My xj wont start unless I slam on the shifter while its in park. It does this in neutral too. Anyone have any ideas. I hate having to take 10 minutes to start it sometimes cause pushing the shifter doesnt always work the first time.

If it starts when you turn the key jiggling the shifter in park or neutral probably your NSS, (neutral safety switch) is gummy. Do some searching, either with search" above or with google. I hear it can be cleaned. Good Luck!

thanks for all the replies. I took the NSS of today and cleaned the contacts and everything and it works perfectly now. Even fixed my reverse light problems!
