Spin your engine over and get it firing with the Remy Remanufactured Starter, MPN 17498. This starter motor engages the flywheel ring gear to crank the engine during starting, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2010 Kia Sportage, 2006-2008 Hyundai Tiburon, 2007-2012 Hyundai Elantra, 2007-2009 Kia Spectra, 2007-2009 Kia Spectra5, and 2010-2011 Kia Soul with the L4-2.0L engine.
If a failed starter is the cause of slow, no-crank, or clicking-only starting, this unit replaces it — diagnose the cause before replacing. Signs the original starter may need replacing include a single click with no crank, intermittent starting, or grinding on engagement.
