If you know for sure that it is not getting fuel or fire, you need to check the ECM fuse. If it is good then check the relay. If you have a professional hook up a scanner then it will tell what is wrong with it. That would be cheaoer than guessing unless you have plenty of money to waste on replacing good parts.

First, locate the H and M buttons located just below the tuner knob (the lower of the two). You press AND hold either one of those buttons for a few seconds until it beeps, or the numbers are flashing. You can then use the H button to set the HOUR and M button to set the MINUTES. To finalize your time selection, just wait 10 seconds or so and the flashing should cease and your clock is SET! If it does not set after waiting, just press the POWER button to activate the radio and it will finalize the clock settings. You're welcome, olde tymer. Caleb

If it blows in the right place. The exhaust is getting into the water passage which will cause the car to overheat. Probably in just a few minutes. With the engine cold, take the radiator cap off, make sure it is full. start the car. If the head gasket is blown, water will shoot out the cap for a foot or two.

A quick fix until you have about $300 to fix it is to turn the key to the ON position for 10 minutes, and when the theft system light stops blinking you can start it right up.

You can also just slowly turn the key to the on position (not accessory or start), shift the transmission into neutral (you have to step on the break first) and then start it. This won't work if you have tried to start it and the THEFT light is flashing, see the above answer.

the quick fix is to just wait ten minutes for the theft deterant to cut off, the problem isn't realy the ignition but the system itself and its more like 600 hundred to fix at the dealership

:

Take all the other keys off your keyring, the weight of the other keys maybe causing the ignition key to be unreadable.also it depends on what is wrong with the system. if it the anti-theft system it may be very pricy, but if it is the ignition lock cylinder than it will cost you about $100 for the new lock cylinder and several hours of labor if you are very good at working with cars.

$100 for a new switch at Napa Auto Parts. Most neutral safety switches are a sealed, non reparable unit. If you are doing this yourself, I would recommend testing the wiring before replacing the unit since it is expensive. According to the Napa website, the safety switch on the 2001 Chevy Malibu does more tha simply close when in neutral, so I cannot give specifics. I recommend checking your local library to see if they have a copy of the shop manual. It will have detailed troubleshooting flowcharts to track down the exact problem.

Hello from the frigid North. Most block heaters are installed as options by the dealership in my neck of the woods. When the auto manufacturer (or importer in your case) builds the vehicle, they usually dont know if its going to wind up in Miami or Fargo, so they leave it up to the retailer to make a coupla bucks if we want to get it started at -30 below...GL

Ther are two locations. Right dash end cap and left dash end cap. To access the fuses, open the fuse panel door by pulling out.

Reinstall the door, insert the hooks at the front end first, then push the door into the instrument panel to secure it.

Back side of cover diagram will show you, also check owners manual .

I JUST wrote in here 15 minutes ago pleading for someone to answer this because I had the EXACT same problem-just replaced the cluster, tried ressetting the codes by pulling off the positive cable, and my car would not run...After reading and searching for clues and answers on this website, I found that someones answer-try to lock the car and unlock the drivers side door WITH the key- the anti theft ligh stopped flashing and the car started right up and ran fine! I hope ur as fortuante as I was cuz, man that was frustrating... Thanks a million WikiAnswers (and those who helped answer)!

The most likely evidence is an oil leak which can run on to the manifold creating smoke, depending on how bad it is. If the gaskets are bad the covers can't be tightened down suficiently to create a oil tight seal.

i use regular stp. it protects against wear , oxidation and foaming . also works in subzero temps.

first of all relieve fuel pressure at schrader valve on to back of engine, undo all wires and hoses, take off intake on top pf engine, remove the 4 bolts holding injectors on, remove electrical connectors from injectors, remove inlet line to fuel rail. Do not loose or drop O ring from fuel inlet line. just did my intake gaskets on my 3.1 that's how I know, I dropped my O ring and had to by another cause the fuel was pouring out!!

the blower motor resistor is bad or the connector going to it

you should be able to find a shop manual at the local library with the right information on this -- make copies of the pages, as they are usually for REFERENCE only...:)

there are a few things that will cause this, relay or fuse to ac blown, if low on freon ac will not work. check and see if clutch on ac motor works. if not its the relay.

The fuel filter is located under the car, in front of the rear wheel axis, positioned in the center of the car, near the gas tank.

fan belt or lots of things but most likely fan belt

there should be 3 plastic lugs behind the carpet in the trunk and all you have to do is pull the carpet back and un-screw those lugs and the light should just pop out. once you have the light out there will be a clip for each bulb. find the bulb that is bad and there will be a plastic piece that you have to press and turn the whole piece then the clip will come off the taillight and the bulb will come with the clip. to remove the bulb just press the bulb down and twist it and it will come out of the harness.

I have a 1998 Malibu and we gap at the middle of .060. Perhaps our cars are similar at this point, check!

i am looking for fuel pump for 99 Chevy Malibu where fuel loacation please tell me now

The guides are probably bad from the engine heat and wear.

When the tensioner has been replaced, you must take something like a small screw driver and press the little plunger, that pushes out the shoe, all the way in and then it will release the lock and apply pressure against the shoe. Most people think that the oil pressure releases it but it doesn't, the oil pressure will keep the pressure against it only after you unlock it by pressing it all the way in.

Check front end components i.e tie rod ends ball joints, struts and strut mounts for wear and looseness

the code means: random/multiple cylinder misfire detected, po300, it could be wires,spark plugs, bad coils, etc.

it proply your sending unit in your gas tank drive safe
I am having the same promblem with my 2006 Trailblazer. The research I did on it points to the sending unit.

Technically, quite a while. You'll just find that your mileage goes down the drain. It will also eventually destroy the catalytic converter.

1. Remove the brake hose to caliper bolt from the brake caliper.

2. Remove the brake hose from the brake caliper.

3. Remove and discard the 2 copper brake hose gaskets. These gaskets may be stuck to the brake caliper and/or the brake hose end.

4. Cap or plug the opening in the brake caliper and the brake hose to prevent fluid loss and contamination.

5. Remove the 2 brake caliper pin bolts. Remove the park brake cable from the caliper.

6. Remove the brake caliper from the brake caliper bracket.
