Please be mindful of your language. Your post is PG-13 for now but just keep in mind that mods may step in and pink you any time for R+ posts.

With regards to your problem, make absolutely sure that you did not wire the starter incorrectly. Also check your ignition switch for faulty operation.

It sounds like you crossed the starter signal with constant power so the starter thinks you're always cranking.

yea check and double check the wiring it has to be something giving it constant power to the starter, which will toast the starter and ur flywheel if u let it go on for too long

^^^what they said. I had similar problems once.

well the only thing i have done differently is connect the ground from the battery to the intake manifold and thats when i started having this problem if i take the ground off i get nothing....im so f-ing confused but yeah what did u do to fix ur problem?

Is the ground wire connected to the chassis to? I had issues with my turbo timer wiring coming loose and touching each other. so when i hooked up the battery, it would just start cranking. I also had issues with the main power wire for the starter coming loose and touching the connection on teh starter motor.

If you did turbo timer wiring, check around the ignition switch area to make sure that you hooked up the start signal correctly.
