Q: try the neutral position if it works it may be only a bit of linkage adjustment to fix your situation. mike hi folks ive been dealing with this for a while and im very frustrated. 1992 dodge w150 318 magnum auto trans most of the time when i turn the key nothing happens its just dead. after running the gear selector all the way up and down anywhere from one to ten times and back to park it will start. sometimes i have to do this a few times before it will start. about a week ago the problem went away completely starting every time on the first try. yesterday it came back with a vengeance but i havent been stranded yet. i had the neutral safety switch replaced the ignition cylinder key slot and the starter. each fix seemed to help but only for a couple days maybe placebo effect. im thinking now that maybe the shift linkage is out of adjustment but the manual only states that the truck may start in gear no mention of starting problems. anyone have any thoughts thanks much -mac ps if you wish to email remove whatapain from the address otherwise posting is fine. .

short out the neutral safety switch for a while and see if the problem goes away. just remember not to turn the key to start in gear. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving nuetral is the same story as park sometimes yes but most the time no dice. thanks though try the neutral position if it works it may be only a bit of linkage adjustment to fix your situation. mike hi folks ive been dealing with this for a while and im very frustrated. 1992 dodge w150 318 magnum auto trans most of the time when i turn the key nothing happens its just dead. after running the gear selector all the way up and down anywhere from one to ten times and back to park it will start. sometimes i have to do this a few times before it will start. about a week ago the problem went away completely starting every time on the first try. yesterday it came back with a vengeance but i havent been stranded yet. i had the neutral safety switch replaced the ignition cylinder key slot and the starter. each fix seemed to help but only for a couple days maybe placebo effect. im thinking now that maybe the shift linkage is out of adjustment but the manual only states that the truck may start in gear no mention of starting problems. anyone have any thoughts thanks much -mac ps if you wish to email remove whatapain from the address otherwise posting is fine. .
