. The power and lights got dimmer and dinmer. It finally stopped completely. My daughter was at a ROTC event at a school. I was in the country part of county. A fire truck took me to get my daughter. That was a different type of ride.
You should not leave some receipts in your glove box. Some receipts use thermal paper. Leave it in your car and it will redact the whole receipt
@@DarkForce2024I just scan and print the important ones
@DarkForce2024 yep, I worked for Walmart 7.5 years. That's the receipt I was thinking of.
Hey Scotty haven't seen you since yesterday when you quit CZcams 😂😂😂
Sniff . . well . . OK I had a dream . . this vision was well encompassed
@@benwinter2420 He's mad as hell
😅
Nice to see you up north again. Good to see the Yamaha looking ready to play.
My '88 Camry starter solenoid is original. Had same issues, took apart and cleaned contacts in the solenoid. Then it worked again!
@@harveyhankerson8359 Yes, they are easy to fix once you figure them out. Great quality. Almost everything is fixable unlike some of the throw junk in other manufactures.
Great tutorial, especially the reiteration of disconnecting the battery.
Do they still take a core deposit on starters and alternators?
I'm a widow and you have answered questions for me in email form and your videos help me so much! Thank you so much! I see what you do. 🙏🏼
The good news Scotty has at least 17 more years with us.
Methuselah lived to be in his 900's. There is hope. 😊
If he give us another 10 we’ll be good
My 20 year old saturn has never had the starter replaced, still the original starter surprisingly. Ive heard bad about saturns, but mine has been pretty decent. 191k miles and still running like when i got it, which wasn't running bad when i bought it either, burns 1/2-1 qt every 3k miles. Ive replaced pretty much every suspension part, oil every 3k miles, and filters ofc every so often as well.
Scotty would never dare change a starter that is under the intake manifold.
You mean like on a Lexus V8? Hmmm, Scotty has a Lexus.
Scotty,.. you are the man. Straight to the point,.. great advice as always.
@@chrislj2890yeah but it’s a v6
I’d like to see him do one 😂 maybe in a few more years or maybe more like 10+ on his son’s truck lmao
@@BobTheHatKing
Good thing, heh?
"Don't buy a car a bunch of people have had". Apply the same rule to relationships.
😂😂😂😂 also 😢😢😢😢
I found out this girl I was dating was like the village bicycle, everyone has had a ride.❤

@@tommyagain38 funny and sexist love it.
@@tommyagain38🤣🤣🤣
I replaced the starter on my 2005 vibe it took me about 15 minutes and i didn't have to get under the car. Easiest starter ive ever replaced
Take the fan should off . 2 bolts and 1 electric plug. The starter is right there
I have a 94 Lexus ES300 that I totally love! It’s simple to work and do maintenance. Recently had to replace the 2nd alternator after 305,000 miles on the clock. Not a bad deal with this many miles and original engine 👍
How many miles on the tranny?
Now my Peugeot 107 has an issue over the last year of starting if I didn’t use the car for a few days. People said it was the starting motor since I put a new battery in it. So this video is very helpful for me! 🎉
Also apparently a lot of the time, just the starter solenoid fails and can be replaced without touching the starter motor
Thank you very much for your videos Scotty!
17 years and ONLY had to replace starter? (Humble brag)
Love all your videos and the fact your very explain everything step by step and make everything DIY so much better than having a shady mechanic rip you off
Now he has an opportunity to upgrade to a Honda!!!!
He can get one of those 1.5 turbo Honda Civics with the earth dreams engine 👍👍👍
@liferx4343 well if you talk like that I guess you have never owned a Honda but yeah I guess you're right it would be a major upgrade I mean it would be better for him to get the 2.0 naturally aspirated motor that's the one I would go with instead of the 1.5 Turbo like Toyotas doing with their trucks if it goes with the 1.5 Turbo I would agree it wouldn't be an upgrade but if he goes with the 2.0 naturally aspirated it's definitely an upgrade
I just had to replace the starter on my 2008 Toyota Matrix Xr. The original starter lasted 221,000 miles and 16 years. Not bad.
My radiator fan went bad on my '05 Corolla so I replaced it and a few weeks later my starter went out. Since I was familiar with removing the fan and it gave more working room I pulled the fan back out. Unfortunatly when I was pulling the starter out I nicked the radiator fins and created a small leak. DOH! Well, after buying a new radiator I put it all back together.
That generation Corolla is simply the best. 275K+ miles and that's been the most work I've had to do on it, and I'm terrible with maintenance.
condolences 😔
Never bang on the battery terminal. It will cause the seal to leak and acid come out. Use a terminal expander.
