What is wrong with a Nissan Altima if when you put your Key in the ignition it will not crank?

There is a black unlabeled button on the right of the steering wheel press in that button if it's not because your wheels are turned to far in one direction------------------
When you insert the key, turn the steering wheel to the left and right while gently trying to turn the key. If the wheel doesn't move that much, it means that the wheel lock is engaged. This happens on my Altima frequently, usually I just have to turn left and right and the key will unlock the wheel lock.
There is also a wear problem with the Transmission/Steering wheel interlock - sometimes the Transmission range selector handle does not fully engage at the upper most end of travel - there by not allowing the key to be disengaged - to check is very simple ---- Turn off vehicle, attempt to remove key, if key fails to turn- GENTLY push forward on the Transmission Selector Level to it's limit of travel & then try turning the key to the off position - it may take a time or two but my 1997 Altima does this occasionally & this is my work around..

What is wrong with the Oldsmobile Intigue when it cuts off while your driving but it starts back up with no problem?
May be a defective ignition control module, or coilpack. I had a bad ignition switch that was cutting power to the fuel pump, when it does this listen for the fuel pump to come on before restarting. I have a 2000 Intrigue. I had the same problem and it was a crank case sensor. You might get a cheap fuel pressure gauge and hook it up. See what the fuel pressure reads when the engine dies (do this in the driveway). If the pressure is dying, try a new fuel filter. Answer Ignition switch

In general I suspect an electronic ignition component, I've seen this with a crank position sensor, ign. amplifier, and a circuit board that when it got hot it would warp flexing and creating an open in the printed circuit.
