Could it be the alternator? I know they are known to have issues...

It could be the alternator but I haven't heard of the alternator causing that type of problem.
 
What was the exact code? Here's a discussion on the crankshaft sensor: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=961719&highlight=star- t
 
It turns out the connecting wires to the sensor were bad which resulted in the code.

Actualy is was not the alternator. The problem was under the air filter. The housing for the filter cut into wiring harnest. I've repaired 8 wires so far,still have a few more. I hope this helps other owners with the same problem.

It has power on the small wire to starter
 
this is the wire to the solenoid after all the checks like sensor park neutral etc.
 
If it has power from this wire to ground when turning the key but no crank, then the solenoid or the starter is the issue.
 There are two coils in the solenoid to engage the heavy spring loaded lever to pull in the main contact to the starter. Once the main contact is in the second coil is cut out of the circuit and the remaining coil is sufficient to hold it in until you release the key.
 
Verify that you have a good ground to the starter. It is through the bolts to the block, which is grounded by a big ground wire somewhere.

Yes, it was the starter. The funny thing was,that I had it checked twice,and both time they told me that it was good and running strong. My olds is back..

Ok guys, after all I did to my Olds,he let me down.Finaly fixed the starting problem,and now the torque converter clutch is stuck. It start but the second you put it in gear it stalls. Picked up a 04 Grand Prix,same car ,same problems,well not yet.... Question?Can I swap starters?The one in the olds is 7days old.Acording to autozone they have the same part number except for the gp has an "s"Will it fit?Maybe some shims?