I couldn't believe my eyes when Scotty started hammering on that battery post!!⚡🤷
Use the hammer to bang bang on the battery terminal Scotty 😮
Thanks Scotty I'm the guy with a 2 pound key chain. Good advice keeping the weight off of the ignition switch. 👍
I try to buy oem parts for my car when i can, built much better then the garbage parts from auto parts store, why go through the hassle of replacing even if it has a life time warranty? time is money
Agreed the original lasted 17 years and that’s not good enough? I keep my Corolla all OEM Toyota that’s the reason I bought it for durability plus made in China or South Korea or Thailand parts well you get what you pay for, and a reman Toyota starter is not much more
The thing with leaving receipts in the car is I’ve had too many turn all black. Heat sensitive paper.
I see the FJR sitting pretty in the back round, I love my 06 FJR, safe riding Scotty🏍️💨💨💨
Scotty - I just traded in my 2006 Monte Carlo. 18 years old & still had the original starter. I guess GM's aren't as bad as you think.
BTW - Looks like you finally got the meaning of "my & I'm" correct!
My Toyota need alternator replacement after 350k miles. Just amazed that it needs so much mileage to get broken. For the first time I go to a workshop smiling before and after
Scotty back in action from Rhode Island.
that's all she Rhode
One day in Rhode Island the next day in Tennessee...we can't keep up with him.
Too funny!!
Toyota engineering is usually better than the rest but I just can't figure why they put the starter motor for the V-8s that were used in the LS400/430/460, the Tundra or the Land Cruiser under the intake manifold? The only thing I can think of is that there must have been one former Mercedes engineer on the design team.
Scotty is right about the keys in you ignition,i have 3 cars and i only use the single key to start each car never a heavy ring of keys hanging from my key ring.
EV breaks its a $30,000 new battery.
Toyota breaks its a starter motor less than $100 to fix 😂😂
Bruh you ever have a v6 Toyota 3.5 and need a new water pump gasket get ready to buy a 12 pack and spend the next 2 days rethinking life it’s THAT BAD to replace, take it to a shop they charge almost 700 😂
@@zappedbylife7058 Yeh, it would be about $100 where I live.
We need more this. You working on cars and instructional videos like this. Less bashing of car company videos.
You learn something new every day. today I learned, mechanics from time to time might swear. I never knew that, now I do.
1:25 scotty did a video a while ago about why we should never use jumper cables. Lol
🤫 shhh You are not supposed to remember that 😮
No, he said don't jump from a running vehicle.
Up down, top bottom, jack it up, universal on an extension, etc! Total PITA working on anything late model. In the OLD DAYS we could swap a starter with 2 tools within 2 or 3 moves...
Scottie I wish you were my next door neighbor!
Finally a repair video!🎉🎉👍💛
Bought a used Camry because everyone said they were the most reliable vehicle. It ran great for a month, and suddenly now it doesn't start. I replaced the battery, the starter, cleaned the grounds, tested connections and it still won't even try to turn over. Sending to the shop tomorrow.
Do you get power to your instrument cluster?
Fusible link
@@frankolsen2248 Please elaborate?
Main fuses. Try to search after fuses Toyota.
@@frankolsen2248 All fuses and relays are good. The shop said they fixed it by replacing the battery cables. Now I'm in the hole $450 for repairs and towing. I won't let a relatively simple fix like that cost me so much again.
Besides maintenance, replacing a starter was the first thing I ever did to fix a car, 1979 olds starfire gt.
Thank you,Scotty for the information regarding the starter.
Normal person when their car won't start: "Damn it all to hell."
Scotty: "Sweet. More video content."
My Echo’s starter went about the same time. Just about the same procedure including getting the plastic connector off.
I see you still have the engine cover. Thought you despised them . MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!
I see that Airborne tag. Hooah
Now I am wondering if the starter on my17 year old Chevy is getting close to the end of its life.
I learned on a Nissan frontier to test starters before installing them because of a bad set of 4 of them from carquest, on the bright side i learned to take the intake manifold off and reinstall it in 17min.
In ny state, if you transfer registration from one car to another there is no record. Ny state only records 2nd owner if there is a new license plate.
Why did you not buy the starter from Toyota, you always suggest OEM
No he doesn’t
@@MarkSmith-js2pu he sure does
Lifetime warranty
Another way to test battery is with a multimeter connected to the battery. When you start the car, if the voltage shown on the multimeter drops below 8 Volts, then its time to replace the battery unless proved otherwise.
So I drive a toyota corolla 2004 and I just changed the knuckle and axle from the driver side and for some reason it makes a roaring sound when turning left any help please??
