the bendix gear on the starter is stuck on the flywheel remove starter check bendix gear for wear if worn to bad replace starter
No, the starter will not fit. Different engine sizes and different starter styles.
why would my starter wire burn, going from starter to battery
No. A bad starter would cause the car not to start.
I would suspect a defective ignition switch. I would be more inclined to believe it was the starter relay/solenoid thingy i used to have an old amc eagle. and it did same thing starter wouldn't disengage. I replaced the solenoid/starter relay and it worked fine after that.
It would if the battery voltage was lowered enough to cause it not to fire.
You need to replace the starter.
The starter is probably not aligned with the flywheel. The clearance between the starter and the ring gear needs to be checked.
The starter itself.. that would be unlikely... but a wire connected to the starter could on some vehicles.
a bad battery will do this. also make sure the correct shims are used in installation and that the number of teeth on flywheel and starter both match. either of these can make starter hangup and not disengage
what would transmission not to shift in to overdrive
The starter relay (solenoid) points are melted together.
bad starter or starter solenoid.
