OK...I have an '00 A4 1.8t Quattro Automatic; bone stock. I dropped it off with the garage last night and when I went today to go get it, it would not start. The battery is fine; even tried jumping to make sure it was not just low. I checked all the fuses that are beside the steering wheel, but I cannot seem to find any other fuse boxes.

I just got the car, so I do not have any manuals or the VEXCOM system, so Im kind of at a short of what to look for. I am in the process of trying to locate the ECU and unplug it to see if that works.

The ECP(or EPC) light stays on as well as the CEL and the Airbag and Seatbelt light. The display says its usual 'push brake to shift' decree. All functions work; I tried setting the factory alarm, then disabling it again, bt to no avail. Made sure it was in park; tried starting it from Neutral. I do have an OBD scanner and I got code PO304, which I believe is a misfire code on cylinder 4, but I do not have my manual with me, so I could be wrong. I went ahead and cleared the code.

Any advice/experience would be greatly appreciated.
