I had a CSI and had the same darn problem. After having them send parts to fix it that didn't I elected to send it back and go with a different starter.

Ford makes a high torque and a super high torque starter. This fixed my problem. Summit (and probably Jegs) has them both although they are not listed in the catalog. I believe the super high torque starter is around $200. My motor is 14.5:1 and this thing will spin the motor like crazy, seriously.

If nothing else has changed I would see about returning the starter and going with the ford.
