Bad ignition switch. I have seen lots of these go bad. Also check starter relay. What happened was for some reason the starter relay was activated and sent a signal to the starter to start the car even though the car was running

Good battery, key will not engage starter, jumping starter will not engage drive

jumping across the solenoid will spin the starter but will not engage the pinion in the ring gear. Have a load test done on the battery as I suspect that there is a bad cell and you are not getting a full charge. If the battery is faulty then there is always enough power to turn on dash lights but nothing left to run the high current solenoid and starter.

This has only happened once but it seems serious. After the engine started the starter kept turning and did not stop for several minutes after the engine was turned off and the key removed from the...

It can be serious because it will ruin the teeth on the flywheel. The "bendix drive" in your starter is going bad. This is the part that engages and disengages the starter. While it is not overly expensive the starter has to come off and apart to fix it. Easier to change the whole starter. Hope this helps.

Won't start getting nothing when i turn key

Recheck all your connections, battery. starter, look for fuseable link on small wire going to starter. Might want to chk.that wire with test light when key switch is in start position and see if it lights. If it does not light might be starter switch under dash on steering colume.
