Problem for Chevrolet 2004 Malibu
2004 chevy malibu won't start up
I have a 2004 Chevy Malibu LS V6. Sometimes when I try starting the car up it won't start. I have to push the gas lightly to get it started. I have had the the fuel pump checked millions of times and have been told nothing is wrong with it. What could be the problem?

- Turn the key and you hear it trying to start but never actually starts - give it a little fuel and it works... This has happened since I bought it new. - rman18Apr 04, 2009
- I have a 2004 Chevy Malibu. I also have had most of the problems listed on this site, but my main problem right now is The other day my power steering warning light came on on the highway.The car was still driving fine.After we parked and ate lunch came out it was off, the car was still fine. The next morning when I started it I had a squealing noise like a fan belt, but it went away after about 1/2 a block, now a few days later it is getting much worse and and stays on quite awhile. Does the power steering have a belt? and can this be fixed without replacing the whole unit? - goddess737Mar 27, 2009
- I have the same problem with a 2004. I have had it in multiple times. 2 years ago they replaced the fuel pump but it didn't help. I just paid a $78 service charge for them to tell me they don't know what is wrong with the car. Thanks Law Chevrolet in Boonville, IN!- GuestMar 27, 2009

It is possible you have a bad/ plugged injector. This can be checked if you are familiar with them.

I have an 04 Malibu and when I get hard starts when I'm in the car I just press the accelerator down about half way and it always starts right up, some times I have to hold the accelerator down a little after starting to stop it from stalling but it is rare.

After having the same problem, i looked in the owners manual. In there it said that you are to lightly press the accelerator when you start the car. Supposed to have something to do with the electrical system. Try looking in your owners manual under "Starting your Vehicle" or something like that.
I hope this helps!

My 2004 Malibu Maxx has the same issue. I've been talking to different people, and I'm going to change the spark plugs and see where that takes me.

The differnece i have is sometimes it decides to start via remote. I did notice something strange where i got off the highway that had a long curve and i notice my temp gage went off...i freak out. the temp gage return to normal the next day... but still no remote start... jsut lights flash.
Comment by 1q503x, posted on Nov 06, 2008
I also have the same problem, also another little problem is the temp guage won't work when this problem occurs but it works just fine when I don't have the problem. I'm stumped.

Once again I have the same problem with my 04 malibu with 53,000 miles. I have cleaned the ground wires, changed the battery, and did a tune-up without any success. I know it is not the fuel pump because i hear it engage. Note: 3.5 V6
