Hey guys
Just come across a new problem im having..
Sometimes 1 out of every 10 starts when the car is in park the car will not turnn over, Ill get all the dash lights and CD player will come on..but car will not kick..i have to then put it into neutral to make it start..other times ill try once and then on my second time it will start..
Has anyone had this problem..if so how can i fix it..thanks
Drifting in a front wheel drive, is like going to maccas for an apple, Possible but pointless

does it throw an engine check light when it finally starts? if so Your battery is dead in the key. get a new head
My wifes vr does the same but only once every blue moon...225000k's on clock. Sometimes i need to push stick forward a bit...works every time...semi might be right..
its the little switch.. mine had the same problem
i had to wiggle the stick to get it to start.. there not to hard to replace, just remove the console and covers around the transmission and its a little piece that sits at the bottom to tell what gear your in.
not technically minded on this one..
My old VS used to do this too. Apparently really common problem. Pull the stick all the way down to L then back to Park and try to start it again. Also, you may want to try putting a bit of backward pressure on the lever as you turn the key, sometimes that used to do the trick for me too.
yeh my new inhibitor switch still does it sometimes. just gotta pull it down to 1st and put it in park again OR pull down on the stick a little bit.
go out an enjoy xmasOriginally Posted by garfa
guyz the commodores came out with a PARK brake which means when its all the way to top of park u wont be able to start it.... pull it the bottom of park and BINGO. mine does the same thing, just one of those things,
whats the purpose of a "park brake"?????????
park sensor
well what u need to do is get a new or 2nd hand parl sensor, which stops u from starting it in gear and crap like that, pull out the ashtray remove 2 screws holdin the sensor on and unhook it from the gear lever and put the new one in and bingo she should start in park again
yer u could do that if u wanted buy why bother when all u have to do is remove the ashtray and u can acces the park sensor from there, when u work a a ford dealership there is always an easyier way to do sumthin :P
yep........ but whats the purpose of a park brake?
i went out afterwards. i cant remember much of that night. i think i drink too much...
how much are these switch thigymajigs??
