To prevent the engine from being started while the transmission is any gear other than park or neutral.
If you continue to drive your car while the timing is off,your motor will start to act a little funny.I would NOT suggest you continously drive your car like that.
Scanning.
You should not drive a car that is running hot,because you can lock up the engine.
No a neutral safety switch allows your car to come out of park.
No your car just wont come out of park.
it prevents you from starting the engine while the transmission is in either DRIVE or REVERSE
Switch to TOD and drive about 5mph. Once all 4 tires light, switch to 4H while rolling slowly and in neutral. Might have to step on brake?
you can switch it anytime, but it is better if you stop and do it while in nuetral if it has a two setting 4x4 drive, i.e. 4Hi and 4Lo, then you can simply switch into 4hi whenever you want. you should only switch into 4lo when you are in neutral though.
put it in drive gear and try and start it if it does start while in gear its bad if it doesnt its good.
Try starting the vehicle while it's in gear. If it starts, your neutral safety switch is faulty.
A misaligned or defective neutral safety switch will cause you to have to wiggle the gear selector in order to get the engine to start. You may even have to put it in Neutral. The switch is there to prevent the engine from starting while in gear. It should only start in Park or Neutral.
The reason is that when you shift to neutral, the engine is released from the drive, and so there is no longer a load on the motor and it momentarily speeds up. I don't know who taught you to drive, they didn't do a good job. You should NEVER PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION!!!!!!!!
It needs to be in park or neutral to start. All cars have a "safety" switch which prevents starting in gear.
So that you can't try to start your car while in gear.
The Ford Neutral Safety Switch is an electronic part with the main function to stop the vehicle from getting started while in gear. The truck will not start when the switch is faulty.
