If your sure about the installation,Bolts tight? wires on right? replace the stater relay, or remove it, if it stops cranking, replace it. If it keeps going, it's between the new stater, and the ignition switch. Starter Drive Will Not Disengage Starter motor loose on mountings Worn drive end bushing Damaged engine flywheel teeth Tighten starter attach bolts See STARTER article Replace flywheel and starter pinion gear for damage Replace return spring Drive yolk return spring broken or missing Faulty ignition switch Replace ignition switch Insufficient clearance between winding leads to solenoid terminal and main contact in solenoid Starter clutch not disengaging Replace starter clutch Ignition starter switch Replace ignition switch contacts sticking
