Ignition "over-starting" - i.e., turning over too much
My 89 Maxima seem to be "over-starting" -- that is, when I turn the key to start the car, the starter cranks, the car starts, AND the starter seem to over-crank a bit even after the car is started. The car makes a sound that is equivalent to what you would hear if you turned the ignition key while a car is already started.
Does anyone have any ideas regarding what this could be and how I would go about diagnosing/confirming that a given idea might be correct.
Thanks

sounds like you have the same prob. i had. the starter solinoid is stuck in the start position and will not properly retract after the car has started. i took my starter apart and cleaned it... and regreased it... works like a charm now
