1999 malibu fix intake manafolds gaskets car will turn over bud will not start

it sounds like a vacume leak if you can put a extention on the bank1 sensor 2 the one behind converter

gasket leaking it cost to fix $1000.00.Now it is stuff to fix leak from $30.00 to 50.00.head gasket fix.

most common on this year malibu are leaking intake gaskets. check for coolant on both sides of motor

Need new gaskets.

It would either be the intake gasket, thermostat housing gasket,upper hose at the thermostat housing,or the heater hose that enters the intake.

is the anti theft light on or flashing if so put the key in the on position for 10 min and then start car

Head gasket.

Several things ... best guess, in order:
1. (very likely) Radiator fan is not blowing (turn on car and a/conditioner.
When compressor kicks in, the radiator fan must blow). If it ims not blowing,
the radiator fan motor may be burned out ($40).
2. Check / replace "cooling fan" fuse ($1) and / or "cooling fan" relay switch
($7).
3. Could be (not likely) thermostat sticking shut. Replace thermostat ($20)
4. Could be radiator hose collapse (not very likely) ($18)
5. Radiator clog or hose leak (possible)
6. Head gasket broken (not likely unless you don't fix current problem) ($150)
The more detail of the symptoms, the better we can assist you.
Hope this helps!

If they promised to fix it and did not go to oberdsman. trading standards its called in England. they can make them do the job right over hear. have you got the same thing for shoppers over there. selling a product that does not work.

Which engine is in the car? Did the car overheat? Was it low on coolant? The 3.1 and 3.4 engines had very common problems with intake manifold gaskets going out. GM just lost a class action lawsuit about their "Dexcool" causing the gaskets to go out. Depending on the mileage on the car it is possible that GM will pay a portion of the cost to get it fixed if it is the common intake problem.
