DTC - 44 Oxygen sensor error (lean condition indicated)
The head gasket on a 1999 Chevy Malibu is replaced by removing the coolant, intake manifold, and retaining bolts. The cylinder head can then be removed, the gasket replaced, and everything reassembled.
From your description it sounds like the same problem I have had with my 94. I replaced the fuel Injectors and that fixed it right up. hopefully that helps. Take it to a qualified mechanic for a diagnostic Check for computer signal, ECT, noid pulse,
yes. a 4.3 is the same as a small block Chevy for most everything except missing 2 cylinders
No spark? Have you replaced the ignition module inside the distributor? That would be my guess.
had the same problem with a sibring,took to the garage,they replaced the thermostat and gasket and found a hairline crack in the thermostat housing they replaced the housing and everything was fine then
I also have a 2000 Venture same problem. Solution was tire balance weights fell off. They were replaced and problem resolved but....the tires were worn irregularly on the inside and I had them replaced.

There are two causes for this. The first thing would be the fuse could be blown, if this isn't the case then the relay switch will need replaced.
Fuses or the power window relays.
never needs to be replaced
A faulty EGR valve can cause a 98 Chevy to fail a smog test. The oxygen sensors should also be tested as they can also cause a 98 Chevy to fail a smog test.
bad clutch, bad pressure plate, throw out bearing, air in the hydraulic lines...etc
