On the Malibu the Thermostat should be if I'm not mistaken Somewhere near the Manifold it looks like a copper colored spark plug it's thin and you should be able to remove it by using a small open ended wrench after you remove the sensor wire.
Um, no. That is an oxygen sensor. The thermostat is located on the driver's side of the engine, underneath the airbox intake and throttle body. Follow the hose that comes up from the radiator and you will see a metal tube that attaches with two bolts. This is the housing. The thermostat is inside that.
Give me a diagram of the location of the thermostat on a 2001 Chevy Malibu

The 1981 Chevy Malibu 350 engine thermostat is located on the front of the engine. You can follow the water supply hose from the radiator to the thermostat.
Where is the thermostat located at on a 2004 Chevy Malibu 3.5 liter V6
It is located underneath the throttle cable assembly, behind the exhaust manifold. It is no shade tree mechanic job to replace this.
Most stats are located in the thermostat housing at the bottom of the upper radiator hose.
is this a 3.1l v6 or 2.4l 4cyl?
The thermostat on a 1999 Chevy Malibu 2.4L is located on top of the engine, in the intake manifold. It is within its own housing which is connected to the upper radiator hose.
Drain the radiator. The thermostat is in a housing connected to the water pump. Remove the housing to replace the thermostat and gasket.
