If The Starter Is Hanging In The Ring Gear When You Are Starting The Engine. It Would Most Likely Be A Bad Starter Drive. Sorry For Not Including This
AnswerIf I Understand Your Question, You Are Asking Why The Starter Motor Keeps Running After You Let Off The Key. You Have A Bad Starter Solenoid. Also Your Ignition Switch Could Be Acting Up. Check The Starter Solenoid First. Good LuckSounds to me like you need to shim the starter. It should have come with shims when you bought it.
Yes, it has a cranking system called a starter.
The armature bushings inside the starter motor are probably shot. Time to replace the starter.
most likely a failing starter
There are probably severable possible reasons, but I can only think of a few at the moment. Some of the reasons include: 1. Misalignment of the starter when installed, which allows the teeth on the starter gear to bind with the the teeth on the flywheel, thus preventing disengagement after the engine starts. 2. A defective starter solenoid, which remains [stuck] in the start/engaged postion. 3. A defective ignition/starter switch in which the circuit providing current to the starter solenoid winding coil does not "open" as it should when the key is released and thus be allowed to return to the "run" position.j3h.
more than likely u fried the starter solenoid
That all depends on if you abuse the starter by cranking too long. I have 170,000 on original starter.
In general starters do not have torque specifications. You will want to tighten the starter as tight as you can without breaking the starter bolts.
Voltage flow into a starter motor, never out of it. Use the voltmeter to measure the voltage at the starter motor before starting to crank and then whilst it is cranking. (Before cranking, the voltage appears across the starter motor relay only.)
biggest problem with ford starters burning out is caused by a bad battery and prolonged engine turning over if hard to start. if starter has been replaced, your battery may not have correct cranking amps. bare in mind that a hot engine actually takes more cranking amps than a cold engine to start.
It was the starter
Discharged battery.
sounds like you forgot to put the correct shims in when starter was installed
