XJ starting issues

I have a 92 XJ that wont start in park but I can put it in Neutral and it will turn over and start. Do I have a sensor going bad or is something out of adjustment?

Been there, done that on my '96. Do your back up lights work? First thing to go on mine was being able to start in park...that somehow corrected itself the second time I had to start in neutral so I never replaced the switch. Has not happened again (knock on wood...I have other problems I need to fix first) Backup light is controlled on there too (at least for my '96) so now my backup lights work part of the time.
