I have a 1996 buick regal v6. The car runs fine, but sometimes when i got to start it it won’t start right away. Everything turns on (lights, dash, etc) excepts it won’t start and there is no noise, i just turn it all the way over and it clicks but no other major noises happen. Eventually, if i keep at it it will turn over, but only after a take it out of park and put it in nuetral and then put it back and repeat (I’m pretty sure this doesn’t help, but makes me feel like I am doing something). I checked all the fuses, even the big ones under the hood and none are broken. Is it the sign of a new ignition switch being needed? I’m at a loss. Sometimes it starts right up and sometimes it doesn’t. Seems to be no ryhme or reason to it. Any help would be great. I know I’m asking a bit much considering the vehicle in question  
  
  
  
 Thanks a lot!
