Intermittent starting problem on an 2007 honda Accord Auto 4 cyl . Battery is new and all dash lights come on when key is turned to start and nothing happens no sound at all. Shake shift leaver or move from P to N and try staring again and most times starts immediately but sometimes you have to move shifter back and forth many times before it will start. Seemd to happen in spells initially,but it's becoming more frequent. Car starts strong when it does,so I'm thinking the starter might still be okay (might be wrong though). What could be wrong? I don't want to change starter and still have this issue.

tighten your battery connection, a loose connector will cause that.

the battery connection is tight.the dashboard lights are always on and is as bright as it should be when this happens.I don't think it has to do with battery connections

If you try to start once and its not working have someone get under the car and tap on the starter with hammer/wood as you turn the key, if it starts immediately. Means you need a new starter/solenoid

Initially when it started, each time it occured, my mechanic will just place his hand where the starter is and it would start immidiately.

The fact that I can always start by shifting the stick to neutral each time it occurs is confusing.I read somewhere that it could be the neutral safety switch that is faulty.what ever that is, I don't know.I just don't want to start changing parts unnecessarily.

its ur parking pawl...its getting weak, its not sitting properly............it tells the ecm that ur car is in park so it can start..as u know automatics dont start in any other gear apart from park...

Change your gear selector range switch. Better still, try another one on just to have a quick check. I have a feeling that it may be faulty.
