The Malibu might have a problem with the vapor canister. If the canister is clogged up the fuel tank will not vent right and the car will be hard to start.
check for spark
Run a compression test. If compression in all cylinders is low, it's probably the timing chain.
If its the same as my 2001 malibu, you turn the key to the on position leave it on for about 10 mins. When the security light goes off turn the key to off. You should then be able to start the engine normally. Its the worst system ever devised.
fuel filter,pump,pressure regulator? security sensor issue? The fuel pump may not be working, if the fuel pump relay (if installed), is bad
A faulty fuel pump will make a 1996 Chevy Tahoe hard to start after it sets for a few hours. The pump can allow fuel to leak back into the gas tank and starve the engine for fuel.

Yes, you can jump start a 2002 Chevy Malibu. Remember to connect the right connections in order to preserve your battery.
If the check engine light is illuminated, start with scanning for codes.

The engine needs fuel, compression and spark to run. You are missing one of those. Whoever did the install forgot something.
