My 99 chevy malibu idles at around 500 rpm and shakes the whole car. when I rev it to 1,000 rpm it runs smooth. What do you think would cause this?
#2 of 2 help, malibu tire removal by blackbear84 Sep 04, 2009 (1:14 pm)
Hi guys, I just bought a Malibu 2009 2.4L engine (2 days old). I have some wheel-locks nuts from my previous car, and I wanted to install them in my new Malibu. (To prevent tire removal) My car have a plastic wheel cover with 5 plastic wheel nuts caps protecting the actual wheel nuts. The manual said to [quote] remove the wheel cover from the wheel to locate the wheel nuts [quote/] page 5/79 And that is my problem, all the nuts (plastic) unscrew just a little and them spin freely. I tried to pull them out with a plier after lossening them, but they stuck. I have no way to remove them, I need help, maybe one of you guys know the trick to take out the plastic cover. Thank you in advance for your answers. All the best blackbear84
