2003 Chevy Malibu and it doesn't always start. It turns over, but this morning it was really cold, almost drained the battery. The car seems to always start later in the day due to the temperatur

The problem could be in the ignition switch itself.

you can call Auto Zone or go to their web site and get the right specs,I've always use their web site www.Autozone.com.

fuel issue? check all fuses first then check your fuel pump filter. disconnect the power cable from battery for 30 min then plug back up and try that should fix it based off the info you just gave

check your timing, fuel filters, check your points, or spark plugs is your rotor cap where it's suppose to be and is it good? i've always disconnected the battery and it seems to reprogram it's self. see if that works

Just got an answer from Chevy Dealer. When you replaced the battery it loses its memory as to where the door actuators were (the flaps that control the heat and A/C).

The fix:
Turn everything off and let the car sit overnight. The computer should reset itself during its learnings process.
In the morning turn on the ignition and let the car run for a few minutes before turning on the climate control.

If this doesn't work, plan on 1-1.5hours of labor for a technician to reset the actuators at the dealership.

Good luck.

Many possible causes....Too little info to make an intelligent suggestion. Try charging the problem vehicle's battery with jumper cables for 2 minutes with the supply vehicle running at fast idle (or about 1500-2000 RPM, if it is tachometer equipped) before you try to crank the problem vehicle on a cold morning. If it starts right up, you likely have a weak battery that needs replacing.

It would almost appear that your battery is weak. If the engine doesn't freely turn over the remote start will not work because it recognizes the problem. I would also hope that you plug in your block heater when it's really cold.

Hello and welcome. this is almost always the hazard switch. inside the hazard switch is the turn and hazard flasher. the next time the turns dont work, try pushing in and out on the hazard switch and see if they come back on.

get battery checked at local parts store for free (oreilly, autozone, advance auto parts)

if you are mostly having trouble with cold weather,i would check the engine temp sensor,it tells the computer how cold your engine is so in the morning the computer will increase fuel like an old carb with a choke
