Re: starter sticking?
How about the "s" terminal wire touching the battery cable at the starter? I have never had that happen before.

Re: starter sticking?
I wonder if it may have a weak or broken spring in the solenoid?

Re: starter sticking?
When I had problems with my tumbler and key my truck wouldn't want to shut off or start because it was all worn out inside. I would start there first. I needed a new column so replaced the whole thing!
