RE: Starter wont quit running
so you moved the solenoid to the fender? did you ground it good cause most likely thats your problem. i couldnt figure out why my solenoid would randomly stick open even after replacing it 3 times, then i realized my ground probably wasnt good enough. make sure you have two bolts going into it and not just one and that they are on bare metal. it fixed my problem

mine does the same crap about everyother time i start it, if i floor it it stops, otherwise i have to start it a few times before it works normal. i have no idea why it does it one mine. i replaced the selenoid too

All the wires on the relay are in the same position they were before replacing it... Is there a ground for the relay itself? I figured it was pretty self grounding considering it is a bare metal relay attached to my inner fender... Its a brand newstarter, but i havnt never replaced the ignition switch... But I have never had problems with it, maybe its toast... Any other reasons why the starter would just stay on? I know when i start my car it stays on butif I pop the hood and tap thefender mounted relay with a pair of pliers....lol it will shut the starter off and off I go

The fender relay needs a good ground in order to work properly. The relay uses the inner fender as a ground. Sand some paint off the fender under the relay and tighten the relay back down. Metal to metal is what you want. Your bolts arent painted are they? That could cause a bad ground. Make sure its nice and tight but not so much you strip anything.
Try again and see what happens.

Well, crappy news fellas, I did the ignition switch and it still does the same thing, I know my relays getting a good ground, I just am not understanding why my starter is contstantly hot... Like I said before I can start the car with the key , motor starts but the starter keeps on running. Wierd thing is the tapping on the relay to make the starter shut off, makes me think it is a relay problem. I'm bent.....HELP....!!!!! LOL

Ohh one more thing, think it would matter I have a 4 gauge wire goign to the starter? I know when I took the original one off it was like an 8 gauge at the relay, that went into a 4 gauge at the starter...........hmmm I wonder if that could be the cause to much elec at the relay and it making it stick hmmmmmm
