SOURCE: How do I change a 98 chevy malibu starter?
Locate the starter, it goes into the bellhousing of the transmission, that is where the engine and tranny meet. Easiest way is follow the wires coming from the positive battery post. It will be a big one. There are usually only two bolts holding it on. But first remove the wires going into it. Be careful with the main one coming from the battery, it is not fused and if grounded long enough will blow your battery up.
SOURCE: cannot connect the negative battery terminal without spark or starter turning over
You will need new igniton cylinder. Sounds like you have a short in the cylinder.
SOURCE: can't find negative connection on remote terminal battery
Just attach the negative cable to any metal ground. This will protect the battery in the Olds and still enable you to jump start your car. Best of luck.
