Default WTF?????

I have a92 lx 5.0. when i turn the key to start it the starter drags after the car is already started, usually for 4-5 seconds. I have replaced the starter 3 times(all of the starters have been from autozone), i have replaced my flywheel, replaced the ignition switch TWICE, also replaced the starter relay (fenderwell) TWICE. NOTHING, it still drags, any ideas??????????? i have had the car for bout 3 yaers and it just started doing it one day. Can u HELP???????

interesting, when you changed the starters, were the teeth chewed up on them?

not really, i thought the flywheel would solve the problem but the teeth looked ok, i replaced it thought. should i try a different make starter? i have not replaced the ground wires from the fenderwell to the actuall starter, but would that cause it to stick? im stumped [:@]

i would say its the starter relay (fenderwell) or ignition, but you have replaced both, so im stumped as well. I would also say the bendex is sticking, but you replaced starters, and to shim it, but again you said it just happened one day. sorry man, im at a loss.
