92 s10 blazer Wont stay in parking gear

[bbeastz]

92 s10 4x4 4wd blazer, when i park and shift to parking and turn off engine, then start engine again, the car automatically idles in reverse (that means if i dont have brakes pressed it takes off)

the space between the park and reverse gear is very loose when shifting,also i parked at a store today on a very slight hill i press the emergency brake, and when i started the engine it idled in reverse again...this is starting to happen alot lately...even when i think the car is in park gear real good, it still happens


i just need ideas of what to look into

sounds like neutral safety switch if it start's while in gear. you really need to get that fixed for your safety and other's.

Shift linkage and neutral safety switch need adjustment.

thank you for the replies...it turned out to be the easiest fix i have ever had...i just had to lay underneath car, tighten the bolt that connects to the transmission because it was loosen enough to turn with my hand,now i can really feel when its changing gears like it should

Again, Thanks!!
