First time I ever did major surgery on the car.
Woke up this morning and my car didn't start at all, my normal tricks for forcing it to start didn't work as well (I've been having issues for a while). I had already changed the battery on the car and the only other thing it could be was the starter, did some research and it's a common problem amongst TSX in my mileage range.
Changed the starter, upgraded to aftermarket BOSCH one because apparently the OEM ones are garbage + more expensive.
Had to remove the intake manifold, Air intake to get to the starter. Only took me 2.5 hours, the recommended time for install was 4 hours and I took my time as well. Saved myself at least 500 + Towing
