i got some ideas of the problem but i would like more input...

i just dropped in an s13 blacktop and when we connected the battery the starter started to spin by itself...we were thinking that the wiring was messed up, but we went under the car and the started wasnt even grounded...any ideas??? im thinking it might be time for a new starter

If the starter is bolted to the bellhousing then it's grounded.

so is it a wiring problem, or is my starter just fucked???

Unplug the solenoid lead. If it still tries to start then the solenoid is bad and fused together. If it doesn't, then you've got the solenoid lead shorted to another wire somewhere in the car, or possibly the ignition switch is broken and stuck in the start position.
