  1. Maintenance and Service
    So I just bought a used 08 Honda Element a few weeks ago, and knew when buying it there was a coolant leak. The issue was that it needed an intake manifold gasket replacement, which I got replaced two days ago. Today I went to start my car, it didn't start and did not do a single thing. No...

    I'm driving cross country and had the starter died on my '06. While I have the tools, I lack the place to do the work currently. I'm in South Eugene currently, and would prefer as little towing as possible, so your recommendations are welcome!
  3. Problems & Issues
    My 08 EX 5AT AWD needs a new starter and ground wire, among other things. I'd like to refurbish the starter I have, but I am not that mechanically inclined. Might save it for later, but in the meantime I need my car to work now. I try to do OEM when possible, but Mitsubas are $$$ and hard to...

    Hi all, figured I’d give a quick post on my experience with replacing a 2006 starter. Mine started slow turning and eventually wouldn’t start every once in a while unless I tried 3-10 times over a few minutes. 220K mikes. I watched all the videos and read all the threads. My general consensus...

    2007 Element, took the key out and engine still running. Started smoking out of the alternator side, found a melted ground contact. Now the car won't start. Alternator seems okay. Battery has good voltage but when you connect both cables, no voltage is read. No visible fuse damage. Ignition...

    Hello Gents, My 2009 Honda Element EX with 202,000 miles is having starting issues. Forgive this long post but I am completely out of ideas and I want to give full context in hopes that it would help the experts here solve this problem. A little over a month ago, I was noticing my Element...
  10. Problems & Issues
    So here's what happened. I bought a power inverter and hooked it up to my front accessory socket, and it popped the 10 amp fuse under the drivers dash. I changed that. Then I tried to start my car and nothing happened. I know the battery is good and tested it on a multimeter. Getting 12 volts...

  14. Problems & Issues
    OK...my '04 E with 127,500 miles was having intermittent slow/sluggish starter issues. It actually mimicked a weak battery. The battery was 3 years old, so that was my first check. Although it didn't show bad, winter was coming on, I replaced it in a move to eliminate that part. As I said...

    Hi All, Made an account just to post about this issue I've been having with starting my car. I have an 07 Honda Element, just about 140,000 miles on it. About a year ago I replaced my original starter and alternator with Nastra refurbished parts. Since then, I've had to replace the...

Or if it did there was a slight hesitation before it connected. On Nov. 11 I had the battery replaced after...
  20. Under The Hood / Performance
    Hey fellow E owners! I just finished installing a starter in my 06 E (171K miles). I ran into some issues removing the bolts holding on the starter and was wondering if anyone else had the same issue? It took me over an hour to remove the bottom bolt! Other than that, and having to remove a...
