Turn your steering wheel left or right side. If it moves, then good for you. But if doesn't, it probably means that locking system in the steering wheel is damaged. For this, you can just turn the steering wheel opposite to the direction of the car wheels. Most of the time, cars are turned off with the wheels turned on the opposite directions, which makes the key get stuck in the ignition due to pressure in the steering wheel. When the pressure is released from the steering column, a click can be heard and key is released.

If no luck, there might be a problem with shifter mechanism, which means that you have a trip to the repair shop in store for you. Get this problem addressed immediately, as it could mean that your shift interlock is out of order, which can increase the chances of deploying the air bag up in your face, causing a serious injury.

pull the fuse or relay the the fuel pump and release the pressure and catch the fuel at the filter and replace

this sounds like the timing is out, backfires, have you tried checking the plug wires, spark plugs, and did you reset the code after installing the MAF sensor?

Go buy a repair manual at parts store for the vehicle and it will tell exactly what you need it is a little hard to describe over the computer. The procedure is not hard and the same for each cylinder but you have to rotate engine like four times as you can get 2 cylinders at a time.

Check the fuel pressure. Sounds like a weak pump.

could ge a leaking injector flooding the engine at start up, or coolant getting into the combustion chamber, either intake or head gasket, do a pressure leakdown test on both fuel and coolant,

I think it is on top of the ac compressor,if not,follow the large ac line until you come to it.Rate please.

im sure i can help you but tell me the problem.a fast hint and im only thinking what your problim is.you have a bad ground somewhere in your system you have a loose ground.or as its known as a bad earth .adrian,,,,

you can bypass the entire system. There is a great write-up here: http://newrockies.ca . This was the only system that saved my Park Avenue.

My first guess would be the low side pressure switch, If you have checked all fuses?

sounds like your transponder key

Can you tell me if there is any spark?

The interlock solenoid is probably sticking. If you didn't already find out about this, you can work around this problem by turning the key just to where the column unlocks but the switch isn't "on", press the brake, and shift out of park. Joe

should be able to shift when u press brake pedal, if not press pedal and see if brake lights work if brake light switch is bad this can effect the shift control. if this is not issue then the shifter is jamming and the stifting linkage is most likely worn or out of alignment and should be repaired

GM is known for falty power window motors,it is common for them to go bad. replace them. all you can do..

It's located behind the left rear tire behind the quarter panel. Good luck and hope this helps. 

Dude, just take a rubber mallet and hit the key moderately. This will fix the problem. I had the same thing go wrong with my van.

Likely you have a valving problem or obstruction within the system. To do any real a/c work, you need a Set of gauges so you can monitor both high and low side pressures. Additionally you need an evacuation pump in order to remove any air and moisture in there, neither of which are good. You also need some experience doing this kind of work. Third, I have recently spoken to an a/c guy I know and he told me that the sealers they put in many of those cans will gum up and destroy the expensive machine used by most shops that do this kind of work...making me wonder what it does to the car's system itself??? A short burst of freon without sealers or dyes is OK to add to a system that is just a little warmer than it should be, but otherwise either get the correct tools and some training, or leave this work to the pros.
