My gas light will not go off.

My gas tank started to get empty so I went to get gas. $40 later I had filled up and I got back in my car. When I started it up it said that my car was completely empty. I was told that it was the sensor box attached to the actual gas tank that has gone bad, but that is really expensive and I didn't know if anyone out there knew of anything else it could be, or something I could do to fix it that would be cheaper.

You could try tapping on the gas tank with a rubber mallet I have found sometimes this knocks a stuck sending unit back working again (rubber) mallet ! this is not fun to change, but is fairly inexpensive and a battery reboot might be in order as sometimes it can be the BCM making a fuss

SOURCE: Hard start when cold, running rich, poor fuel economy

Chrysler has a bulletin out for a simular condititon that involves replacing the pcm. Heres the bulletin number 18-005-04. This is only 1 possible cause , Fuel pressure, coolant temp sensor, thottle position sensor all can cause like problems. Seeing sensor values and fuel adaptives with a scan tool helps pin point problems.

SOURCE: Car over heats in short distances

This really sounds like your radiator fan is working. Slow speeds under 20MPH the fan is needed badly. Over 20MPH there is enough ram air to sufficiently cool down the radiator. You should find a fuse for it in the Power Distribution Center under the hood. Check big and small. If the fuses are good and you're convinced the radiator fan isn't coming on, try swaping the rad fan relay with another in the PDC. As far as the "Check engine" lite goes, a transmission fault can turn on the lite. However if your radiator fan is not working that will also turn on the "Check engine" lite.
Good luck with that and let me know if you still have issues.

SOURCE: Error code P0344

I have finally found the problem, check your wire harness from the camshaft position sensor to the main wire bundle. Mine had a bad wire because it was secured and it laid across the coolant hoses running by the harness. I wrapped the wires and secured them with wire ties as best I could and it seems to have fixed the issue.

SOURCE: chry 300c 06 stalls after filling tank

Tell me when you fill up how far do you go before it stops,,then how far does it go the second time and the 3rd time ,,Do the times get longer each time,, if so then your problem isent a big deal.
The problem you might have is that the return fuel pipe from the engine returning fuel back in to the tank,, and the TANK breather pipe which has to let air in as you cannot take fuel out and not let air back in ,,so it causes a vacuum in the tank... So check the breather before any thing else .. OR dont fill it up any more than the first click of the pumps .
Let me know how you get on Ron

How to compute kilometers per litre

You would fill up the vehicle, then divide the mileage traveled by the amount of fuel it took to fill the tank again.
So assuming you filled the tank each time, you would divide 609km by 100.4 ltr which is .1648 or 16.49 L/100km
Thats about 40 mpg.

I filled my gas tank with regular gas and 5 mins later the check engine light came on and the low fuel light came on. I turned the car off and let it sit for an hour. I made sure the gas cap was on...

Im faily certain you have a problem with your fuel sending unit. Im not sure how common that is with Chevy Malibus but i replaced that in my 98 jeep cherokee and that did the trick.

Fuel guage pegs high at start then goes to empty

Jason, as far as the fuel gage, try a couple of resisters at the wiring for fuel gage sending unit, in gas tank. It's two wires, use the resister inline between the two wires. One resister is for low fuel level, the other for high fuel, If the gage reacts properly to both resisters, the problem is the sending unit in the gas tank. You can try 40 ohm and 250 ohm resistors. I used to get resistors from radio shack, I don't know if they went bankrupt? The store in my community closed. Other places may have resisters?
Just to add, the wire colors for sending unit/sensor are purple and black with white tracer.

Gas gauge not woking properly gas tank only accepts a little gas

a fuel sending unit seems to be the most popular solution. the part is about $40. I think the labor is what's going to kill you.
