The starter would not have anything with the vehicle to keep running Only to start . If the starter spins the engine an it doesn't keep running ,fuel or ignition problem . Having a qualified repair shop check it mite be your best bet , sorry but doesn';t sound like you know a whole lot about cars
Just changed mine for the same problem!!! replaced starter, problem solved! Unusual design by american standard, for the main motor to continue to drive, !?
From what you describe I would suspect that the starter is not fully engaging. I'm assuming that the grinding noise you hear when you try to engage the starter is INSTEAD of the engine cranking. If I assumed wrong, ignore the following:
Pull the starter, check the flywheel for excessively worn areas. Most of the time the flywheel is ok, it's just the starter. Any time you disassemble a starter you should replace the bushings and brushes. Never remove the starter with the battery still connected. Remove the negative terminal from the battery before you attempt to remove the starter.
