Chevy Malibu

there is a service bulletin on this take it to your dealer

Fix: Clean throttle plate with carb cleaner, make sure to scrub carbon buildup off, can crank adjustment screw very slightly to give throttle plate more clearance

Use throttle body cleaner and an old tooth brush to clean up the throttle plate and surrounding area.

Start with a sall flat pry bar and work it in all around the edges. The panel is held on with plastic screw in fasteners. They twist into the holes on the door panel and the other end has a plastic "nail" sort of thing with plastic "barbs" on it.(Hard to describe unless you see one). The plastic with barbs is in the door in holes provided for it. Gently run the pry bar around the edges until you locate one of the holders and gently but firmly pry the fastener off. Don't try to save them as they are usually very brittle and will require replacement. They are very commonly found at the auto parts store.

Keep prying them off and the door panel will start to come off. Remove the arm rest by removing the two screws holding it. the rest is held on with plastic clips and slips out easily.

Now it is time to take the window crank off. This is a little tricky. I have set of what look like miniature ice picks bent in all different directions. Press the door panel in right at the crank and you should see a wire clip around the crank just before the fluted part. It is shaped like a convoluted horse shoe. Put the pick

in the end of the clip and pull hard and it should come off.

Now lift up on the panel and continue prying the clips off until the panel lifts free.

To replace the procedure is reversed and should be easy with new trim panel clips.

The window handle is easy to put back on by putting the clip in the groove and pressing it over the end of the crank. the crank is shaped to allow you to put it on the end and with the fleshy part of the palm just bump it and it will go right on.

And there you have it.

Is it possible that your emergency brake is stuck part way on? This is the light, it may be crossed or broken.

in the Chevy Malibu forum

Remove the fuse.

on mine all you have to do is start car hold down the lock button on drivers door when you hear it beep 4 times the lock will only open and lock from the button may have to hold button down a couple of times to get all 4 beeps

To be more specific, the ground wire must work and the bulbs, fuses, etc.. Or the back up lights and turn signals and brake lights wouldn't work? Right? Could it be the back panel...and still let the brake/turn/backup lights work? I need help fast. Thanks!

bad sending unit in tank.

Well, I tried it and it took me to a PORN SITE. Not a male, not a lesbian, and not appreciating your "help!"

Most of them are behind the glovebox on the heater enclosure. You may have to remove the heater control and/ or radio if that is in the way. The hard part is getting to it; they are usually held in place by a couple of screws and just plug into a connector. I hope this helps you. Mark

>>> Its behind glove box and behind blower motor its has cable divided from blower cable & cable to resister box, Its black box ( u can see cable going in ) attached with 2 screws , its behind blower motor towards front side

>> u have to remove cover on left passenger side ..

It is in the fuse box under the hood next to the air filter.

You will need a ratchet and a strong friend. Put the ratchet on the bolt on the pulley that moves. You will know which one it is because when you turn it the belts wll loosen and tighten on the pulley. have some one hold the ratchet down so you can remove the belt from the pulley... pull it off. Remember how it came off to put it back on. Once you pull the belt off you can let the ratchet go. Put the belt parallel with the pulley and pull the ratchet down. WHen it loosens the pulleys slide the belt on and let the ratchet go. ZRemove ratchet. Don't start the car but tap the key forward 3 to 4 times to make sure the belt is on track. Then start it up!!

the plugs are already gapped On edit:

That is not an answer, and you never install plugs without checking the gap.

The correct answer is .035".

"The newest version of the Chevy Malibu car is about 20,000 dollars brand new. This is information according to the Chevy website itself."

You will need to remove trans. oil pan and replace filter. Also replace seal and change fluid at the same time. www.nationalautoinc.com

open trunk,pull back inside lining to trunk,there should be 3 or 4 plastic nuts to take off. then pull out light assembly.

disconnect your battery,pull your fuse and wait about 10 minutes

have car scanned to find problem code, for it may be a bad crank sensor. if no scanner, any auto parts store will scan for free. then repost if needed.

mine does too. 99 malibu...seems like when it guts warmed up it seems to go. ONly had problem 2X where I thought it was not gonna go.

YES!!! The pistons WILL contact the valves and destroy the engine if the timing is not correct.

On the V6 engine, it is under the ignition coils on the top rear of the engine.

O the 4 cylinder, it is bolted to the top of the engine cover, on the driver side. There is an electrical connector plugged into it.
