1999 chevy malibu check engine light came on and now shifts hard from park to drive
The engine light is telling you, you have a transmission problem which sound like a shift solenoid. If you take the care to a local garage or dealer you can have them scan the vehicle for the problem code, which will tell you which solenoid is bad.

THE VERY FIRST THING U DO WHEN U HAVE A LIGHT IS SEE WHAT TROUBLE CODES ARE STORED FOR THAT LIGHT
On this year of Malibu, it may be nearly impossible for you to check the ATF yourself. The dealer has special tools to check the ATF, as it's located at the very rear of the engine compartment on some models. One tip though - make sure you are watching when they check it, as some technicians are lazy and don't want to do this (engine is quite hot! :)
Have you checked the automatic transmission fluid?
