Re: 98 grand am gt not starting/ Brakes

if you have drum brakes on the rear wheels a leaky wheel cylinder will coat the shoes with brake fluid causing them to lock up until the brake fluid gets burned off after a few minutes of driving.

The starting issue sounds like the passlock (antitheft) ignition lock is beginning to fail.
