How long does it take to replace 1 jz starter? did anyone do it before? Also, do i need to replace the solenoid too, or just the motor if the car just clicks and will not start.

9 times out of 10 when you buy a replacement starter it will come with motor and solenoid. i'd just replace it all. why not?

starter isn't hard at all. on my 7M it took me about an hour and that was doing ALL the work from the top, which was a PITA!!!

well if you get a starter from toyota, pepboys, advanced auto, car quest your going to get the whole starter as a unit not little pieces that have to be put together its two 14mm bolts on the tranny housing then unclip the wiring harness.

A lil OT, but where can I get a 1jz starter? Interchangeable to anything?

Mine is doing the same thing. It just clicks over and over then eventually starts. It's pretty annoying.

Thanks guys. very helpfull. I spent the whole day trying to start the car yesterday. 12 hours later it started, it was 12.30 am ofcourse but at least something. Now it starts fine again. Also, it was giving me engine code 12 last night.

What year SC, I know it sounds stupid, but I'm just wanting to make sure. I just had my solenoid replaced and it is still acting up, so I'm going to just replace the whole thing, even though I was told all I needed was the solenoid.
