Sounds like there is no spark from the coil. You can have that tested at Auto Zone, or it can be other ignition parts also. If there is no fuel pressure it will not start also.
I had the same problem. My 2002 Malibu wouldn't crank for two days. All of the sudden it started like nothing was wrong with it. Now it's over heating. Apparently his is very common in the 2002 Malibu. I read a little about it online. Please give me a update to let me know how you resolved the issue. I'm very curious. Thanks
My 2005 Chevy Malibu has problems starting in cold weather. After many attempts, drained battery. It sounds as if there is no compression in the 4 cyl 2.2 engine when attempting to start it on cold mornings. Should I have a compression test done on it? When the weather is warm, it cracks on the first attempt?
