The 2002 Chevrolet Malibu has the 3.1mfi engine which is not an interference engine. It has a timing chain and not a belt. It is an o.v.h. system with two valves per cylinder. I have replaced timing chains and have had the heads checked, with no damage to the valves.

Cheak your fuse under the drivers side under the hood. Look in your manuel for fuel fuse. It looks like a little black box.

SOURCE: Chevy 2002 Malibu ERG valve

Symptoms of a bad EGR valve are usually stumbling idle or the engine stalling when the car is warm (normal operating temperature). Find the EGR valve and locate the vacuum line attached to it. Start the engine cold and wait for it to warm up. When the engine starts to stumble, pull off the vacuum line. If the EGR is bad, the engine idle will stabilize and no longer stumble.

What kind of motor will interchange with a 2.2 ecotec? (2004 chevy malibu)

Well the 2.2 engine was used in Cavaliers after 2002 and Cobalts.
Olds Alero from 2002 - 2004
Grand Am and Sunfires
And several Saturns.
Now which ones will bolt up is a different story.
A salvage yard should have an actual interchange list.

2000 Chevy Malibu wiper delay and intermittent won't work.

I had this problem (wipers only work on high) with my 2002 Chevy Malibu and had to replace the 6 amp diode (22059733) on the wiper control board. It is connected to the back of the wiper motor and is held on by 3 torx screws.
Radio Shack has them for $2.75 6A, 50V Rectifier Diodes (4-Pack) Model:276-1661

I have the same problem with my 2002 malibu and my mechanic told me it is a burnt resistor. I am not sure how hard it is to change and I am assuming it is a resistor on the fan.
