Well, I replaced the starter today-everything starts and runs fine now. When I got the starter out, the cable between the magnetic switch and the starter motor was fried too. If the key doesn't release in my ignition, the starter motor will continue to run without the pinion being engaged-I'm wondering if my friend's wife was driving with the starter motor running and it burned itself out, shorted, and fried the cables? Anyway, after checking I have all the grounds that I should, but I want to replace them with heavier gauge wire and new terminals. Thanks again for all the help guys!
