How do you change the fuel pump on a 1997 Chevrolet Malibu. What tools are needed?

i have a 2000 Malibu. i have an inside the fuel tank pump, i don't know what u have, i would assume the same. if u have the same as mine, you have alot of work ahead of you. first, u need to use up almost all of your fuel, because you will have to take fuel tank down. 2 metal straps hold it up, u will need sockets and / or wrenches. you will have to disconnect a couple of fuel lines and a vent line, they are on top of tank, that's why you have to let it down. a cap on top u will have to unsrew it, then pull out pump, u may have to giggle back in forth to get it out. i bought a kit from auto zone and just replaced a couple of parts. you will need a floor jack to help you support the tank, its nice to have some help but u can do it alone. it can take several hours. hope this helps

How do you change the lowbeam bulb on 2001 Chevy Malibu LS?

Not sure this is the proper way, but seemed the easiest at the time. I turned my front wheels to the left to allow me to loosen the plastic wheel well cover. About 4 plastic plugs hold it into place. Then it was just a matter of reaching in and un-screwing the back of bulb, about a quarter of turn and it comes out. Then unlatch the plug that is pushed into the rear of bulb and remove it. Then take new bulb and slip it onto the wire plug. Then just insert the bulb into the housing and turn it quarter turn and that's it. I am sure there is another way, but I have not found it.

What part of the engine will coolant boil first?

The cylinder head

The cylinder head area is the area where coolant will boil first if coolant is present. The area directly above the combustion chamber will get hot first, which is the bottom area of the cylinder head. The old saying that heat rises is still true. Heated coolant will usually exit the upper radiator hose to the radiator and as coolant is cooled in the radiator, it will circulate down into the block where it will be heated again to repeat the cycle. The coolant pump present in most engines just helps this natural cycle.

Where is the relay for the hazard lights on a 2002 Malibu?

I know this doesn't directly answer your question but will add some insight into your problem.

Where's the relay switch for turn signals on a 2002 Chevy Malibu?

If you mean the turn signal flasher it is located under the dash near the steering column.If one side still flashes, turn on that sides signals and track down the clicking sound.
