Let’s get straight to the point—this isn’t just a “small motor” in your Tiggo7 Pro’s engine bay. It’s the
engine’s “starting power core”: a compact, high-torque electrical component mounted on the engine block of the Tiggo7 Pro equipped with the F4J16 engine. Think of it as the “push that fires up your car”—it converts the vehicle’s battery power into mechanical energy, kickstarting the engine’s combustion process. Its main job? When you turn the ignition or press the start button, it drives the engine’s
crankshaft to rotate, enabling the engine to start running on its own. Without it, your Tiggo7 Pro’s engine would stay idle—no matter how much you press the start button, the car won’t come to life.
This starter is exclusively engineered for Chery Tiggo7 Pro models with the F4J16 engine—always confirm your vehicle’s VIN to ensure a perfect match! It’s tailored to the F4J16 engine’s specs: its mounting position aligns precisely with the engine’s flywheel ring gear (ensuring smooth power transfer), its torque output matches the engine’s starting load (no underpower or overload), and its electrical connector syncs with the Tiggo7 Pro’s ignition system (no wiring mismatches). Opt for a generic starter? You’ll face issues: it won’t mesh with the flywheel properly (causes grinding noise), can’t generate enough torque to start the F4J16 engine (leaves you stranded), or shorts the electrical system (damages the battery or ECU).
It’s the unsung hero behind every successful engine start—here’s how it works for your Tiggo7 Pro:
Energy conversion: It draws 12V electricity from the car battery, using an internal DC motor to turn electrical energy into rotational mechanical energy.
Drive engine rotation: A small gear (pinion gear) on the starter extends and meshes with the engine’s flywheel ring gear. As the starter motor spins, it drives the flywheel, which in turn rotates the engine’s crankshaft.
Auto-disengage after startup: Once the engine fires up and reaches idle speed (faster than the starter’s rotation), the starter’s drive gear retracts automatically—preventing the engine from “dragging” the starter and causing damage.

This F4J16 3708010AC starter only fits Chery Tiggo7 Pro models with the F4J16 engine—if it’s the wrong fit, your car just won’t start.
All Chery Tiggo7 Pro versions with the F4J16 engine. It matches the engine’s flywheel size, where it mounts, and electrical specs—make sure to check your VIN to confirm it’s the
right one.
Tiggo7 Pro with other engines: Like the F4J20. They’ve got different flywheel gear ratios and mounting spots, so the starter won’t line up or mesh with the engine.
Other Chery models: Things like the Tiggo8 Pro or Arrizo 8. Their engines need different starting power and have different electrical setups—this starter just won’t work with them.
Non-Chery cars: Even if it looks about the same, their engine designs and ignition systems are totally different, so the starter won’t function at all.
Putting this starter in involves high-voltage circuits and super precise mechanical alignment—if you try to do it yourself, you might damage the battery or break the starter. Here’s how the pros do it:
Prep the engine bay: Techs first disconnect the car battery to avoid electric shocks. Then they find the old starter on the engine block, disconnect its electrical plug, and take the old one off.
Mount the new starter: They line up the F4J16 3708010AC with the engine’s mounting holes, bolt it in following Chery’s exact torque requirements—too loose and it’ll vibrate; too tight and you’ll damage the engine block. Then they plug the electrical connector back in.
Test if it works: They reconnect the battery, turn the key or press the start button, and check if the engine starts smoothly. They make sure the starter engages and disengages properly, with no weird noises.
Check battery connections: Loose or rusty battery terminals cut down the power going to the starter. Clean the terminals with a wire brush once a year and tighten them up.
Don’t keep trying to start the car repeatedly: If the engine won’t start right away, don’t keep turning the key over and over—it’ll overheat the starter. Wait 10 to 15 seconds between tries.
Get it checked if starting goes wrong: If the engine cranks slowly, makes a grinding sound, or just won’t start at all, have the starter looked at. Common problems are a worn-out pinion gear or a broken solenoid.
Keep it away from water damage: Don’t drive through deep puddles or water—if water gets into the starter, it’ll cause short circuits and rust the inside parts.
