put my new starter on today...starter lag..(runs on a sec. after you turn the key loose).did the same thing with the old starter. so now i have... new Bosh... starter new...starter sol. new...ing. switch still have ...starter lag... any ideas on this???? ... ...
Are you using a mini starter with a attached solenoid and a jumper between the main terminal and solenoid terminal?
On the fender mounted solenoid, put a volt meter on the small terminal next to the battery terminal. Put the negative lead on battery negative. Start like you normally do and see if the 12volts drop out as soon as the key is removed from the start position. If not, its your switch. If it does and the starter is still spinning, move the meter lead to the starter cable side of the solenoid. If 12v is there, the solenoid is sticking, if not, the starter is probably binding and not releasing when it should.
I have heard of them doing it with the jumper. There is another way to wire them to prevent this. I will try to find it.
my ...starter guy...said...it's not dropping the power when it goes from...start to run... it hasn't done this ...forever...just here lately. ......
This is on PowerMasters site [FONT=Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-serif,sans-serif]Why does my starter seem to “run on” after the switch is released?[/FONT] This is a common complaint on Ford permanent magnet starters, although it can occur on any permanent magnet starter in the right conditions. This situation develops when the ignition terminal on the starter is “jumpered” to the battery terminal on the starter and a remote solenoid is used. Permanent magnet starters can actually produce power if they are driven from an outside source (i.e. the starter will act like an alternator once the engine fires and starts spinning). The current produced in the starter for this second or so will flow from the starter’s battery terminal to the starter’s ignition terminal and hold the solenoid in. This will cause the one to two second delay in the solenoid release and an irritating noise. The solution is to wire the starter per the instruction sheet, which will ensure that the ignition switch terminal goes dead the instance the key is released.
i didn't git no 'struction sheet... anybody got one???? THE OLD STARTER WAS WIRED FROM THE SOL. ON THE FENDER AND it DID IT.
