Sounds like the alternator if you have replaced the battery. check at the battery posts with a meter when running the vehicle should charge at around 14 volts if you are not getting that with the vehicle running you need to have the alternator checked.

SOURCE: 2000Silverado 5.3 Battery light is on

Something is draining your battery overnight and once you start running it, it recharges your battery. If you have anything plugged into your cigarette lighter, unplug them. Unplug anything that you can, like if you have an amplifier for your stereo or anything else. Tonight unhook your negative terminal, and then hook it up in the morning and if it is ok, then you know that is definitely your problem.

98 monte carlo loses power it jerks 8t will go then hesitates and then full power bad miss r fuel filter changed fuel filter also computer checked says a emission control valve give something put new one...

I would have the DIS module checked, most all national parts store chains can check them for free. If the DIS checks good, I would have the catalytic converter checked.

Oxygen sensor readings go to 0 at wide open throttle

I suspect your catalytic converters are the culprit. Once they become clogged, they will rob your engine of power and provide false readings to the O2 sensors.

I would also check the compression on all cylinders to ensure you do not have any valves burnt or not seating completely.

Finally, these aluminum engines are notorious for blowing head gaskets, although I am still leaning towards the catalytic converters. FYI - there should be O2 sensors pre and post cat, which should help with troubleshooting.

I hope this helps.

Got a 2006 Monte Carlo 3.5....I went out to start it and it is just completely dead. The keychain for the lock/trunk etc won't even get a response?

Sounds like dead battery check battery voltage with a multimeter it should read between 12-12.6 volts anything less than 12 volts you'll need a new battery.

2002 monte carlo fuel gauge doesnt work,pump works ok.

It is likely the fuel level sending unit. I had a customer with an 03 Monte Carlo that the pump went out and the fuel gauge hadn't worked in about a year. We replaced the fuel pump module and it took care of both problems. I believe the sending unit is available separately from the complete module.
