| We have a 2004 Malibu classic, the rubber hoses going to the headlight housings have been cut off. What purpose do these serve and where should they be hooked up? What issues can having them disconnected cause? Thanks | |

First time poster, not sure where to post this. I have an '05 Malibu Maxx LS with about 75K. Last night while driving home the check engine light and no TC light both came on, as did "engine power reduced" message on the DIC. Limped it to my office, died less than a block away when I turned but coasted in. Tried undoing and redoing the gas cap a few times and let it sit for a while. Driving home, only the check engine light was on. When I got to the street I live on, as soon as I turned the no TC light and engine power reduced message returned. By the time I coasted to a parking spot car had died. This morning just the check engine light on, got to Auto Zone with no problem and they pulled codes P1125 and P2138, both dealing with APP (Accelerator Pedal Position) sensor. Both codes show possible failed or defective APP sensor. P2138 shows poor electrical connection as possible problem, P1125 shows open or short circuit condition could be problem. Explanations for both deal with one or more APP/TP sensors not agreeing. About six months ago similar thing happened. I was leaving work (at my previous job), same three lights/messages came on and no power steering. Coasted to a nearby shop. Couple of hours later a friend suggested tightening gas cap. I did, problem didn't return until last night. For what it's worth, no light came on when drove from Auto Zone to my office this morning. I'm traveling Friday, don't want to pass it off as a fluke or faulty warning but also don't want to replace APP sensor if no reason to. Any ideas? Thanks, Craig

Replying to: butch100 (Feb 24, 2009 4:02 pm) Possibly related, back in 2007 when the suspension was making creaking noises, one place told us the steering shaft had been corroded due to moisture, don't know if there's a connection or not. And once a few months ago the turn signals all of a sudden stopped working for a couple of turns, then returned to normal. Weird.
