Seized engine? Weak or dead battery? Loose or corroded battery cables? Bad starter? Bad starter solenoid? Bad neutral safety switch?

Try looking at replacing the crankshaft position sensor, i had a similar problem with my 92 lumina and i traced it back to a bad crank sensor.

Been having this problem myself with the exact car. It's the stupid "chip" key. Needs to be replaced/reprogrammed which can only be done at a Chevy dealership and can be quite expensive. Good luck.
try the fuel pressure regulator
Could be you need a new fuel idle motor. Or you need new spark plugs
If a 1997 Nissan Maxima will crank but will not start, there could be a problem with the fuel pump. Another possibility is an issue with the ignition switch.
Check your crank shaft sensor
this happen to me and turned out to be corrosion on battery terminal, clean them very good.
