follow the wiring and check for a loose/broken wires, most likely on the ground the side
i would like to know what would cause the miss firing in Chevy Malibu
frozen pulley
bearings
There can be several things that will cause your 2003 Chevy Malibu to run rough and not shift into fourth here. The probable cause is a lack of fuel. Due to a bad fuel injector.
Yes, and that will cause shifting issues.
YES
Rods and Rocker arms were the problem with my Malibu after changing lifters
A bad cylinder head gasket.
You can tell if the transmission, in your 1998 Chevy Malibu, is going bad. If there is a whining or clunking noise. The transmission might cause your engine to install when you are stopped with your foot on the brake.
Check the Malibu crank position sensor and coil pack. One of these is the most likely cause of the loss of fire.
A faulty crank sensor would cause no spark and no fuel.
there is no fuse i beleave just for the right headlight, i presume your right headlight is not working, do you have xenon or halogen bulbs, if you have xenon then the most likely cause is headlight xenon control modules, if the module is the cause i would sudjest replacing both headlight modules, and the front right xenon bulb. good luck.
