93 Tempo

My elderly neighbor has this Tempo that he bought new and here lately it won't start occasionally. I looked at it and all the connections are clean and tight from 2 previous trips to repair shop along with a new battery. It won't click or anything. Naturally when I was there it started perfectly. I was thinking maybe starter,solenoid or Park,Neutral switch because when I tried it in neutral one time it failed to start until I moved lever,but then couldn't duplicate it again. Where it the P-N switch? It has the floor shifter.
Thanks in advance.

The Neutral Safety switch is mounted on the transmission, it fits over the Manual Lever shaft. Remove the air cleaner box and look down.
While those switches do fail occasionally, you should take a look at the ignition switch. They were very failure prone on Ford products through the 80-90s, enough to cause a recall.
