Rough idle and I have to press on the gas to start

Asked by Devinmblaine May 25, 2019 at 12:33 PM about the 2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2LT FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So I recently bought a 2010 Chevy Malibu and at the time it
drove fine and felt like a new car. But here recently the
throttle position sensor went out so I replaced that and
after a week of driving it's hard to start and idles rough. It
shifts hard sometime while driving on the highway. I
replaced the mass air flow sensor, and the whole throttle
body assembly.
