Check the neutral safety switch set it to neutral or jumper it and see if it starts. You may need to adjust or replace it.

actually i have another question, cause my car didnt start again and i had to jump it witht he battery again, it looks like theres alot of crap on the positive post of my cars battery, would that cause the non starting? if it can ill take the time to clean it with a wire brush. also, im about to run two 760 watt amps with my stereo, will that be abad for my battery? if its not starting now, is it going to be even workse? i just bough a new battery a couple of months ago. thanks for the help.

Yea that corrosion on the post is bad. Brush it off and get the inside of the cable connector while you are at it.

If you're putting a huge system in like that, I'd suggest a higher output alternator. You can get yours re-wound or I think you can buy them.
