94 grand-am starter
IF ANYONE IS WORKING TODAY PLEASE RESPOND YOUR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APRECIATED
i replaced the original starter with a rebuilt. I drove it for awhile then it started to make a squeling noise when i would start it. Just this friday the wires connecting to the solennoid started on fire. I replaced the starter with another rebuilt and replaced the positive battery cable as it was melted. the other wires were scorched but not melted. MY PROBLEM is that my car still will not start and the starter is heating up. how do i fix it.

Some of those wires along with the battery wire on the starter are fuse links. Tug on each one, you will know when you found a bad one.
Your saying it cranks but will not start?

The links are generally outgoing power from the battery cable. What's heating the starter up?
weak armature?
loose bushings/binding armature?

you were correct with the poor quality of starters. took me 3 starters to get a good one.
