starter continues to run
 

Hey Folks,

My car left me stranded in the garage (i guess i should be thankful). When I went to start it up, the starter seems to run after the car is started (the starter running continually prohibits the car from fully starting). If I rotate the key back to left to try to disengage the starter the car quits.

Initially I thought I had an key ignition or ignition switch problem. but after testing with another one I have the same symptoms.

I also removed the starter to insure the solenoid was engaging. After testing with the battery i could see the soleniod is in fact engaging.

Now I am at a loss. What stops the starter from running? What do I troubleshoot next?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
