Car wont Start?

[xlilzeex]

yeah, exactly what the title says, the stang wont start. I pulled up to an ATM last night around 4 am coming home from work and i turned the car off for a second just to make a deposit, and when i tried to start it back up, nothing. I have power, radio works, headlights, etc. Anyone know what the deal is? Could it be the starter...alternator and how do i know for sure? One thing i should add, sometimes when going to start my car and it wont, i have to move my shifter down and back up to park, then it will start. If someone could figure this out, ill send u $1,000,000..........in monopoly money?

I would guess maybe the inhibitor switch, but i'm not up on the auto box in the sn95, usually its there so you cant start the car in anything other than park and neutral to avoid accidents. The fact moving the shifter around affected it, could point to it.

You want my Paypal address now i suppose. :dancing6:
