Is this car a stick or automatic?

If an automatic, another possibility is the PNP switch. With the engine not running, but the key turned to KP II, row the shifter back and forth about 20 times. This is an attempt to clean the contacts on the switch which is located on the transmission.

If it's a stick, does the clutch have to be depressed to start the car? If yes, there is probably a switch that is near the top of the pedal that would also be suspect.
