Starter keeps spinning after engine starts

I have a 1990 900 non-turbo that I have recently replaced the starter. When I start the car, I can hear the starter spinning when the engine is running. I removed the clutch shroud and confirmed that the starter gear is in fact disengaged but the shaft keeps spinning. I loosend up the bolts and made sure that it was not making contact with the flywheel when disengaged. I removed the starter and swapped selonoids with the old starter and it did the same thing. I now think that this was the cause of the first starter failure.
The ignition key switch feels fine and does not appear to stick.
To the best of my knowledge, the starter is connected properly, I moved the little yellow wire to the second spade connector and it would not start at all. I only dissconnected 3 wires, (battery, Alt, little yellow) so I am not forgetting anything.
Is it possible that the although the key swithch feels fine, it may have an internal problem?
Any and all suggestions would be much appreciated! I have not been able to drive my Saab for 3 weeks and have been stuck driving my gas guzzleing SUV!!
Thanks,
MikeS
