swapped efi 5.0 into maverick starter want shut off

i swaped a efi 5.0 into my maverick and the car starts up but starter keeps going lol sorry best way i can explain it

 

Soleniod sticking? Maybe you have the wrong starter that sticks too far into the bellhousing.

 

How do you have it wired? a mini starter will do that if the solenoid is not isolated since they are a permanent magnet motor.

 

stock everthing

 

Bad selonoid or the wrong wire to the selonoid

 

Do you have the big 302 starter with one connection or the small 5.0 mini starter with the solenoid on it?

 

yea the big 302 starter it will start over fine and when i touch the red and green wire to it it starts up but it want catch and stay runing

 

If it stays running the like Joe said it might have the wrong wire connected to the "S" terminal on the solenoid keeping it energized.

 

i have a run wire red wire with green strip and a start wire red with blue strip hanging off my tfi so i hooked it up to the same colors on my maverick and it starts but starter keeps trying but car want run on its own .... sorry if i lost you iam so confused

 

Red with blue trace should be connected to the "S" terminal on the starter Solenoid. The Brown wire or Red with green to the "I" terminal on the solenoid.

 

iam using a 91 mustang solinoid

 

Did you use the starter that was on the engine and transmission? or did you actually change it to the older style?

 

no iam using the starter that came on the 91 mustang but iam using a 91 mustang soilnoide do i need to get a older starter soilnoid

 

A 91 would come with what everyone refers to as a mini starter, the solenoid is on the starter.

 

Looking in the catalog here the 91 mustang still had the big starter, the PMGR mini starter came out in 92.

The Mavericks Red w/blue trace wire should be the only wire connected to the S terminal or small connection on the 91 Solenoid. You might want to replace the solenoid with the older version so you can connect the other small ignition wire.
