The only thing I can think of is the parking switch sensor is not making contact. Lots of issues could prevent the car from starting. What code are you getting? Might help determine the cause.

In a standard car - there is a micro switch on the clutch peddle, I have posted on this before... if it fall off, nothing - no start... there may be something like this on the auto - as stated above --- park micro switch... do a search..

You must press the brake pedal when trying to start the car.
