Does anybody know if there is a starter motor from another car that fits the 2.0 pinto engine. Going to replace mine and wondered if it’s interchangeable with another vehicle?
many thanks.
many thanks.

Re: 2.0 pinto starter motor
I believe that the Pinto was the only engine to use the 135T starter motor. Check the number of teeth on the gear before buying.Originally posted by twinstacks View PostMOC member since 05/97

Re: 2.0 pinto starter motor
I think it may also be a case of which Ford models used the year/model of pinto that you want to replace the starter motor on. I had to replace the Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF) on my 2L injected pinto to get the correct air/fuel combination, solving lumpy tick-over and better overall pick-up and running. I 'could' get one in the UK but places like SierraSpares was asking circa £250 for a secondhand one (couldn't find any new OEM ones, what a surprise........). A bit of investigation showed that the Transit also had my model of pinto u till circa 1995 and I was able to get one from a breakers in Germany for £50 including shipping. Job done and car running sweetly.Originally posted by twinstacks View Post2000 Marlin Cabrio LWB; 2.0 L Burton Pinto in Ford Nightfire Red with Magnolia leather interior.
