My 2000 Malibu just cruised to a stop when the fuel pump went. there was no warning. Mostly when this is about to happen I would hear a noise. Not on the Chevy Malibu though. I suspect all GM products fail similarly. So Check to see if the fuel pump is getting fuel to the engine. You can contact me at Powell1D@msn.com. I am hoping to be able to put a 3900 engine in my Malibu now. Maybe I should post it for help. I'm not sure if it will fit.
