Remy 17140 Starter Motor

Remanufactured Starter for Toyota Cold Weather Applications

Remy 17140 is a remanufactured 12-volt starter built for select Toyota compact cars with Nippondenso OE architecture. It uses an offset gear reduction design, clockwise rotation, an open nose cone, and a 9-tooth pinion to match the original starting system requirements on covered applications.

Detailed Description

Remy Premium Remanufactured 17140 is engineered for Toyota Paseo and Toyota Tercel applications that use a Nippondenso-style starter layout. The gear reduction design supports efficient cranking performance, while the open nose cone and clockwise rotation help ensure proper alignment with the original starter mounting and engagement setup. If you are replacing a worn starter on a 1995-1999 Toyota Paseo or a 1995-1997 Toyota Tercel, this unit provides the correct electrical and mechanical configuration for the listed vehicles. The Remy 17140 designation is also cross-reference useful during parts lookup and verification.

This part cross-references OE numbers 28100-11110 and 228000-4330 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Engine no-crank condition
• Slow or weak starter engagement
• Intermittent starting after key turn

• Starting-system failure caused by internal starter wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s starter configuration, mounting style, and electrical connections before installation. Confirm the application against the listed Toyota Paseo and Toyota Tercel fitment, and compare the original unit’s rotation, nose cone type, and pinion tooth count to Remy 17140. Clean battery terminals, inspect cables, and check charging-system condition during replacement to avoid repeat starting issues.
