Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Malibu / January 20072001 Chevy Impala LS
our car was surattically not starting, we had it towed to a dealer (just bought it 7 mos ago) after 1 1/2 hrs of diagnostics they found that it was a low battery. $205 later, the next day it wouldn't start again. Took it back and they called in a tech to check it out - turned out it was the fuel pump. We replaced the fuel pump - car still won't start. Had a friend put his OBDII scanner on it and it came up with the code: P0452 which says that the evaporative emission control system pressure sensor low input. So we bought a maps sensor $50 more - the car still doesn't start. Can't get the scanner to erase the code. Any help would be very much appreciated. Just wondering, is the theft light on, does it crank and not fire? is the theft light flashing, if so, see post about 98 malibu not starting. HAS ANYONE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTIONS YET, JUST WOUNDERING HAVE A 2001 CHEVROLET MALIBU WITH THE SAME MOTOR DOING THE SAME THING PUT IN NEW PUMP AND ALL AND STILL NO FUEL PRESSURE AND CAR WON'T START, IF ANYONE ANSWERS WOULD YOU PLEASE PAS THE INFO ON TO ME THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I WILL DO THE SAME,THANKS AND GOOD LUCK > our car was surattically not starting, we had it towed to a dealer (just > bought it 7 mos ago) after 1 1/2 hrs of diagnostics they found that it was [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > we bought a maps sensor $50 more - the car still doesn't start.

I have a 2001 LS and i had a similar problem. towed to the dealer said to change the fuel pump, then next day again same then said something wrong with starter and the again next day something else and the scanner showed some error codes and after 4 days of back and forth they told me some electrical connection had come loose under carriage after maybe bumping hard too many times in potholes and so on. So after totalling about $700 + (i paid only abot $250 for towing and some labour for oil change and stuff some part not covered under extended warrenty) it was finally fixed. |
