WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1999 Acura 3.0CL and 1999 Acura 2.3CL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check for continuity between commutator segments. If continuity does not exist, replace armature. Measure commutator mica depth. See STARTER SPECIFICATIONS  . If mica depth is not within specifications, replace commutator.
  2. Measure commutator runout. See STARTER SPECIFICATIONS  . If runout is not within specifications, replace armature assembly. If commutator is burnt or dirty, clean using emery cloth or a lathe. Measure commutator diameter. See STARTER SPECIFICATIONS  . If diameter is less than minimum specification, replace armature assembly.
