I would do a compression test on all the cylinders, you may have a burnt valve, valvetrain problems, ie. bent pushrod, bad lifters or some bad piston rings. I would check the fuel filter also.

My 2005 Chevy Monte Carlo kind of spits and sputters while driving. What could be the problem?

There are several potential issues that could be causing your 2005 Chevy Monte Carlo to spit and sputter while driving. Here are a few possibilities:
  1. Fuel delivery issues: If your engine is not receiving the correct amount of fuel or air, it can cause hesitation or rough idling. This could be due to a clogged fuel filter, a malfunctioning fuel pump, or a problem with the air intake system.
  2. Ignition system issues: A faulty spark plug, ignition coil, or other component of the ignition system can cause misfires, which can make the engine hesitate or sputter.
  3. Emissions system issues: Your vehicle's emissions system is designed to reduce harmful pollutants in the exhaust. A malfunctioning component of this system, such as the oxygen sensor, can cause the engine to run poorly.
  4. Electrical issues: A damaged or worn electrical component, such as a sensor or relay, can cause the engine to run rough or stall.
  5. Transmission issues: If your vehicle is experiencing transmission problems, such as slipping or shifting issues, it can cause the engine to hesitate or sputter.
To determine the exact cause of the problem, it's best to have your vehicle diagnosed by a certified mechanic. They can perform a diagnostic scan to check for any error codes or issues with the engine, transmission, or emissions system.

When the ignition module starts to fail what are the changes the car make

The ignition module is the brains of the ignition spark system. If it is going bad, usually the most common type of problem is a stalling situation/no start until the module cools down and then may restart. Sometimes the modules fail and the engine will not start. It can also give the problem of the engine misfiring.

2006 monte carlo engine cranks but will not start

If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs, if spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel proper fuel pressure. Check fuel injector pulse.

Check your security system.

I have 1985 4.3 fuel injection Monte carlo that when driven for more than 20 to 30 min it will began to boog out or idle down so far that it will cut off and if u try to restart it, it wont start unle

Sound like a lack of fuel. Since you have replaced most of the ignition parts, I would look at the fuel system next.
Could be a clogged fuel filter, weak fuel pump, or pump relay.

Cylinder one on monte carlo 2003

If the code is 301 it means there is no power from that cylinder. It could be a problem with the ignition, fuel injector, or something mechanical.

2004 monte carlo ss 3.8 engine diagnostic message "cylinder 5 misfire"- will changing the spark plugs resolve this issue?

it is a good place to start, replace ignition wires and plugs, for that year 3800 i recomend autolite iridium plugs and premium 7MM wires.
once you replace the parts erase the code and see if it returns.
cylinder 5 is the 3rd counting from the left on front of engine.
