***I AM NO MECHANIC***, but I am the owner of a 1998 Pontiac Firebird myself, and this is what I might speculate: It sounds like a possible dead battery which- if not caught/determined quickly enough -may have inadvertently killed the alternator. That or the third possibility is a dead starter motor (about $400 shop repair).

WHAT I MIGHT SUGGEST/THE CHEAPEST THING TO TRY: Cleaning off the battery terminals with a brush. Disconnect the negative & positive cables, looking for white powdery corrosion. Sometimes corrosion will keep the battery from kick starting the engine.
