Default 95' starting problem

This darn thing is giving me and the wife the rattles. Was having a problem starting , so changed the fuel pump . Went like a charm then starting probs again. One suggested to replace the safety switch on the transmission. I went out to find the switch and the wires were loose, attached and started right up.

OKAY , I am thinking. Now, move the van to a better parking spot. Won't start..
Now I am getting POed. And the switch seems not to have any "nut" to unscrew the switch to remove it so I can replace it.
I have checked online for the replacement switch and found a bunch, but they all have a removable one "with nut" .

Starting to get ready to donate this one..
Thanks for any decent comebacks.

When you say it doesn't start, do you mean it doesn't crank over or cranks and won't start?

Turns great , has spark, .. Just replaced the safety neutral switch,yesterday, started ran round the block,, Parked on hill just in case . Shut it off ,started right up 4 times. Went out this am ,, no run. It seems ( and I just also replaced the fuel pump) that the pump only runs when it wants to?
Another ghost in the woods?
And thanks for your reply.
