Top 10 1999 Chevrolet Malibu Questions & Answers

Thanks Pierre!

Merci beaucoup!

Everything worked as mentionned. Be carefull with the plastic in the winter. Make sure to use a flat screw driver and get it close to the slider and not on the edge. I cracked one of the tongues. Those L shaped slots are under the plastic cover with the two big plastic plugs that you also remove with the flat screw driver

There should be a fuse in the panel under the left hand side of the dash board. It would be labled cig ltr or assy. I hope this helps. Don't forget to rate my answer, thanks.

The Firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6. But the wires go on the coils in this order1-4-6-3-2-5

I have the same problem in my chevy malibu 2003, I know the problem is from engine programing (car system) but no one can fix it only by reprogramming the car but it is difficult to do it. What I did is I took the car to a car electrician shop and I ask him to let my car fan work once I start my car. He just put some wire inside fuse box and also add one extra wire between one fan and the battery and it is working well now. The electrician told me "but this will decrease the life time of the fans because it should be only run once the car is hot". Then I told him "just do it" because I know that if didn't do it, my car will damage from high temperature and the engine gasket, fuel pump, water pump, power stirring pump, electric sparks could be damage from high temperature. So if the fans become down, I will change it no problem which will not cost me more than 35$ rather than the big damage which might happen if I didn't switch it on, might cost me thousands of dollars. I did it more than 3 months a go and it is working fine. No my car temeperature around between 1/4 and 1/3 of the full temperature.

No more overheating.....

GOOD LUCK

If you have ABS brakes then one or more of the sensors may need replacing on the rotors. Also check the fluid level.

You have what is called a closed cased transmission. You have to crawl underneathe to get to the tranny and remove the upper bolt close to the side of the case (more towards the bottom of the transmission). When you fill it, you fill it till it starts to drip out of that hole.

Looking for a picture for you.
