Check your schematic (link on my sig). Auto transmission should have a neutral safety switch somewhere. Just like the clutch safety switch on MT's, it prevents one from starting while tranny is in gear. Check its mounting and contacts.

Best of luck.

Yup. I had the same happen on a Lincoln LS once--I had to always push forward on the shifter before it would start.

Just needed a little adjusting. Yours may need a new safety switch
