Default starting problems

Just wanted to get some feedback from seasoned veterans regarding my 94 EX.

When I turn the key to start the car it will sometimes only "click". Then when I double or triple crank the key car will start. When this happens the starter sounds like it is tired. Other times the car starts on one crank. Then today I started the car, when I turned the key to off the starter was still trying to start the car. Also, when the car was running the starter was still spinning.

Can anyone tell me if this is related to the ignition module?

Thanks for the help!

I don't think your problem is in any way shape or form, related to the ignition module [aka ignitor]
if the starter is still running when the car is started, the ignition switch is stuck in 'crank'position.
If you turn the ignition switch to 'crank' and only hear the starter solenoid click you have poor battery connections or bad solenoid contacts.
