Battery has a full charge and connections all good. Engine cranking, you have spark at all the plugs? Did you use a gage and check proper fuel pressure? I looked at Malibu ls 2.4L engine, 50--60 psi, so if the reading is right in the middle, should be fine. Check fuel injector pulse. Check for applicable trouble codes? Those are the basic checks, in my opinion.
