    I think that PNP stands for Park-Neutral Position switch

    If your brick does not know it is in park or neutral, it will not start. Sorta like trying to start it in Drive after you left the shift lever there so you could get into the ash tray.

    If it is the pnp switch, try this:
    Turn the key to ON. Depress brake. Shift from P to L about 20 times. Try to start.

    This cleans out some of the dirt on the pnp contacts, but also means you will need to start saving for a new pnp.
