Re: 01 malibu wont start after starting without problem an hour before

It is probably your theft system..i have had this problem with mine....what you need to do is put your key in the ignition and turn it to the "on" position..you will probably notice your theft system light flashing on the left side of your dash...keep your key on the on position for 10 minutes, and the theft system light will stop flashing..turn the key off and then your car will start!

After a frustrating morning of my Malibu not starting again- I am happy to have found this website, hopefully I can resolve some issues.
My 2001 Malibu is terrible and I am going to get rid of it the first chance I get and never buy another. You name it wheel sensors, an ABS light that's on, and when it's not on the Antitheft light is on, a squeaky front right end, warping rotors, moisture in the side lamps.

My car is sitting in the driveway with the key in the ignition as I write this. And my disappointed children who missed a favourite sport this morning are finding something to do.

I cannot get over the popups for GM on this site, advertising their cars in a forum that points out what junk their vehichles are. How much do they pay these people for having no brain?
