Periodically my car won't start, then w'out service or repair it cranks again like nothing was wrong. It is beginnig to do it more frequintly someone told me it was a sensor in my break pedal. Do you have any ideas?

No it it won't crank/ turn over. It acts like the battery is dead but if I keep trying eventually it cranks right up

If the vehicle is placed in neutral will it start?

Check ignition swithc and starter relay/solenoid.

Sometimes, but messing with my gear shifter has seemed to be what gets it to start

Sounds like it very well be a bad neutral safety switch since messing with the gear shifter seams to get it to start.
