Chevy Malibu

A jack.

I think you mights needs a 44" monkey wrench and a toggle piccost gadget thinggy. I thinks that might be the size of tools you prolly needs when chainjin breaks.

"depends on your rim/wheel sizes. typically 215-235 width and 35-55 height. Tirerack.com could help you as well."

Stock P215/60R15 i do believe.

Doing my water pump now on 2000 Malibu. First remove the tube that runs in front of the water pump by taking the 2 bolts off the motor mount and undo the plastic clamp on the hoses. Next remove the serpine belt. this is done by taking the tension off the belt. In order to do this take a 3/8 braker bar with a short piece of pipe and put in in the tensionser. Do not remove the bolt. The 3/8 squre is on the bottom of the tensioner. Apply a little pressure on the pipe and you'll be able to able to remove the belt. Now remove the 4 bolts on the water pump pully. They open to the left.( a normal therad ). Now you will be able to get at the 5 bolts on the water pump. Hope this helps

Answer From my experience the clunk sound is comming form the lower a arm and the bolt that goes straigt thru the biscuit, needs to be tightned I am not a expert but I did spend alot of time figuring it out on my car. some one else writes, did you replace the ball joints? that's the main reason why cars make a single noise while turning.

The dealer tells me it is just in front of the gas tank, may have to lower the tank to gain access.

The bezel that holds it into the door pull is only held in with a couple of tabs. With a flathead screw driver, put the end of the screw driver and pry up on the bezel and it should come free for you.

All of the wires to the switch are just clipped in. All you need to do is squeeze the clip tabs and the wires will come off of the switch.

I've also included a how to video showing this process.

Hope this helps out,

The Chevy Malibu can get between 17 and 22 miles per gallon of gas on the road. It could even get to 26 to 33 miles per galon if you are in a highway.

No, they are not.

There is no easy way to answer that question. Most classics are so old that their reliability depends on how much work is put into them. I've had a few classic cars, and the best way to make sure they are reliable is to check everything and replace what is obviously won out or rusted etc etc....

I can tell you this though, few engines are as tough as the old ford flatheads of the 1920's.

For the answer to this question, look in your owner's manual. Don't have one then get one. You need an owner's manual for the maintenance schedule and for questions just like this. Sources for a manual are: Dealer, Salvage Yard, E-Bay, and many on-line sites. Here is one site. http://www.samarins.com/maintenance/manual.html

If there is an access panel, yes. If not you will have to remove the tank.

about 30psi in the summer and 34psi in the winter on most tires. Look on the tire that you are checking and it should tell you what it requires.

Most cars have a label on the drivers door jamb that lists the recommended pressures.

Actually, the oil filters on the 2006 Malibus are located right underneath the hood in a small canister that twists on and off with a special tool. You just pull the old one out..snap in the new one and make sure it spins freely then twist it back in.

Sorry guys!

A girl had to answer that one!

That "special tool" is called a wrench. :=)

^====== Actually, it's called an "Oil Filter Wrench", thus making it a "special tool."

If you know you are getting power to the starter but the engine does not turn over when you turn the key, you probably have a bad starter. Your local auto parts store can check it for you once you remove it from the vehicle.

Before you remove the starter though make sure your battery is charged and the battery cables are in good condition and making good contact. If those things are Okay and the engine still won't turn over the starter would be the next logucal place to check. Good luck

This could be the breaks needing replaced, could be a wheel bearing that needs replaced.

no, there is not a fuse inside the fuel pump -

check to make sure you have 12 volts to fuel pump for first 3 seconds when key is on position- also check ground to fuel pump

if both of these are good and you have no or little fuel pump pressure check fuel filter or replace it-

if no or little fuel after replacing fuel filter then replace fuel pump

also don't forget to check fuel pressure regulator (although this is a rare problem among Chevy Malibu's)

could be a bad fuel pump,or just a fuse or relay burnt out!!fuses and relay are in under hood fuse box.

are you meaning EGR valve. if so it is in front of brake booster, there are 2 bolts and a steel hose running to it. take out the 2 bolts and remove hose. mounted on engine. it is round and has a set of wires running to top of it!! on top back drivers side.

a lot of 3.1 engines do this, if it is not severe then it should be ok...

You can obtain replacement ground stakes for a number of Malibu Landscape Lights, including the LZ418 series, from LandscapeLightingOnline.com . Once there, click on the Low Voltage Accessories tab and scroll down through the various stakes there.
