Subject:      Van not starting, auto tranny, gear selector position dependent
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Hi all,

My van just started being finicky about starting, but it's not a
starter issue, I'm pretty sure. I'd turn the key, nothing. I'd turn it
again, and it would start fine. Later, I'd turn the key, nothing, take
it out of Park and put it back into Park and it would start. Today
that didn't work, but it would start if I put it in Neutral. Then even
later it was fussy about that and I finally got it to start by holding
the key in the starting position and changing the transmission
selector from something else into Neutral. This strikes me as being a
problem with a switch in the gear selector housing. Am I right about
this? If so, what's the part that I need to fix this?

Thanks,
Marc Perdue
