• Q: How to service and repair the starter motor on 2003 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: Start repair or service operations on the starter motor by removing the throttle body cover and the intake air connector followed by disconnection of the throttle body assembly from the intake manifold and removal of the intake manifold assembly. The starter removal process begins by removing two bolts securing it to the cylinder block followed by disconnecting the starter from the cylinder block and unclipping the starter connector before removing the nut and bolt to disconnect the starter wire and finished by unscrewing the bolt detachment of the engine wire protector from the starter. First install the engine wire protector onto the starter by tightening its bolt to 9.81 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 84 in.lbf). First attach the starter wire with a matching torque specification on its nut followed by connecting the starter connector and mounting the starter onto the cylinder block. After attaching the engine wire to the bolt position install the starter by fastening the bolts at 39 N.m (400 kgf.cm, 29 ft.lbf). Follow the starter installation with an intake manifold assembly and throttle body assembly connection before adding the intake air connector and accelerator cable and securing everything with the throttle body cover.
