your ignition switch is hanging up in the crank position.
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.
Try the ignition switch.or the ignition module located usually near distributer
The actual problem is the starter continues to turn after key is turned off and pulled out of ignition.

Probably a stuck solenoid.
Check and or replace your starter solenoid.
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
Ignition switch, battery, battery cables, starter relay, starter solnoid, starter, flywheel ring gear.
Could be a bad starter solenoid (return spring not strong enough to disengage) Could be a bad ignition switch (does it release if you shift to "Drive"?)
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.
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.
I'm having this problem right now, on the same model, with 30,000 fewer miles. My mechanic diagnised the issue as ignition switch failure- he says that the spring which should retract a pushrod, or something, is not retracting, and therefore the starter continues to be engaged when it should disengage. The starter is thinking that it should be engaged, when you don't want it to be engaged because of the electrical current sent to it by the ignition switch. Get it? This can also cause the car to engage the starter in neutral and park, but not in "drive, reverse, 2 or 1". Another good point is that the switch can be switched out with a new or used part without having to rekey the vehicle. Good luck!
