ok guys so my starter started going out so I replaced it with a BRAND NEW (not rebuilt) starter well it was working great then one day I went to start it and it didn't engage but the starter kept getting power and spinning (not engaged) even after I took the key out so I unhooked the battery and sent the starter back got a different one thinking it was a started issue well I got it in and the very first time it did the same thing except I unhooked the battery and when I hooked it back up it didn't start back up, since then its been working fine until today I went to start it and it didn't keep running it stopped when I let the key go but it was spinning and not engaging I tried again and it worked does anyone have any idea whats going on... last thing I want is to be stranded

 

Hmmm. Clean your ground points. If you didn't have a problem before you replaced the starter, get a reman or used starter. I don't trust anything that isn't factory for a good reason.

grounds are good already did that im leaning towards it being ignition switch

 

Is there an engine code for anything?

no engine codes all clear

 

Ignition switch could be it, but the starter still getting power to it is a curveball. Especially after the key was out. Sounds like there might be a short somewhere in the ignition system.

im thinking that might have something to do with my ignition relay I might replace it maybe its sticking or something

 

Well, a relay is always easier to replace than ignition switch. Haha. Hopefully it solves your problem.
