Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Malibu / May 20082002 Malibu surging in 2nd gear at high RPMs
2002 Malibu 3.1 V6 auto - not every time but happening more often since the weather got up to around 80 - under heavy throttle, in second gear only, the engine will start surging badly when the engine gets over 4500 RPMs. Plugs and fuel filter have been changed.

Possible but what could be causing it to take affect at 4500-5000 RPMs - and it only seems to do it since the weather got warmer. Normally the 2 - 3 shift occurs around the 5500 RPM redline. > Sounds like high rpm cut out to prevent overreving the engine. > >> 2002 Malibu 3.1 V6 auto - not every time but happening more often >> since the weather got up to around 80 - under heavy throttle, in >> second gear only, the engine will start surging badly when the engine >> gets over 4500 RPMs. Plugs and fuel filter have been changed.
