Default bad starter?

hi there have a problem starting my 85 stang when the key is turned the car turns over and starts but the starter is still engaging while the engine is running. I replaced the starter selinoid but it still does it, should i replace the starter? the key cylinder? could it be something in my crane ignition? Any help would be great thanks.

You can always take off the starter and have Autozone test it for free. Idk if you have another car to drive there, but if you find the starter is bad, you can order one online for a lot less than A-zone sells them for.
