As mentioned it is good preventative maintenance to refurbish the starter solenoid while you have the coil pack out. The contacts and plunger in the solenoid corrode/burn with high current during starting. Take the solenoid apart (have seen photos either on this forum or the other) and clean the two contacts and plunger contact face till shiny. If they are badly pitted then they should be replaced. One of our members gathered the information on the assembly as follows:

- Nippon Denso Starter Assembly (Made in Japan)
128000-5430 Old number
128000-8281 New number
- Plunger - Denso 053660-7140 (difficult to find)
- Contacts are readily available since they are used on Toyota and Honda
- Gasket - Denso 18052007

If needed you should be able to find the parts through a starter rebuild shop locally.
