check you fuses

Usually the switch or the motor.

I don't show a dist cap available for a 3.4 V6 - so it is probably DIS.The plug wires would go directly to a set of coils.

you have screws in the steering column, take those out then you have screws in the ignition. Once you take those screws out the ignition should slide out and then just reverse the process.

Is it a center console shifter?(this model came out after i left the car business).If so,then did you spill a sugary drink on it?(I replaced the shifter cover on a Firebird 3 times on the same car because the owner left a McDonalds cup (waxed paper type) in the cupholder 3 times).The sugar glues the plastic parts together,which takes a lot of force to break it loose.If you think this could be it,take a washcloth with hot water on it and wipe it down,while changing gears,to clean it out.(in extreme cases,you might have to take it apart and clean the parts).

um instead of having to take the whole panel off thee is a lil hole under the steering wheel if you unplug it u can use a pen to bypas that switch. but it actually has to do with you brakes and the park. if you are parking on a hill alot... it will mess it up... but you have to press the brake and move the shifter at the same time and you will hear it clik(slightly so listen) . my car does it. if i thro it into park before i come to a complete stop or if im useing the parking brake alot

I have an 03 Aztek and my latch just broke the trick to getting it open is a screwdriver or a little hook of some sort... Pull the handle back and look up under u will see a metal bar on the right side. get a grip of that and pull/pry a little bit and it will open. Once open there are 2 philips head screws holding it in and that's it

do you own jack stands ???
why not jack up the drive wheels and listen for noises ?

jack each wheel up independantly and run the car for a couple of minutes this will aallow you to clear some different noises off the list
push down on the bumber and support the axcell with a jack stand more noises gone from equasion

jack the drive wheels up 1 at a time start car put in gear and run to 20 miles or 30 km chalk the other wheels and do it where you have some space incase chit happens that shouldn't
this will allow you to track the noise to it's location
