some connection loose
or a bad starer
it has nothing to do with you putting your foot in the brake pedal. the time you put your foot on it and started, you just got lucky. by the way you describe it you have an ignition problem start by checking the battery terminals, they have to be tight and free of corrosion and acid. after that check the spark plugs maybe they are too worn out that are keeping the car form starting also check for spark see if they are sparking if not, you might have a bad coil.
but it seem you have a sometimes start sometimes don't situation so there is somethig loose so after checking battery and spark plugs make sure everything is connected properly the coils, and all the sensors connections wiggle them and make sure they have a good contact. the starer hot wire and ground too.
after that if it still don,t start put the parking brake turn the ignition on as if you were cranking the engine and tell some one to tap the starer with a hammer,s handle and if it stars you have a starer that have worn brushes and need to be replace. other thing you can is to jump the starer selonoid or just take the starer out and take to autozone to see if it still good.
the neutral safety swith is located in the clutch pedal on manual cars not on the brake pedal.I just bought a 1998 audi a4 but today the engine did not start?Its most likely something called a neural/brake safety switch. They are used on manual cars so they don't start on there own if parked on a steep hill but they have been incorporated into automatics lately. Meaning your foot on the brake before you can start the car.I just bought a 1998 audi a4 but today the engine did not start?your automatic gearbox ignition isolator is out of adjustment, you have to put your foot on the brake pedal to engage gear and the car will not start in gear so the switch is out of sync
