Do you get a loud metallic click when you push the start button?

Put your hand on the starter when you push the button, when you hear the click, can you feel it in the starter?

Could you explain more? Did the link help?

Reason is my '86 has never done this (as to date) I real don't want this to happen to me, but from the EVO section I'm prepped.
