After picking my car up from the dealer (head gasket repair) I have had some starting issues. They maybe related to the work done at the dealer (I have no faith in the workmanship there any longer) or could be just do to its age. First thing was it would crank for some time (30 to 50 sec.) where as it used to fire within 5 sec. and I would stop cranking for a few sec. and then hit it again and it would fire right off. And now I must wiggle the shifter to get it to crank at all which I belief to be the nuetral start switch but am not sure as to location. Any thoughts on this would be great :beer:

2 things

1st, is the car an auto or a manual. you say nuetral safety switch like its a manual, but in the USA 960s only came with autos.

2nd, it could be the ignition switch, spray a little lube in there and see if it helps anything.

good luck

Gear selector / inhibitor switch.....probably located on thr right hand side of the AUTO box ( looking towards the front of the car.

hi there i had a similar problem with my 440 automatic sometimes not starting and was found to be the inhibitor switch, but with my car it was located underneath the autogear box next to the shift lever and when i tried to remove it lots of gearbox oil poured out.
i emptied the gearbox oil first then cleaned up the switch and works fine

hope this helps

a note to 240psycho, autos come with neutral safety switch. it does just that. just a little info at the end of the day. now if it ever come up while you are on super jeopardy, you would win the daily double. i only want 10% :grin: stay safe all, just get out of my way while i am driving. woooohooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but theres still the problem of not starting properly ... have you checked for missing vacuum hoses etc... cracks in dizzy n all that?
