A starter will not disengage if the ignition switch is stuck or if the solenoid has jammed. This will cause the starter to constantly receive power.
Absolutely not. The starter gear must fully disengage the flywheel gears when you release the starter. Otherwise when the engine starts the starter will continue to be turned by the engine.
Most commonly, it's the starter or the starter was wired wrong when it was installed. More rarely, it can also be the keyswitch or even a bad gear on the flex-plate.
When a starter is getting weak and starting to 'go out' you can often tap on it anywhere on the metal housing to get it to work. Eventually, it will fail so look for a new one.
I'd check two things: I don't remember what year Ford changed over, but if yours still has the starter solenoid on the fender, make sure you haven't crossed the small wires. If the solenoid is on the starter, are you certain that you've wired the starter right? There are a couple small wires that connect to the starter,if you connect them wrong it could the cause problems you describe. If you're CERTAIN that the starter and/or solenoid are connected properly, start looking seriously at the ignition switch.
Torque Converter Control Solenoid. It controls the lockup clutch in the torque converter, when it malfunctions the clutch can fail to engage or disengage properly causing shuddering at speed and stalling at idle. It is found inside the transmission as part of the valve body.
Disconnect the battery...
when you return the key to the on position, it ceases to power the starter motor and the Bendix spring retracts.
Your starter has gone bad and will need to be replaced unless you can take the starter to an automotive electrician and he may be able to fix it.
the bendix gear on the starter is stuck on the flywheel remove starter check bendix gear for wear if worn to bad replace starter
It's possible, but more likely the starter is faulty or wired wrong.
Check and or replace your starter solenoid.

Try the ignition switch.or the ignition module located usually near distributer
AnswerCould be a bad starter drive - spring broken and not releasing or a bad starter solenoid not opening circuit See "Related Questions" below for instructions on how to remove/replace the starter.
So that you don't fail
hey dude this is tatum.. try ur switch for your ignition .. some system involving ignition to solenoid ciruit system which involves starter engagment when key is inserted to ignition switch Outside chance that the flexplate maybe damaged or the starter is not "Shimmed" correctly and not allowing the starter toothed wheel to disengage. In some cases the starter may need to be "Shimmed" to move it away from the flexplate so that the gear does not get jammed. In any case, if you find the problem please let us know 8-) TommyTrouble
