I have a 95 Ford Escort 1.9 and it just keeps running ,but when i take wire off of starter syloinoid it stops trying to start already replaced starter.



Sounds like a problem with the switch in the steering column or another electrical problem.

Disconnect the ignition switch and see what happens. Sure sounds like a "fried" switch to me. The fact it does not crank except in park or neutral proves the problem is ahead of the neutral safety switch, or whatever the vehicle uses for that purpose (some call it a transmission range selector switch or sensor - and control the starter with the GEM.)
