Ok, so you put key in ignition and nothing- is the engine cranking over?- yes- check gas level and see if fuel is going to fuel rail at engine- if no crank, check battery charge and check starter

if those are not part of problem and nothing happens you can check fuses and relays and last, the ignition itself -- don't let lots of keys be on ring with ignition key- it will ruin ignition over time--
good luck

Changed the battery from my 07 saturn sky now the car wont start all the lights are in the dash board but just wont start

If the anti theft indicator remains on when you turn the key to the on position then you'll need to reset.

To reset the system, get in the car and shut the door. Turn the key on to the "Run" position without cranking the engine. Leave in run position exactly 10 minutes. Turn the key to the off position without removing it and back to "Run" for 10 more minutes. Turn the key off again and back to "Run" for 10 minutes a third. Turn the key off and then attempt to start the engine.

Key wont go in to lock position. Now, battery has 13 volts but car wont start all lights come on 2006 monte carlo

To remove key (lock position), the transmission needs to be in PARK.

To start (engine crank), the transmission must be either in PARK or NEUTRAL.

Try apply parking break, put transmission in neutral and turn ignition key. If engine does not crank, turn and hold key in start position then move transmission selector to see if there is a transmission select position where it does crank.

Turn key to start-engine turns and i have spark wont start

I would check fuel pressure so you can rule out pump. I had a bad pump right out of the box before. Also you may want to change fuel filter so you can rule out plugged filter. You have spark, sure seems like still no fuel.

Used wrong key to start engine, now real key wont turn over engine

You will have to reprogram your key. To do this:

Try using old key turn from "Off to on" not starting car 7 times--remove and insert new key use same procedure--then try to start w/new key.
If you have 2 "old" keys do the same thing with 2nd old key before using new one.
