Re: IML: 90 imperial no start issue AGAIN!!

[aeyn <mr85000@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mat,
   You might kick yourself VERY HARD if this is actually the
problem...  Check the transmission linkage to the shifter.  I now
recall my 90 Fifth Avenue had the same problem and I had to
adjust the linkage at the tranny by a 1/16 of an inch.  The
procedure is in the FSM.  I understand that this is common on the
transaxles.
