Wont start sometimes, but starts if I jiggle shifter.

Sometimes the car doesnt start, it just clicks.
This never happens on the first start, only after its been driven.

If I hold the key in the start position and I jiggle the shifter while its locked in the Park position, it will start.

If I put it into neutral and try and start, it does not start.

If I just continue to to try and start it without touching the shift lever, eventually it starts, may take 5-10 cranks.

Other things to note:
Also have code 11 Solenoid A Error Code.
RPM flair between 1st and second gear.
Small Car shift Kit installed.
Under my dashboard on the driver side there is a new looking bosh relay box. I think previous owner already did the replace the relay thing.

So what part controls where the shift lever position is? Is it adjustable? is it easy to get to? Seems like its not fully in park, or whatever tells the ignition the car is in park is out of sync with the shift lever position.
