| I just had a new fuel pump and fuel filter replaced on my 2005 Chevy Malibu after the fuel pump went out coming home from vacation and 4 hours from my home. The gas tank had to be dropped and the tank was full of bad gas. They emptied and clean the tank, replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter and cleaned the injectors. On the way home from the repair shop the check engine light came on? What now? I check the gas cap lid and tightened it. BUT the light is still on! Help??? | |
I let my sis drive my car and she didn't want to give it back. She didn't want to buy it either. so she says be careful what you back into as the cops and I get my car back. 5 months later I was bumper to bumper with my son's cadi and now I have no cruise control and the engine light is on and blinking. I took it to a shop and they said I should have no problems driving it this way for the next 1000 miles of my trip. Said I probably just bumped a sensor. My question is could my sister and her boyfriend have sabotaged my car and if so, how?? Please help - I'm on the road next Thursday.

So, now that my 2005 Malibu reached 50,000 kms and 3 years (exactly); I'm having weekly issues, such that the dealership will soon know me by name. First, my remote start failed. Then I had a brake issue; and today I was driving home from work when I noticed my temperature gauge wasn't working at all. No big deal, I figured, I could get that looked at next time I pop in for service. When I dropped my carmate home, she noticed when she stepped outside that my car was unusually loud. Looked like the fan was going in overdrive. I drove home and when I shut the engine off I noticed the fan kept on going for about 20 seconds. I guess I'll take it in tomorrow....sound like a thermostat? |

Replying to: barky (Apr 06, 2007 7:39 pm) the upper and lower intake manifold gaskets, and the exhaust manifold gasket, and the head cylinder gasket are shot, they all went in a short period of time. I have about 67000 miles on it. It is going to cost about 2grand to fix. It has something to do with dexcool eating the older gaskets. Many people are trying to get gm to acknowledge and fix or reimburse, but they are not budging.

I own a 2004 Chevy Malibu w/ the 3.5L V6. When I am driving the car at about 35 mph and let off the gas to coast, the rpm naturally goes down to about 800 rpm. When i go to accelerate again the rpm revs up to around 1800 and then goes back down to normal rpm for accleration. Is this normal or should I be worried? Thanks, Jake
