My problem is exactly as this person's in the first article on this web page:

http://www.2carpros.com/topics/neutral.htm

 

i dont think that would hurt cause it might be flutering

is your car auto

if its not auto then it would be the clutch switch.

try starting it it neutral if park doesnt work. and you can always check the switch it should be close to the linkage on the trany

IM me if you have AIM

 

The car is 5spd. Sometimes it will start, sometimes it won't. AFter awhile it will start, exact symptoms as the pT cruiser. I thought the clutch switch was under the clutch pedal?

 

it is under there for the clutch not the auto the auto is off the tranny

sound more like your battery might be takinga dumop or you have a bad ground witch could happend cause the starter gets its ground from bolting to the tranny witch has a ground wire on it so make sure thats good to go

 

I already replaced the battery as well. All grounds are good to go as well.

 

still having this problem?

 

Knock on wood this problem seems to have remedied itself.

 

Def the neutral safety switch, happened yesterday again, I fiddled with the switch and it started right away.

 

Thread resurrection!

Thank you for this!! Yet another thing that the mechanic that did the R&R on my car may have effed up. I will have to look into this on the weekend.

 

how do these terminals and wires go bad or need replacing?

 

I figured out my problem. My throwout bearing was having intermittent engagement problems. I would have to pump the clutch a few times then it would finally grab. ****ing bull****.

 

yea, id be pretty mad about that too bro, thats kinda ****ty. at least you found the problem, just going to switch it out?

Already did about two months ago after it took me over a year to figure out the ****ing problem!!!
