Denso 280-0324 Starter

Denso Reman Starter for Honda and Acura

The Denso 280-0324 reman starter is a 12-volt, clockwise-rotation starter built for select Honda Civic and Acura EL applications. It is remanufactured to restore factory-style cranking performance with OE-level electrical testing and replacement of wear components.

Built on Denso OE starter technology, the Reman Starter line focuses on consistent starting performance, reduced electrical resistance, and dependable operation in hot or cold conditions. The 280-0324 is a practical choice for drivers looking for a remanufactured starter for Honda Civic or Acura EL models with manual transmission.

Key Features

• 12.0-volt starter with clockwise rotation
• 1.0 power rating for OE-style starting output
• High-voltage tested armature and field coils
• Refinished commutators with performance validation
• Premium copper terminals for stable current flow
• All-new bearings, brushes, and seals
• Bench-tested before release for factory-original performance

Detailed Product Overview

Denso remanufactured starters are rebuilt using a controlled test-and-replace process that addresses the electrical and mechanical wear points most often associated with starter failure. For this application, the Denso 280-0324 is engineered to deliver strong cranking torque and reliable engagement while maintaining the compact size and weight expected from Denso OE starter design. This part cross-references Bosch SR1321X for the same application.

Compatible With 2001 Acura EL, 0.8 kW, except GX, manual transmission; 2002-2005 Acura EL, 0.8 kW, manual transmission; and 2001-2005 Honda Civic, 0.8 kW. If you are replacing a worn starter on a Honda Civic or Acura EL, this reman unit provides a direct-fit solution for the listed vehicles and configurations.

What It Helps Fix

• Slow or weak engine cranking
• No-start conditions caused by starter wear
• Intermittent starting after repeated key cycles
• Electrical resistance from worn terminals or internal components
• Starter noise related to worn bearings or brushes

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, engine configuration, and manual transmission application before installation. Confirm the original starter’s rotation, voltage, and mounting style match the Denso 280-0324. Inspect battery condition, cable integrity, and charging-system output during replacement to avoid repeat starting issues.

Quality Assurance

Denso reman starters are processed through high-voltage testing, component replacement, commutator refinishing, and final bench testing to confirm operating performance. The Denso 280-0324 is backed by Denso’s OE engineering background and remanufacturing controls used to support consistent starter quality.
