It could be - out of balance rims and tyres - bent rim after a pothole - worn tie rod ends - loose lug nuts - worn steering end ball joints (if fitted) - loose or worn steering box mounts and so on. Take it to a front suspension or tyre shop in case it is a sign of something serious.

Have you checked all ends of your battery cables. Loose and dirty connections will do this and just a wiggle on one may let it connect enough to start. Starter could be bad and will only work in certain spots when you try to start it.

YOU CAN RESET OPERATION BY PUSHING A SWITCH IN THE TRUNK AFTER A COLLISION.

I would get one of those cheap meters that plug into the cigarette lighter they cost about 5 dollars and it will monitor you system voltage. You might have an intermittent problem. Make sure your battery terminals are clean that means taking them off and cleaning them with a tool that brushes both sides with wire. I still think you have a bad battery or alternator. Your starter could be drawing to many amps also

it, seems to me your control module,,,is bad this control sent power to all electric components in the car and when goes bad your car wont even start I will check this control module first .. good luck....

sooooooooooo,SERVICE IT SOON!!that is why they are called idi ot lights

Make certain the battery has full power , do a load test . If the battery is good check all the connections to the starter and make certain they are good. If so good so far check your starter switch, solenoid to find out what is not connecting. Check out your neutral safety switch move the gear shifter to be sure its in the right place. The alternator only keeps the battery full, it has nothing to do with starting the car.

is the noise their when you are sitting not in gear if yes it is a good chance that is no good if in gear it could be some thing in the drive line

Possible there is a main multi pin harness plug / socket not fully connected. Has it had any work that may have disturbed anything?

It is your serpentine belt slipping on one of the metal pulleys and the friction is causing the high pitch screech. The belt may need to be tightened or replaced, which is an easy fix.

could be engine misfire. try this test take 1liter of water with 2 tablespoon of salt, engine ildling spay a little at a time on spark plug wires look for spark at ground around wires

Sounds like the gears are bad in one spot. You can try to guide it closed with someone helping you as you pull or push it into place. Otherwise: http://www.theautopartsshop.com/auto+car-usa+parts/chevrolet+monte-carlo+sunroof-motor.html

at the factory they put numbers on top of the coils to get the spark plug wires in the right order , but when you replace the coils it does not matter the numbers they all work the same what it matter is to put the right wires in it 3.8 V6 the order is in front of the car the first coil two spark plug wires # 1 and # 4,second coil #5 and #2 the next coil #3 and #6 now in front of the car wires are front left to right you got # 1# 3 # 5 on the back of the engine you got from left to right #2 # 4 #6 you get them wrong the car will misfire or it won't start ... good luck..

Can you?? Sure. Should you? Probably not. The two engines have different ECUs and aren't compatible without a lot of sensor corrections. By the time you get everything correct, you would most likely be dollars ahead to do an identical swap.

bad starter hold key on and have someone hold test light on small wire on starter or tap on starter with hammer when it acts up to verify 2 person job

just look at new part and find it on your motor I think its 2 13mm nuts in back of motor and one wire get new gasket

It's probably a hex head bit and most likely a #10 Or 3/8.

Assuming the repair is good the problem could be the brain is waiting to have the memory of the fault cleared and maybe the default values restored. I suggest you double-check the repair, the wiring and connection and then find a man with a suitable lap-top or diagnostic thingy to clear the fault, etc.
