I Installed an sn95 starter on my fox a few months back, and its been horrible and noisey. I thought their was just a defect with the solonoid, so i took it back to the zone yesterday when I was doing my clutch and got a brand new one. After I buttoned everything up and started my car its doing the same as usual.

After I crank the starter and key off, the starter will keep spinning for about 3-5 seconds. I'm sure its just the wiring, because as of now i have it set up so the small prong is linked to one of the larger prongs and the power is to the small prong on the starter. I Fiddled with jumping the wires around, but the way its set up now is the only way the starter will turn.

What I didnt try was setting it up so all prongs have contact. Its bothering me, but I dont want to take the starter back off on a hunch.

So why not just use the correct starter instead?

The sn95 starters have more torque, there supposed to be great starters. If I could only figure out the correct way to wire it.

Sounds like an inductance issue. The fat starter cable on the fender solenoid should have been moved to the battery side of the solenoid. Then a new 14 gauge wire is run from the now-vacant solenoid terminal to the trigger on the piggyback solenoid.
