Starter i want to know how to find the starter in my '99 chevy malibu

Do you have power at the starter? Give the starter direct power, to see if it's turning over. If not, then you have some internal problem, was the car flooded?

Their is no radiator cap that goes directly into radiator. if you do plan on putting barr's leak in it just put it in the coolent tank on the passenger side that is the only way.

Hi, your rotors are warped. Have them resurfaced at any brake shop.

There are 2 possible diagrams for your car depending on which engine it has. Both diagrams are listed below:


1999 Chevy Malibu 2.4L






1999 Chevy Malibu 3.1L

bad gasket/seal

If its like my 99 Chevy Lumina, its behind the front bumper, passenger side. You'll have to take the whole front bumper off. Stupid I know. But thats how Chevy made them.

yes it can be a fuse, most cars have a dimmer for dash/interior lights if fuse is ok it may be the dimmer switch.

99 chevy malibu v6 3.1 engine, head bolt torque is-- 98 through 2001 is step1- 37 foot lbs, step 2- rotate an additional 90 degrees (1/4 turn). the rocker arm bolts are 168-in. lbs.

Follow the positive battery cable down to the starter.

define trying to catch. is the engune turning over but sounding like it may start then finally does? or does the starter spin but the engine is not turning unless you turn the key to start a few times if it is the latter it could very well be the starter. check to see if you have an oil leak onto the starter. if it very greasey then you will need to adress the oil leak too. the starter is located on the lower right side of the engine. (passanger side.)
