Default My 08 has starting issues

My 08 won't start from time to time, I'll mess with the shift knob and then it will start, weird, anyhow.. We're looking in to getting a 2011 jku, do other years also have this issue? Or just the 07s and 08s?

depending on if its a bad ground or the park sensor it can happen to other years/models/makes. theres a few easy fixes on this very forum for the common jk versions of the problem.

My auto 07 has done this a couple times If I switch it into neutral rather than park, it fixes the issue.


If you have a manual, not sure what you could do!
