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.

You are still describing a bad connection on the main power. Running
bad is like when you run the battery dead and the engine runs like crap
before it up and dies.

The arcs that happen at the bad connection can weld a contact that will
work for a little while sometimes. That is likely what happens when you
shut it down and used the high amp starter again.

It might stay stable for a bit, but if it happens again I would clean
the battery terminals. It could up and let you down anytime. Well,
when the exact same thing happens to mine, I don't wait to get stuck
someplace, I go after the connections anyway.

Well it just happened again. The battery terminals are very tight. I
suppose I will clean them, they don't even look dirty, but we'll see. I
told the wife to do what I did, turn on the key, move gearshift to neutral
then park and try again. That has always worked so far. I bet it's a
detent switch os similar. I need to search for recalls, and will clean
terminals anyway.

The battery cables have two ends, don't forget.

You 'should' be seeing or be able to feel heat at the bad connection.
This is after trying it and finally making it work more so but worth
checking. The arcing can make enough heat sometimes to burn hands if it
is a high amp contact. I would try it and then feel all the ends of the
battery cables. The ground is a sneaky one. If they are all cool, then
I would be cleaning the body ground connection.

After that, then I would be thinking the key switch. Same deal with
heat though. If it is a high amp contact it will make the switch hot to
touch unless.
