Favorite daughter had the same problems with her 97' Lumina (about the same as the Olds only bent up different). On advice from several folks here, I checked into the "Passkey" security on this car. Seems the wiring or contacts in the ignition switch had been intermittant and then finally failed. The car was mean to get started in addition to stalling or not starting at all. I OHMed the key chip and bought a $.19, 1/2 watt resistor ($.99 for a 5 pack) and cut the 2 wires to the switch and soldered the resistor into the computer side wires and taped the switch side wires. The car runs great and starts on the first roll. The resistor is a must as it lies to the computer and says everything is ok at the switch. Just remember the theft protection is gone (so don't leave the keys in the car Einstein). Dealer will happily skin you for $500+ to change the switch, but likely the car isn't worth that much so $.19 and 20 minutes is a good alternative. Check the link. Daughter was so tickled she gave me the car and bought a new Nissan.
