You either have a defective starter drive or the flywheel has damage teeth. Remove the starter and inspect it and the flywheel.

I have 98 grand prix ignition is stuck in start had to pull fuel pump fuse but cant shut car off lights are still on

Suggest disconecting the battery. Then you can work on the problem. it is not clear if the issue is the key stuck in the start position in the iginition switch or if the starter motor is stuck (running) after the car starts. If it the starter motor is running... Time for a new starter. If it is the ignition switch, try
pushing the key in and turning back off. Still stuck? Try pulling pn the key and turning off. Either way, if it is the key, yime for a new ignition switch.

How do I fix a remote car starter on a Pontiac grand prix 2008. Information screen says starter disengaged

Sounds like a battery issue. First have battery checked on car. If that checks ok then check battery in your fob. If that checks ok then check for good continuity of your battery cables.

Plenty of power turn key car just clicks 1999 pontiac grand prix

have you checked power and signal at the starter motor, the large wire @ the starter will have battery voltage at all times and the smaller "signal wire" will have power only when the ignition cylinder is being cranked, if both ok then you will have a stuck/seized solenoid on the starter . lightly tapping the starter motor while "cranking " will sometimes allow the vehicle to start.

1995 grand prix se

the starter could be shot, try having someone tap on it with a hammer or breaker bar while you turn the ignition. if it starts then you know you need to replace the starter. if not message me back and i'll be more than happy to help you trouble shoot the problem further

2000 Grand Prix won't start

Sure sounds like a flat battery.Could also be loose or poor connection with the main battery cables.Try running a wire from the positive terminal of the battery directly to the starter solenoid,if you leave ignition on vehicle should start.If the battery has collapsed a cell jump starting does not always work.You must confirm by swapping the battery to eliminate it as the cause of your fault as any tests are useless unless you do so.let me know once youve confirmed battery is ok.
