DENSO Auto Parts Starter P/N:280-0389
DENSO 280-0179 starter for the 1996-2000 Toyota 4Runner 4-cylinder 2.7L and other vehicles cranks the engine to start it. This remanufactured starter motor is designed to start the engine in cold and hot weather.
Slow cranking, a click with no crank or a grinding noise at start-up can mean a starter is wearing out. Before replacing it, look over the battery terminals and the starter cable ends with the engine off for corrosion or looseness, since a poor connection can mimic a worn starter.
This starter fits the 1996-2000 and the 2010 Toyota 4Runner 4-cylinder 2.7L and the 1995-1998 Toyota T100 4-cylinder 2.7L. These vehicles take a single starter, and this listing is one.
