Answer- The starter either has a bad solenoid or the ignition switch is not opening the connection when turned off.
The only way to check that would be to disconnect the starter, and check for voltage when the key is turn to start and then turned off. If voltage is present all of the time, then check the same thing at the solenoid.

What is the mechanism behind starting a car?
When you turn the key of your car,a signal is sent to the starter solenoid via cable.Now the starter solenoid draws power from battery and gives it to the starter motor which has a retractable gear attached to it. The motor starts and the gear messes with the flywheel to turn the crankshaft. The pistons attached to the crankshaft now draws air-fuel mixture (in case of petrol engine) and as soon as enough mixture is sucked, the battery operated spark-plug makes a spark and combustion starts. During the process the flywheel gets enough momentum to continue on its own, the gear retracts and the cycle goes on... This is the answer true to my best knowledge, hope it satisfies you. Summit.
If your 1991 Nissan won't start doesn't even turn over and you just replaced the battery and alternator 3 months ago what could be the problem and if it is the starter how do you replace it myself?
don't be so quick blaming the starter you need to check the starter relay, your neutral safety switch,your ignition switch,your conections. your grounds. starter solenoid. if all that is good then look at the starter. they're pretty simple to replace the hardest part sometimes is getting to it ,but once you there is a piece of cake.(don't forget how the wiring goes) here is a simple test to determing what or where the problem lies. is called the headlight start test. turn on your headlights,try to start the car(have someone do it) look at the headlights if the go dim you may have high resistance somewhere in the circuit.(bad solenoid ,starter motor) if the headlights stay bright then you have an open in the circuit. which simply means bad neutral safety switch,relay,poor ground.(not the starter)

How do you remove a starter from a '98 Toyota Corolla?
Are you sitting down? If the bottom bolt is not there then the bolt is coming into the starter from the inside of the transaxal housing whick means a it's a CVCC type engine. Not sure if you have to pull the engine my accord's starter just went out and this is what I found by feeling no bolt on the bottom mount and sticking a pensicle in there and finding something blocking. The Chilton book that I have shows a pic of the bolt inside the houseing. I'm gona get durnk good luck The other bolt is behind the stabelizer bar. if your hands and arms are small enough you can get behind it with a rachet wrench and not have to remove the stabelizer bar. It's the upper bolt on the short end of the stabelizer. there's a bolt on the right front side and one from behind on the left side. Get the new one, look at it, make sure it matches the one that's in there, the bolt from the back is a little tricky, but you can get to it. I had to remove a stabilizer bar thingy to get a wrench and my arm in there. Mine's an 82 Honda accord 3 door hatch back, just swapped it out a month ago. while looking at ste starter motor from the side of the car stick your left hand around past the upper bolt of the stabalizer bar you willm find a bolt use a # 14 open end wrench it will take time but i did it cool
Are you still required to allow the landlord to show the cottage even though I have been evicted but still have two weeks left there?
It depends on the laws in your locality, whether your tenancy has been terminated, whether a "stay" was issued by the eviction court, and what your obligations are during a "stay". Since you don't say where you are, and although it sounds like there was a "stay" that has 2 weeks left to go, it is impossible to tell from the facts you've given. Sorry.

Either the ign. switch is faulty, or the starter is faulty Or the starter solenoid is stuck closed, so the starter is constantly engaged and getting voltage from starter relay. If so you would need to replace the solenoid.
On a 91 ford explorer the question is why would the starter not only stay engaged to the flywheel after the engine has started but keeps running even after the key and engine have been turned off?
The 1991 Ford Explorer should have a separate starter relay that sends power to the starter. It sounds like the relay has stuck and is sending power to the starter even after the vehicle is running.

That can be a problem with the fuse, the switch might be faulty. The motor at the transfer case might be unplugged.
Why would the starter stay engaged all the time after it and the solenoid were replaced on a 1986 F150 if no wires are crossed?
If this happened immediately after replacing the starter, I would say the wires on the solonoid are connected wrong. It could be the switch but I think it is the wiring.
Why does the radio and clock stay on constantly even with the key out after getting remote start installed?
Sounds to me like when it was installed they jumped 12volt straight to the accessory wire because they didn't feel like hooking up another second accessory to the brain or the remote starter is malfunctioning and the remote starter relay is keeping that accessory wire engaged
How do you check starter to flywheel gear clearance-?
Generally when you purchase a starter - depending on the application- it will come with a small thin metal rod that is used to "guage" the proper distance between the bendix and the flywheel. More often than not the starters purchased these days are not necessary to shim or even worry about clearance issues. If the vehicle starts and the starter does not stay engaged too long or does not make a lound whining sound then there is no clearance problems.
