UNFORTUNATELY, I have a 2001 Malibu and have had gaskets replaced three times now (intake and head) to fix coolant leaks. My sister and mom both have the same engine in their cars and have similar problems. Apparently this engine is prone to coolant leaks (which are pricey to repair).


Where is the fuel level sensor on a 2006 Chevy Malibu?

On the 2006 Chevrolet Malibu the fuel level sensor is a separate part. I know this because I have to buy one because ours broke around 20,000 miles. We are at 72,000 miles now and just investigated into it. To buy it from Chevy it's about an $193.00 part and that's from a Chevy dealer. I have seen them other places online but I am skeptical of purchasing from a place I don't know. It takes about 3 hours labor to install as well. Hope this helps :)

Where is the camshaft position sensor A in a 2000 Chevy Malibu 3.1L V6 there is 3 camshaft sensors on this car which one is sensor A?

I only know of 1 cam sensor on the 3.1! it is under power steering pump. remove pump, do not take off hoses just set it aside. now you can see sensor, remove bolt that holds sensor, and remove sensor by pulling straight up.
