Default No start, when key is out car still trying to start itself.. HELP

I just changed my spark plugs and o2 sensor, and coils. I put everything back together and when I tried to start the car its not turning over. When I take the key out it sounds like the car is still trying to start itself. I had to disconnect the battery to stop it. When I put the battery cable back on the car is trying to start itself. what could that be? Is that the starter? the ignition switch? Can you help? Also there was oil on my spark plugs when I pulled them out. What should I do about that.? Alvin ..609-251-0188

It would help us to know what model GS you have...

Replace or rebuild your starter, the contacts in the solenoid have caught on the plunger. This is a fire hazard.

Oil in the spark plugs on the electrode or oil on the spark plugs, the outside part? Makes a big difference.
