It is a dealership you bought it from. Deffiniatly look up lemon laws for your state! They are alot harder on dealerships then private citizens.

Sounds like you bought a complete lemon. Most states have lemon laws where if there are untold problems previous owner must pay to fix or buy vechile back. As for the current problem, hopefully it's just a water pump causing car to overheat. Piece of advice, always take car to a mechanic before buying. Might cost you $40 to do so, but better then paying for unexpected problems.

2000 Chevy Malibu- check engine light
Have the DIS module checked and the coil pack for cyl 3. If either/both of those need replaced, have it done and have the codes cleared. Then see if it clears the others.

You may need a TPS (throttle position sensor) as well.


Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/sean_54c3a3dc48a7773c

MY 97 PONTIAC SUNFIRE IS BURNING A LOT OF GAS
Is the check engine light on? If you have a sensor that is bad, it will cause bad fuel mileage. Especially if it is an oxygen sensor. It might just need a tune-up.
