Re: 85 f150 5.8 h.o.

The bendix in the starter pulls it out after the engine starts. The starter is probably going bad.
Use a volt meter and check the voltage at the starter. You need at least 11 volts for the starter to work properly.
If you want it checked find a local rebuilder who uses origional equipment parts. I've had better luck with junk yard starters than some cheap parts store starters.
