The next time it happens, use your left hand to turn the ignition key to the start(crank) position and hold it there. With your right hand, slowly move the shift lever forward and/or reward until the starter engages. If this works, your P/N sensor is out of adjustment or bad. Every time I've done one, I've only removed the upper atf cooler line at the radiator so I could move it around and I've loosened the muffler clamp so the pipe could swing down and give me more clearance.

This will often affect your reverse backup lights as well.

Sometimes your MIL will be lit on the dashboard also.

All three of the above can occur at the same time, or just one or two, it depends.

The FAQ's outline the procedure and I've got some instructions that I've written up that I could send you if you wanted to do it yourself.
