1987 Volvo 240 • 400,000 miles  Occasionally my volvo won't
start when in park and no sound when turning key. My son told me
that they have a quirk and to put it out of park and quickly
shove into park again and it was amazing, it worked and car
started and didn't do it again for a long time. Now it did the
same thing the other night and I remembered this trick and tried
it again and once again car started. Since that night it is
doing it almost every time I try to start car. I will once again
start after I take it out of gear and put it into park. It is
clear to me that some part is wearing out and I need to repair
but do not know what is causing this. Do you know what this
problem could be and how I can fix it please? December 2, 2012.
