If the car starts and runs fine when you first start it in the morning or when its cold from sitting for a few hours after driving it but won't start if you drive it somewhere and get the car upto operating temp and then shut the car off and try to restart it with a few mins or upto a half hour basically when the car is hot then you might be looking at a bad crankshaft position sensor. A bad crankshaft position sensor can keep the car from starting mostly when its hot. If the engine control module doesn't see that signal it doesn't know the engine is running so it never sends fuel to the injectors.

I can't get the brakes to bleed

Do you have someone slowly pressing on brake
pedal,as you open the bleeder valve & close before
the pedal reaches the floor & repeat 8 times or so

You never pump brakes when driving or bleeding

Do not let the master run dry or you start over

I never had that issue in 48 years & I have no special
abilities

Loud knocking

Sort of sounds like the timing belt broke-- if you have one

The valves may have hit the pistons & that is why it won't turn over

I don't know any of that is true & won't wish it on anyone,but
it is a place to start

Steering wheel wont unlock and key wont turn, tried turnin key and steering wheel, Am I supposed to have someone turn key while I shake the actual wheel? thxs, jon

They do stick from time to time, check the key is not bent. also adjust the hieight of the steering wheel. if you have parked it with the wheels turned in or out then you need to return it to the position faceing the way the wheels do. it can feel very stiff but have a go should do it, careful with the key. if you can get someone to help then do.

Always park your wheels straight!!!

'05 Chevy Malibu Wil Not Start

is the security light blinking on the dash? If so you need to rreprogram the key to the anti theft module. to do this, turn key to on...let sit for about 10 min or so until the security light flashes. turn key off.. count o 5. vehicle should start. if not then it will have to go to the dealer to have it specifically reprogrammed as the PCM and anti theft modules both no longer reconize the key code.
