That year and model you most likely have a loose input shaft nut or worn out pressure regulator bore in the valve body.I could tell more with a pressure test. So it won't start in park?Does it have spark?

The valve body is under the battery under the transmission valve body cover. You could have a bad coolant temp sensor.

We have to elimate things we could also do a compression test. Do you have a multi meter to do some testing?

The multi meters are about 10 or so dollars I was asking so you could test the coolant temp sensor. Thats about 11 and they fail often I would just change it and see if it starts?Also inspect the insde of the connector to it see if the terminals are blue or green instead of silver?

If you have spark the crank shaft position sensor is good when they fail you will loose spark.

I would try the coolant temp sensor like I already suggested they have a high failure rate and will cause a no start.
