Why is probably a good question............... The plate the starter bolts to seems to bend inward. The important part is how to fix it. Dorman makes starter shim for about $5 - $7 parts # Part # 02359. They are 3/32 thick. I actually had to use two but no more problems
starter gear is to close to flywheel install starter shim
The starter has probably failed.
i would take a good guess that when the starter is engaged through the sylenoid that it is sticking and when you go to shut it off it stays engaged
Well you might want to check the wires that connect back to the starter. If you missed one that should be bolted to the starter it'll be hanging or stuck somewhere - most likely touching metal. If it is touching any metal it will always try to engage when you hook up the other end of the wire to the battery. -Sara replace your selonid
either the starter is worn out and needs rebuilding, or the battery is bad
sounds like your in the market for a starter.
The wires to the starter are probably connected wrong.
Sounds like the solenoid on top of the starter is bad. If the plunger return spring is broken, the starter stays engaged all the time.
i have a 1990 ford ranger and my fule gauge always reads full, why?
Try a new starter or ignition.
Fill it up. If it stays on with a full tank, then the sensor is bad.
your relay is broken, a wire is crossed, or the selonoid on the startr is bad.
