Rock it back and forth with pressure in either direction on gear selector. Manual or auto can have a safety switch after 1991. If sensor fails to detect park or neutral, no start.

P0171 is a LEAN code for cylinder bank 1

That means your car is getting a lot of air and not enough fuel which will make the engine Misfire and rough idle. Well i can say check your mass air flow for any dirt in it and the EGR for any leaks. And also the fuel pump and the fuel lines or any restricted fuel filter. Good luck bro

That means the computer dont see your key code or its the wrong code...Fords bad about the anntenna which is located around the switch going bad..You have to take off the plastic shroud around the steering wheel to see it..First try a different key first..If you got a spare..Other than that you have to have a scanner to see whats going on..Good Luck

Not a super cab don't know of makes a difference or not .I did go back n forth even held it tight in park. No luck.
Neutral switch could be tested but that requires a voltmeter and body contorsion. Replacement is not too bad. About $17.
