    Default 1990 Conbrio - Electrical short from using mini jump starter

    I have a 1990 PCM Ford 351 in a Supra Conbrio.

    I tried to use a mini portable jump starter to start it, and it shorted "something" out. Now, any time power is connected (i.e. battery hooked up) the starter engages, even if key is not in the ignition.

    Which part(s) did I possibly short out?

    Something at your starter or solenoid is wrong. If you didn't remove any wires, inspect the terminals (or take some photos and post them) -- it sounds like maybe there are two wires touching that shouldn't be?
