Remanufactured Starter for Toyota Applications

Detailed Description

MPA Electrical 16218 is a remanufactured starter for Toyota Celica, Toyota Corona, and Toyota Pickup models that require a 12-volt, clockwise-rotation direct-drive unit. The 1.0 kW output and 9-tooth drive help match the original starting system configuration used on the listed applications. This part number 16218 also cross-references Bosch 16218 and 16625 for the same application.

Use this starter when servicing Toyota Celica, Corona, or Pickup vehicles that call for a Nippondenso-style starter with the specified direct-drive layout and terminal configuration noted in the fitment data. It is listed across multiple model years, making it a focused replacement for older Toyota starting systems.

What This Starter Helps Address

• Slow or weak engine cranking
• No-crank conditions caused by starter failure
• Intermittent starting from worn internal starter components
• Replacement needs for direct-drive Toyota starter applications
• Fitment matching for vehicles requiring a 9-tooth, clockwise starter

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s original starter style, rotation, voltage, tooth count, and terminal configuration before installation. Verify that the application calls for a direct-drive Nippondenso-type starter and check the fitment notes for the presence or absence of an R-terminal. Compare the removed unit to part number 16218 to confirm mounting and electrical match before final installation.

Quality Assurance

MPA Electrical remanufactured starters are built for electrical starting-system replacement applications and are cataloged with OE-style fitment data for Toyota Celica, Corona, and Pickup models. Part number 16218 is listed with expanded interchange references to support application matching during service.
