My 2004 chevy malibu will not start. It was running fine with 3/4 tank of gas and now it will not start. The engine turns over so I know that the starter is engaging. All of the fuses were checked and still not start. Any ideas?

You might have a defective fuel tank pressure sensor!

It may take 3-4 times cranking for a few seconds,
with a 5 second pause between to get fuel up to the engine. Also may have sucked up
some dirt/debris into the fuel pump after running it dry. May want to change fuel filter.
you can try to have someone bang on the bottom of the tank while someone else
cranks engine. Sometimes this will free up a stuck fuel pump. good-day!!

TANK HAS TO BE DROPPED FOR NEW FUEL PUMP FILTER INSIDE TANK.CHEAPEST FUEL PUMPS ARE ON EBAY IF YOU CAN WAIT ...OTHER WISE ALMOST 300 AT PARTS STORE.MAYBE 120 OR LESS ON EBAY FOR AFTERMARKET ONE ...FUEL GAUGE SENDING IS ALSO WITH THE PUMP THAT S WHY EXPENSIVE

Hi, you may have it flooded. Try holding the accelerator all the way down while cranking the engine to clear the gas out. Let us know if this doesn't work, and thanks for using FixYa.

after you put about 2-3 gal. of gas back in tank you should turn key on for about 4-5 seconds then off then try it again to get the gas back in the line.
if it don't start after trying that it could be you burned up the fuel pump in the tank.
when you first try this have someone listen for the pump to run at the tank.
take off the gas cap and listen from there.
when you first turn on the key it should run for a couple seconds.

It's located in the gas tank and to replace it, your going to have to drop the gas tank.
Thank you for using fixya and if you are going to replace the fuel pump your self. Make sure you also replace the wire harness from the frame to the fuel pump.

2004 chevy malibu maxx LS, the gas tank holds exactly 16.10 gals.hope this helps.

You have sediment in your tank that gets losened and blocks your fuel line after you gas up. drain tank and clean and change both fuel filters and that should fix your problem

This is a common problem with Malibu's. It is due to cheap metal in the fuel gage that corrodes. Chevrolet knows about this but they refuse to issue a fix. The check engine light staying on and the faulty fuel gage are related. This is a defect and they need to recall this part! Raise hell with the dealership!
