[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 94934, member: 432"] Is the starter staying engaged after you release the key? If so, I would guess just the starter needs to be replaced. The bendix(toothed gear) on the starter may not be retracting back away from the ring gear after the key is released. There is a spring that is supposed to push it away from the ring gear after electrical current is shut off to the starter. Shavings or metallic dust from the starter/ring gear teeth may have gotten into the starter and binding the shaft the bendix rides on. It is normal for small amounts of dust to accumulate there. Over time the shaft may become worn and pitted from the dust and hang in the engaged position. [/QUOTE]
