850 starting 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be ahles5 on  Sat Mar 2 10:30 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have an 850 that is tempremental when starting. The gear shift usually needs a nudge forward while the key is in the start position to get the car to crank over. I have been snooping around this sight and Bay 13 and seem to think the microswitch under the console might solve the problem. I have checked for fault codes on the transmission, and found none. The electrical starting system has been teseted by a independant garage and found to be OK. I do not think it is the PNP switch since I do not have a flashing arrow on the dash. Only other thought I have would be a faulty ignition switch at the steering wheel. Any thoughts on how to track this one fruther would be appreciated.
