I have a fault on starting my 4.4 2002 v8 .
It will not engage the start motor and start the engine when I turn the key in park.
It will engage the motor and start the engine when I select Neutral.
Any ideas ????

Sounds like the park position sensor isn’t working in ‘P’ so the start interlock is on.
Have you tried nudging the selector lever to see if it’s just on the edge of picking up the lever position?
If it is the switch, I think it’s here:
