I am posting this for a friend...really!
He has a 1984 TVR 280i. The problem is that the starter keep running after the engine starts.
There is NO STARTER RELAY in this car and the trip wire from the ignition switch has been DISCONNECTED.
The solenoid has been professionally replaced... it's brand new!
To date he has done the following:
When the NEW trip wire is touched to the +12v battery post with the jumper cable connected from the starter to the +12v battery post, the solenoid pulls in and the starter will engage.
HOWEVER, when the trip wire is removed from the battery, the starter keeps running.
Nothing else has changed in the car... this is the original starter that has always been in the car and has always worked.
What would keep the starter running??????

To date he has done the following:
- Connected a +12 jumper cable from the battery + side post directly to the starter
- Connected a NEW separate trip wire to the solenoid (trip wire from ignition is disconnected)
When the NEW trip wire is touched to the +12v battery post with the jumper cable connected from the starter to the +12v battery post, the solenoid pulls in and the starter will engage.
HOWEVER, when the trip wire is removed from the battery, the starter keeps running.
