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

What would cause a 2002 Malibu to run for about 45 minutes then just stop and start again after setting for about 5 minutes?

Asked by Wiki User

I have a 98 Malibu with a similar problem (hot engine stall). Let sit for 5 minutes and runs fine. Other posts have directed me to the TCC Solenoid and the Crankshaft Position Sensor. I will be unhooking the TCC Solenoid to see if this clears the problem. If so, then it will be replaced.

take a close look at the lighter itself. It's 14 years old and might have a short-circuit in it. You can test that with resistance meter.

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

Asked by Bassda

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

What type of fluid go's in the radiator?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Only plain water goes into the radiator.

The Above is Wrong

A mixture of Antifreeze and distilled water (some people even say de-ionized distilled water). The antifreeze bottle will tell the ratio to give specific freezing and boiling temperature of the fluid but for most of the U. S., half and half is fine. Check your owners manual or ask at the auto parts store for the type of antifreeze recommended for your car. There are different kinds.

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

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Asked by Wiki User

You didn't state WHICH year. -They have been making Malibu's since about 1966 and I know the early versions would seat 5 passengers fairly comfortably . I had one ! The Malibus made now are smaller and wimpier than the Malibu of the 60's.

These lights have 2 different "lights" in each of them. This occurs frequently. Change out the bulb and everything will be working fine once again.

Is a 64 Chevelle Malibu fast?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends.... If it had a straight 6 or a 2 barrel 283, no. If it had a 327, most likely, especially if it has the L-79 (350 HP 327) in it. The first truly fast Chevelle was the 1965 Z16.... It was the first time the 396 was installed in the Chevelle.

How do you find Random or multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected On a 97 Malibu 3.1 I got a code reading of PO300. Can anyone tell me where I might look or do to fix this problem. Thanks George?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

it sounds like you need to change the spark plugs and possibly the ignition wires

I have 98 Malibu 3.1. Miss-fire cyl #5 started in 2004. Changed spark plugs and wires replaced injector 5. Problem seemed to be gone. Came back couple years later. have replaced wires and plugs switched coils and still miss-fire #5. I live with problem. Never dies and clears up after 5-10 min. Happens when hot and sits for less than 1 hr.

What part of the engine will coolant boil first?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.
