its the door latch sensor, it is malfunctioning making it think the door is open when its not and so on.

Hi, if engine cranks over but no start, please check all fuses first, now pass lock sensor, and crank position sensors are famous for this problem. But correct testing needs to be performed. Also if there are no stored or pending DTC`s (Drivers Trouble Codes). If you have a DTC P1189 which is system low oil pressure code this is most commonly caused by a faulty oil pressure sensor circuit fault ( Oil Pressure Sender), causing a no start condition. Please be aware if the anti theft or (Red Key) on drivers dash cluster is on or flashing. In this case lock and unlock drivers door to disable the Immobilizer module. Please note a Immobilizer will cause a no crank no start issue.

Wait until the car engine is cold and drain the antifreeze out of the car and then remove the hose and replace it. Be sure the clamp for the hose is properly located, you can look at where they are on the old one to determine this. Once you have done this put the antifreeze back in the radiator. Be sure to pour the antifreeze in slowly so not to get an air lock in the system. Once the radiator is full start the car and let it run until the thermostat comes open and then check the level of the antifreeze in the radiator. I normally take the cap off the radiator slowly while the car is running, just remove it slowly and stand to the side, that way it will not have back pressure on the cap. You may need to add antifreeze to the system after the thermostat opens and if you don't check for the addition your car may run hot. Just remember to be safely out of the way when removing the radiator cap and to hold it down and release it slowly until the pressure goes off.

Does anyone know if this is an easy fix?????? Could be , but without doing some testing we'd only be guessing . You have no idea of the complexity of the electronic's on your vehicle. Hooking up a professional or factory diagnostic scanner should be first step in diagnostic procedure . Your best bet , have it taken to a qualified repair shop.

No spark to the spark plugs an no fuel pressure . Testing is how to find what the problem is . Pull a plug wire off a spark plug or pull a coil off spark plug with coil over plug ignition system . Hook up a spark tester an try to start the vehicle . Is there spark ? Hook up a fuel pressure gauge an check for fuel pressure . No Start Diagnostic Basics EricTheCarGuy When you turn the key on does the check engine light come on ? Could have a computer problem . Engine sensor shorted bring down the five volt reference circuit inside the engine computer . Your 2008 vehicle has a number of computers onboard ,all are connected on the serial data network . anyone of these being bad could cause a no start . Your 2008 vehicle is a rolling computer , your best bet mite be to have it towed to a qualified repair shop.

Maybe it doesn't have one , could have electric power steering . Look under the driver side I/P on the steering column . Electric Power Steering (EPS) Module (without NVH) Under the left instrument panel knee bolster, to the left of the steering column If you see a electric motor attached to the steering column , you have EPS

Are you sure you are testing the correct wire? the IAT sensor on your car is part of the MAF sensor. It is common on that era of Malibu to have connector wires break internally or the connector to short them together. Also MAF sensor internal failures are equally possible.

The question is, did they in fact perform the recall? (Torque sensor in the columns frequently malfunctioned, was updated in the recall). I have had at least 2 bad new replacement sensors. 1 wouldnt calibrate, the other would set the same code as the original once a week. a 2nd new torque sensor fixed both cars. If there is a new problem aside from the recalled sensor, the dealer should have explained and listed this other problem on the invoice when then checked your vehicle.

My first thought was your security system? I don't have good enough info on that security system. Is there a security lamp on the dash that is on or flashing? If so, you can try 30 minute relearn procedure to see if it helps? Some more testing, make sure battery has a full charge. Have helper crank it while you check for spark at the plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure and fuel injector pulse. Let the starter motor cool off a little between cranking. I know some the older malibu use passlock security system, usually that is fuel injector disable only. Any applicable trouble codes? When you hooked up your radio did you splice into any wiring? I'm not a stereo person.

there is a fuel line return valve on most diesel check and replace

-Possible bad starter. Take it out to Auto Zone to test for you. Good luck Mai

The problem with an engine code is that when it says the TPS is the problem what it's really saying is that it's reading values that usually indicate a bad TPS but can also be caused by another related engine control component whose failure can create the same values.
