make sure you have ngk or ac delco iridium plugs installed. Also common problem on the 2.2L ecotec is the cat plugging. Easy check is to remove the front o2 sensor (very easy 22mm wrench) and start the car and rev it. If it revs freely now and does not bog the cat is plugged. They are covered fed. emissions warranty 8yr 80k, all gm dealers stock the cats for the 2.2 ecotec.

Search for the engine model ECOTec 2.2 rather then Malibu. It is very easy to replace the plugs, they are DEEP inside the engine so you will need a 6" socket extension for the spark plug socket. Needle nose pliers were required to retrieve the socket on the first plug. Don't push down hard on the plug, just enough to engage the nut. Full screen photo sequence is available at:

2.2L Engine
Allow the engine to cool before removing the spark plugs.
Attempting to remove spark plugs from a hot engine can cause the spark
plugs to seize. This can damage the cylinder head threads.
Clean the spark plug recess area before removing the spark plug.
Failure to do so can result in engine damage due to dirt or foreign
material entering the cylinder head, or in contamination of the
cylinder head threads. Contaminated threads may prevent proper seating
of the new spark plug.
Use only the spark plugs specified for use in the vehicle. Do not
install spark plugs that are either hotter or colder than those
specified for the vehicle. Installing spark plugs of another type can
severely damage the engine.
To install:
WARNING
Do not coat spark plug threads with anti-seize compound. If
anti-seize compound is used and spark plugs are over-torqued, damage to
the cylinder head threads may result.
Testimonial: "Thanks for the help, it was easy to change out the plugs with your info."

although I am not familiar with this particular engine my son's Mazda Miata had oil in the plug holes and it only required a new valve cover gasket to fix it.
