weird starting?

Unknown member · Dec 21, 2001

I just went for to refuel at 3 am. Then I decided to drive around. I stopped for a while but when tried starting it again, the starter keeps on running. I don't know what to do, I turned the key to off but it's still running. I went out of the car opened the hood and pulled the brown wire from the solenoid... it stopped. I reconnected the brown wire to the solenoid and tried starting it again... it's back to normal. I'm just curious what's the culprit here? 65 200 C4 from Manila

Thanks to everyone... I also suspect the solenoid. Just want other ideas.

another cause would be ignition switch supplying solenoid control voltage after releasing from "start" position - agree with others solenoid most likely

And you get a shiny new solenoid!
But I 5th the motion, sound like a solenoid problem.

This makes 4 votes for solenoid. Even if it's not the solenoid, they only cost about $8 and take 5 minutes to replace, might as well do it.

Throw the solenoid as far as you can in the general direction of the landfill.

I also would suspect the starter solenoid.

Sounds like it's time for a new solenoid--I think the contacts were stuck and continued to supply voltage to the starter
