Okay, so on my way to work this morning I went to turn on my Raider. That is when I noticed it, the starter wasn't turning, so how in the hell will my engine start? At first I assumed that the battery must have died.
So I checked it by turning on head lights radio and dome lights. They all functioned normally. Intensities were all normal.
Then I tried again. Nothing happened. I looked down at my shifter (Automatic) and realized that the little red indicator was pushed up a little higher than normal. So I jiggled it to its regular position in Park.
Then I tried again. It fired up just fine. That completely baffled me. I thought to myself that must be it. It wasn't registering in Park for some reason? So I decided to test it.
I turned off my raider, I moved it to that same position, just so the little red indicator shows half way above the Park position. Then I attempted to start it. Nothing happened.
I re-adjusted the shifter into the regular Park position. Then I attempted to start it again. It fired right up.
So now I'm positive that I know why it did not start. The shift lever might be loose or the cable has too much slack that is causing the Raider not to start. So then, my question to you all is:
How do I adjust the Automatic Sifter?
'89 Dodge Raider, V6, Auto Tranny.
