5VZFE Starter noise
My V6 97 4Runner Limited starts but the starter makes a grind noise at the end of the start that is the same sound as when you try to start a vehicle that is already running. Does the starter need to be replaced?

For the original Denso starter, you can put in new contacts and a plunger to likely solve the problem. Don't put in a "lifetime warrantee" starter...rebuild the Denso if needed!
Another possibility....the gear on the starter is very worn and causing the issue.

Thanks for the help. I have a new reman denso starter ready to go in once I have the right tools. Since it is the original starter and it now has 283K miles on it - I'm replacing the whole thing.
