Vehicle won't start, it's just ticking. is it the starter?
SOURCE: I have a 2005 Pontiac Montana, will not start
Need more info....such as, does it crank over with the battery ?
SOURCE: vehicle will not start, no power to starter
Continue tracing back to the ignition/starter switch and associated fuses.

Sounds like a low battery to me. Try jump-starting it or connect a battery charger to it for a while to make sure the battery is fully charged, then try to start it again....If it is in fact a starterproblem, you will not be able to jump-start it. If your battery has not been replaced in the past...it is overdue. (Most batteries only last 4 to 4-1/2 years)

2001 Pontiac Montana, Been in and out of shop a year now. Started when I had a starter replace. It will crank multiple times for a day or two. Not getting any bad codes from computer. Have had every sensor replaced. Let it set for a few days it will crank for a day...the next moring it will not crank for days. Wiring has been run and checked, fuel pump comes on, started is engageing fine. One mechanic said it was not getting fire, he replaced a unit on the back of the engine that usualy goes bad...still wont crank...the next day it cranks. i am about to redy to give up.....but it has low miles. need some help.

The problem is most likely a bad connection at the battery or the underhood fuse panel behind the battery. Recheck these connections and included the ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor (wires and harnesses).
Fuel system? Relative to how gasoline engines work, one that has sat during the
8-hour workday is nearly as 'cold' as one which has sat overnight
(overnight will dip mebbe 30*F more, but this is practically irrelevant
to an engine). The one major variable is volatility of the gasoline, which is affected
by atmospheric temp especially when the engine isn't warmed-up. Starting this month (and continuing until fall) the 'blend' of gasoline
will change from 'winter' to slower-vaporizing 'summer' in most regions
of the country; you may have it now, or from some specific gas station.
If the car's Inlet Air Temperature (IAT) sensor (in the airbox), is
faulty and reading too high, then the combination could push your engine
'over the edge' in terms of the PCM trying to set the proper richness
for 'cold start.'
