It could also be the brake light switch up by your brake pedal mount. If the spring let go in the switch it won't come out of park. Switches are only around $20

When I start my car in the morning, the engine seems to have a misfire, but when the engine warms up the misfire stops. What could cause this. 3 answers

Replaced spark plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, intake gaskets, and ignition coil. When I take off a plug wire from the distributor, I see scratch-like markings on the terminal.
