Default 97 Accord 4cyl Auto I need to roll the car before it will start sometimes?

Happens once a day when doing a lot of in and out of the car. Put it in park, turn off the ignition. When I come back to the car to start it, the car will just turn over and not fire. If I put the car in Neutral and move the car a couple of feet it will start. Sometimes I have to put it back in park but other times I don't. It is quite intermittent. Could it be my Neutral switch?

I would say next time it doesn't start to immediately check for fuel at the rail. This could be the infamous main relay issue.

also, if you got fuel, use a spark tester to check for spark, it's important to use a tester so you don't get false positives using a screwdriver

If it was me, I would stop by a place like AutoZone and have the charging system checked for free.
