I have been having problems getting started lately and some problems with hesitation. I think that it is the ICU or fuel related. Anyway, after doing a little trouble shooting I went to crank the engine and it wouldn't start but the started kept running even after turning the key to 'off'. I had to disconnect the battery for it to shut off. I checked the starter relay and that didn't help. Ever happen to anyone or does anyone have any suggestions? Could it be the started solonoid? How do I test it? I really don't want to replace a starter along with whatever else is wrong.

Thanks

Joe
