Another, gear was in park, truck was actually in neutral cause it started moving forward by itself. Could the cable be too loose?

That little b*tch cost me alot of money, couldnt figure it out, replaced fuel pump, ect, figured out it was a bad connection. Just gotta give it a jiggle and it starts right up.
