2000 Vw Beetle Won't Start

I Have A 2000 Vw Beetle That Will Not Start Sometimes. It Is An Automatic. If I Put It In Neutral It Will Start. Does Anyone Have Any Idea What The Problem Might Be?

I think there is a gear lever selector position device that only allows the starter to operate if in PARK or NEUTRAL.....if this is out of adjustment it will cause your problem.
