    I suspect you have an Idle Air COntrol (IAC) issue. It controls the idle speed by metering air into the throttle body.

    A computer scan will give you the fault code.

Where is the interlock switch to get my 2005 ford freestyle out of park it's stuck

hey! Jasmine first check that the fuse for the brake lights is not blown there's a safety thing that will not let you shift out of park if the fuse is blown /// next if O.K. you must check the brake light switch on the frame where the pedal is under the dash if lights are working then the interlock switch is on the steering column here's the connector that you'll look for

but is the shift lever very loose if it is try to push it forward and all the way to the left and it should start was somebody yanking on the shifter trying to get it out of park without there foot on the brake they could have broken the shift tube so the transmission is not all the way in park and the neutral safety switch is stopping you from starting because now it's not in the right position

Hello Heather, Sometimes you can't shift out of Park unless you push on the brake pedal and sometimes turn the steering wheel. Good luck.

Noise from engine or transmission cant tell

The sound could also be from the fuel pump. This comes on a cold engine. The way to sort it is to change your driving technique. Do not accelerate too much till the temp gauge starts showing the change. for the first minute or two if you do not accelerate too much then you may not hear the sound the rest of the day. Let the engine/fuel pump warm up a little and then you drive your normal self.
