It may be a problem with your anti-theft device. Look in your owner's manual for the procedure to reset the anti-theft system. It's a simple procedure that involves sitting in the car for ten minutes with the key on and the engine not running (since it won't start). When the anti-theft light blinks and goes off, the car should start OK.

I've just started having this problem too on my 2002 Malibu. I have found a lot of intermitted turn signal issues, especially for the 2000-01 Malibu, but I am still searching for info on the clicking (turn signal) sound from the dash.
Yes, they are separate and different.
Apply the e-brake.
it could either be a bad beattery or a bad starter
I don't know how to disable the system yet but, to reset it :insert the ignition key and turn to the on position (do not turn the key to start)leave the key in the on position for 10 minutes to reset the anti-theft systemYour Malibu should now start normally.It has been suggested on other web sites that not inserting the key all the way when trying to start the car can cause the anti-theft system to activate.On the 2002 Malibu when the anti-theft device is activated it prevents gasoline injection. Thus you Malibu acts like it's not getting any gas.
No i have a 2002 malibu that had the same problem when i checked it was the park lock switch that was causing it
For a 2001 Malibu, you leave your key in the ignition switch turned to the accessory position for 10 minutes. Turn the car off after that and then start it up like normal.
Check the Malibu crank position sensor and coil pack. One of these is the most likely cause of the loss of fire.
The 2002 Malibu had a factory recall for a defective turn signal relay. Replace and it should work fine. If you can find paper work from GM about the recall, a GM dealership should do it without charge.
No, but something that could cause uneven idle could cause the check engine light to turn on.No, but something that could cause uneven idle could cause the check engine light to turn on.
