Im assuming you're saying it will NOT start. If thats the case but the engine turns over then there could be three possible problems. Number one is no fuel or fuel pressure, number two, no spark from your spark plugs or number 3- bad ignition module. if these are good, then it could be more severe such as bad computer, bad crank shaft sensor....etc....in any case, checking for fuel problems or ignition problems is the first thing you should do.....most likely, it's one of those 2 faults.......good luck

I would have to agree. The ignition switch is most likely the problem. If you replace it then you should solve the problem. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. I hope this helps you out.

My Buick Regal GS 98' has electrical issues, wont start, or if It does sometimes the dash goes crazy, or it stalls. Have replaced the turn switch. Could the power windows on driver side be problem? How do...

I had the same problem with my 98 regal. I replaced a wiring harness on the steering column that has heavy gadge wires coming from the fire wall and going to a small black box directly below the ignition switch.Since I replaced it I have not had any problems

Car will turn over but won't start

The most common defect is the ignition switch on GM models that utilizes similar ignition switch. One symptom will be the dash will flicker and the engine will buck and then when the ignition is turned off theres a No-Start condition.
