'97 Firebird failing to turn on at times.
This is a recent issue i've had with my Firebird. Now what happens is when I get in the car, and put the key in, the power will turn on and every as usual, but then when I turn the key, the car just dies. The engine doesnt start and when I keep turning the key, it just stays dead.
Now I found out that if I get out and open the hood, and shake the battery a little, it'll restart and I can go back in and try to start it up again. Sometimes it'll die again, and other times it'll start up and run just fine.

Loose battery cable?
That would be my first suspect, because it is the easiest to check.
