    97 grand prix gt wont start... My wifes been driving it for awhile now and she told me it wasn't wanting to start at all, So I go out and look at the car and i turn the key and it starts... Next morning I come out and turn the key and nothing... the lights and radio come on but the starter isn't cranking... I put a new starter on it now and it still isn't doing anything... What do i need to check to find this problem? Any help would be great..

    check the battery......if you can jump it, get the alternator tested to see if it is working properly. If you have proper voltages from everything you might want to look into the crank position sensor, fuel pump, MAF or IAC. Check the voltages on everything, make sure the grounds are all tight and let us know if it fixes it or if you need further direction. If you get it running take it to autozone or someplace else that will check your alternator. Keep us posted. I would def start by checking the batt/alt first.
