If the check engine light is on then you need to have it diagnosed. If not then replace the fuel filter.
I would replace the fuel filter and check fuel pressure. A clogged can lead to a $500.00 fuel pump replacement.
you shouldn't have to, just reset radio! if car runs funny it will be ok in a few starts.
battery light indication means a dead battery or a dead alternater/regulater or a fault in the charging/ignition system
fuel pump
Start with the battery terminals and connections on the other ends of the battery wires. Check the battery itself as a loose plate in the battery could be heating up and shorting the battery for a moment causing the problem.
I had this problem in my 1990 Ford F150. The battery cables were bad and weren't carrying the charge from the alternator to the battery
bad E G R valve or check vacum lines that connect to it foe leaks
1997 chev Malibu doesn't start but then if relay is wiggled by engine under hood car starts can this be fixed
car starts but shut off while driving
MALIBU...
starts normal when its cold then after driving bout 10 miles it starts stumbling or hiccups feels like im running out of gas and then my RPM goes up to 3000RPM up and down
could be a weak battery, not turning engine fast enough at startup. check battery voltage should be approx. 12.5 volts when not running.about 14.0 when running.
