I had to have a transmission shop replace the sensor at the tune of about $250. There is a way to bypass it but it will cause additional wear and tear on your engine and cause it to wear out prematurely.

Good Luck
This is called the TCC or Torque Converter Clutch. You can disable it by unplugging the four wire plug on the driverside of the trans. but it can cause more damage and burn the trans up. I don't think that this is your problem though, because if this is what is bad you would be able to start the engine in park or neutral. This has no bearing on the engine if the trans is disengaged. I think you may have a fuel pump issue.