Yes. I have had that happen many times. You have a bad wheel bearing. I bought both front wheel bearing hub assemblies for $43 on ebay.
Scotty: “I don’t advise buying a V8 Lexus because:
Numero Uno: If the starter goes out you have to take the intake manifold off and 1/2 the engine off
to get to the stupid thing.” “Now…that’s not a reason not to buy a V8 Lexus…or is it”!
“Now I’m confused”! 😂😂😂😂😂 Pure Gold…..I love it!
That battery terminal has seen better days. I'd clean both + and -.
Denso starters usually only need an internal copper contact - looks like a big penny. You could make one when you had the thick copper.
Hey Scotty, you should've shown them to "tap" the darned thing w/ a hammer, to get it to work if you're in a "tight-spot", just (hopefully) ONE MORE TIME.........../// You know, and most of us know this or solenoid.
Sorry to hear Scotty, you should get a new Lexus as a channel car!
Hey Scotty, my 2000 Corolla still has the original starter. 24 years..
Honda city. Same. Just the window riser mechanism and now some of the rubber gaskets near the wheels (I am NOT a car person) are starting to go. Hope we don't have to buy a new vehicle though. At least not before sanity comes back to D.C. (It's going to be a long wait...)
The starter in my 07 Taurus is easy to get to but it's directly under the oil filter. Every oil change it gets dripped on and eventually kills it. Not the best design 🤔
Starter went bad on an old hyundai h1. Would crank but very slowly. Had the right amound of voltage on the battery and at the cables at the starter.
New starter motors were very expensive in Norway. More expensive than what the vehicle was worth😂 Took the starter out and replaced the brushes within it, which I got for free at a local garage. After that it started right up and starter sounded healthy
4:21 Scotty with his crack out😂
Well that's good to hear. Got a 2016 Subaru Forester today for 18k in monopoly(CAD) money. It had one previous owner and was regularly serviced by Subaru. I didn't let them fleece me into the $4,500+ extended warranty though. I'll just keep taking care of it like it has been. I won't regret that, probably.
I put a wireless phone charger into my Colorado, next to the ignition and it prevented the truck from starting. Had to move it farther away.
Been watching Scotty for years, learning a lot about his advices. That's why I bought my Civic and I am haply with it ❤
I put a starter on my Maxima twice some years back. Crazy thing is it worked and I never did any other real mechanic work.
Scotty is top dog fixing auto’s
Thanks for the helpful information
Beauty cover still on the engine. 🤣
Classic Scotty!
Scotty, at the two minute mark you surprised me, you went right to replacing the starter. You didn't bring up another potential issue, corroded connections at the starter itself. I've ran into that one myself numerous times over my 55 years of working on my own vehicles. (common in North East Ohio) Sigh...
Do not tap the battery terminals.
There could be oxidation and loss of conductivity in apparently well tightened connectors. Happened to me once on an old car. Rare but…
I'm surprised he didn't put an actual Toyota starter on instead of a O'Reilly brand.
Cause he can take it back lol
Changed a 99 Sentra starter took 4 hours to get out 10 min for the new one. 😅😅
Changed starters in about every car I've owned but the 2009 Honda Civic was the worst. Buried on backside of engine with no room for working. Did it outside in cold weather. Big mistake, never again.
In the early 90s when I was a student I managed to drive around for more than a year in a little Honda civic 5 speed manual without a starter motor, I just parked the car on a hill and released the brake with the car in 2nd gear and the ignition to on and it started, when I released the clutch you cant do this with any Automatic, to this day this is one of many reasons why I still own and drive MTF cars
Scotty having problems with my Toyota Tarago engine light on losing rev's when in drive or reverse?? Plz help
Wonder if Sears will give me new shocks for my Pontiac. They are lifetime guarantee, but the receipt faded to nothing
Much easier to access than my starter....You have to take the wheel off and have it jacked up off the ground to get to it. I sure hope it never goes out. 🤣😂🤣
Scotty getting his core charge back lol!
Warranties are for MANUFACTURER DEFECTS. NOT WHEN YOU USE IT FOR YEARS AND THEN BRING IT BACK.
I bought a 2009 Pontiac Vibe (A Toyota Matrix component wise) and am quite pleased with it's performance thus far. I had to put nearly $ 3K into it, but feel confident the worst is behind me.
Where I'm from we have wireless power lines
Scotty you're the best !! God bless you.
I have an 03 matrix. If the dome light is crooked the car wont start at all nothing.
I had a case where my battery was bad and even though my next door neighbor helped jump start my car the car still did not want to start.
Great Channel , I heard that Tesla Y are very reliable and also out sell Toyota corolla in world wide sales ? Support USA auto?
