You will need to Check the Fuel Pump and Relays, and also Change the Fuel Filter. There is a Fuse Relay Box under the Hood that has the Fuel Pump Relay in it.

SOURCE: my 2005 malibu sometimes stalls for no reason

If the check engine light has not come on you could still take it to an autoparts place and have them test your car. It is usually free. You may have a burned out indicator light. If your car has not set a error code there are several things to check. Low vacuum pressure caused by bad hoses, pcv valve, EGR diaphram, manifold gasket, or brake booster. Low idle rpm caused by above items or throttle position sensor, steering step-up switch or mechanical adjustment on throttle body. In extreme cases dirty air filter, water in gas, fuel pump pickup on low tank. Hope this helps.

If you pull the aircleaner off and watch the throttle body injectors they dont have anything coming out?
Double check the map sensor and the throttle position sensor?
Computer? I wonder if a wire to the computer has shorted out to ground.

This could be a bad starter. Does it make a clicking sound when you turn the key? Does the engine sound like it wants to start but just wont? If the ignition switch is bad it could be the solution to your entire problem and it is not too hard to replace yourself. Please post with these answers. Thank you!

My 2005 malibu will turn but wont start.. after i got a boost it sarted than when i turned it off it did not come back on

If jump starting it didn't fry one of your relays. Then you might wanna check your coil, alternator and all the cables running from them and the battery

My 2005 chevy malibu classic keeps stalling/shutting down

you might have a short circuit in your car, or a loose cable somewhere, I don't think the car is overheating, I think that the temperature sensor (commonly screwed to the engine by a water return hose) is not working well, probably the bimetalic material is all wear out, you might consider change it.

Have a 2001 Malibu. Will turn over but wont start. Just changed spark plugs

With my 2001 Malibu it wouldn't start sometimes. Try changing the the fuel pump relay (It's in the fuse box & is less than $20 to change).

Keeps switching back to outside air from recirculating on my ac

No obvious reason for this behavior, so it is likely the control head is failing. You may be able to get a used one at a salvage yard.

2004 chevy malibu won't start up

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.
