Anyone ever had an issue with starter engaging by itself. Issue started as the starter sticking on during an occasion when I started the car without the key....my switch is wore out. I replaced the starter a few days ago and was able to start and shut down the car with no further issues. Thinking the issue was fixes I put the car back in the garage. To my suprise a few minutes later I noticed a horrible electrical smell and thought I could hear the car trying to start, and it was all on it own the starter was turning over by itself with no keys or anyone in the car.......any ideas? :wtf:

i had that happen on my old 87 442, the problem was my starter wires were melted in a few spots and touching things and it would just start starting on its own even while driving
