  might be a neutral safety switch. Try starting with shifter in neutral position. Even though it still might not start, it may still be this switch. Might also be theft deterent system.

  I had this problem with a 1995 Grand AM 3.1 and it turned out to be a loose ground wire on the frame that is above the radiator and near the center. I first replaced the neutral safety switch which was medium difficulty but did not fix the problem.

  it could be a loose or damaged internally battery cable . if the battery is not mounted securely or loose , it could be moving around and causing your battery cable to move also .
