Bad lock. Before you replace it try this. With the red tube attached, spray a SMALL amount of WD-40 or Lock De-Icer inside the key hole. Work the key back and forth in the OFF position and see if that helps. DO NOT spray a bunch into the key hole. I love/hate WD-40 . . . .

shift cable is probably broken

What size engine? It should be where the upper radiator hose is attached to the engine.

Any mainstream auto parts store will have a suitable replacment battery for your car. Try Autozone, Advance Auto or Pep Boys.

FIRST: oil the plug (I know it sounds redundant)
1. breaker bar instead of ratchet wrench (buy one if you dont have one)
2. extension bar on breaker bar handle
If Getting desperate:
1. buy a new oil pan plug
2. use a damaged/rounded extraction socket on a breaker bar.
3. use an extension handle on the breaker bar handle
Be prepared to buy (and install)a new oil pan if the threads on the oil pan are ruined.

Installing a new oil pan is "easy" for experienced mechanics, but
replacing one can be involved for 1st-timers - and you'll usually want to buy (and install) a new oil pan gasket with the new oil pan.

That's everything from breaker bar (your minimum for stuck bolts) to replacing plug and pan (the worst-case scenario).

something is wrong, pull the codes and go from there. Your car suffers from water intrusion on the sensor wiring, especially the sensor below the radiator area...

Most likely a battery problem. There may be enough power in the battery to illuminate lights, play the radio, etc, but a lot of power is required to crank the engine over. You have a couple of choices on what to do next: 1st, make sure the battery terminals have a tight connection, and there is no corrosion visible (this can cause your problem) If connections are clean and tight, get a jump start and bring the car to a parts store where they can check the battery and charging system. If you can't get a jump start, remove the battery and bring it to the store for a free check of it's condition. I'm guessing from here that the battery is shot. Is it the original? Let me know if you need more help.

Be sure its all the way in park or try neutral.Its possible that security system does not recognize the key. Is security light flashing or on steady? Shut all doors and windows,trunk,hood, turn off all accessory's,roll down drivers window, turn key off and remove for at least 1 minute, insert key into ignition, try to start leaving key to run position for 20 minutes, turn key to off,wait 15 seconds, try to start again leaving key to run, wait 20 minutes, turn key off,wait 15 seconds, try to start, This should relearn key code. It may relearn after 1 learn cycle and start if system is ok. Hope this helps and that the weather is dry and warm for this procedure!.. i think this may solve ur problem..

one of two things could cause this first a/c system could be out of r134 freon, second indash blend air door could be broken. i would check a/c system for proper charge first.

sounds like it is just tempreture changes as the metal lines go from a cold stage to warming up it is not unusal and will not hurt a thing

BEST TO LET GARAGE DO IT DONT COST MUCH.THEY HAVE EQUIPMENT TO ADJUST HEADLIGHTS.IF YOU DO IT YOURSELF. AND DONT ADJUST THEM RIGHT YOU COULD BLIND OTHER DRIVERS WITH YOUR HEAD LIGHTS

Common problem for GM. Check your negative battery cable. Where the battery connects to the cable, there are rubber ends that can get caught in between the connections. I use washer on many gm battery connections.
