Marc,
I had a 00' expy and it would not start sometimes unless you held the gear shift all the way up.. If you look at the fuse box closest to the windshield standing on the drivers side that is where I believe that relay to be located it will show a list of them on the inside of the Lid ... Let us know how it goes

I,ve got a 89 f150 which had a similar problem a few years ago. The ignition switch on the lower steering column needed adjusted. I had to loosen the two screws on the top of it and move it slightly up the column. This allowed the linkage from the key switch to be able to engage the starter part of the ignition switch.This may not be the cause of you problem but its worth a check.
