Q: Neutral Safety Switch
My name is Chris and I recently took off my neutral safety switch and now the car doesn't not turn on or when it does turn on and I put it in drive or reverse the car stalls on me and the car seems to idle really high in park or neutral. I have checked for vacuum leaks and checked the gaskets and everything seems good. I have a 95 Mitsubishi 3000gt. Do u have any suggestions on what could be wrong?
My car has 163000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
