So why not jus start it in neutral. It's just a car. Don't dump too much money into it. When a simple fix will suffice.
A few years ago I had a Impreza and the key would not start the car. A new steering column was needed. But wait! Even half of the wrecking yard parts had the same problem.
So instead weAdded a push button starter button instead. $7 vs $575.
Let me think. What is one to do?
The car is still running fine.

you may have to reset the computer!
A good trick is to put a 9 volt battery wired to a cigarett plug which stops this happening [saves the memory] while removing the 12 volt battery

There is most likely too much play in the shifter linkage. Block the wheels on the truck and crawl under and watch the linkage as someone moves it back and forth from park to low. There is probably a lot of play in it and you will have to get that out. I'm not as familiar with that body style as I am with the pre 88 but it is similar. There should be a threaded part on it to make adjustments. Only turn it a couple of turns and then check it. If this won't fix it then you will probably have to get inventive and make some bushings and spacers. Seems to me that the last time I went to the dealer looking to fix sloppy linkage, my wallet got scared. I used copper pipe to make bushings and washers to take the side play out of joints. Hope this helps.

The car dont want to start at the park position.but at the neutral position the car start.

Your neutral saftey switch is broken. This is the switch that ensures the car is either in park or neutral when you start it. The switch for the park is worn out.
