That doesn't seem too logical, well maybe a little. It was very consistent.
The delay of the starter to run, and the freaky guages. There was a delay,
the engine did start but ran bad. I would think the alternator would cure a
bad battery connection as far as the engine run quality goes, could be
wrong. It was in park, locked. I could imagine a bad neutral safety
switch, or intermittent I suppose. I have diagnosed bad chrysler door
switches myself on a previous car, and instructed the dealer to check them
and replace them due to the car locking me out. They went around my
diagnosis and tried to reprogram my alarm, sidestepping the root cause. I
went to the parts counter and replaced them myself for next to nothing.
Problem fixed. And about 5 minutes labor for me. -If I have money I prefer
to not work on my non-classic cars (then). Now I have to...I'm thinking
possible it's more of a computer software glitch or most likely a sensor,
but the diagnostics didn't catch anything.

Last thought. Wife drove that car that night. Maybe her light or heavy
touch to PARK is atypical. It could be some slop in the gear shift
mechanism switch. It's working fine now.

Is there a recall or service bulletin on the detent? On some ZJ series
there was a recall to install a far heavier detent on the park, almost
obnoxiously detented.
