starter runs with key off?!
i have a 99 camry v6. it has lately been having trouble starting. that trouble being that with the key in the start position, the starter will begin starting and like it has a power loss, stops spinning. i have to turn the key off and try again. most of the time is only takes a couple tries to keep the starter spinnign long enough to get the motor started.
today, it did its normal thing, but when i turned the key off, the started kept spinning. good thing it didn't start because i could not get the starter to shut off. by the time i got a wrench and disconneted the battery, it was dead.
i have searched the foru, but can't find anything with this symptom. any thoughts?
is this a starter problem or an ignition short of some sort?
i've never had a car do this before?
thanks in advance!
