Can anybody advise me ? Just thought Id start the car during storage. Started Ok no problem. Stopped it , then re-started but car started as soon as ignition turned to on without me turning further to start? Tried several times and sometimes starts normal OK sometimes when the key is turned to ok the starter keeps turning though key is moved mack to ignition and wont disengage until ignition turned off? Tightened all the wires on the switch and tested several times and it appears to be OK Any ideas? Had the car 5 years and never this issue before ? Any ideas?

Sticky contacts somewhere. At the starter solenoid or the switch.
