Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Malibu / May 2004Stalls While Running
My 1997 Malibu stalls when driveing down the highway. It seems to run fine when the engine is cold but everyonce and a while when the engine gets heated up, it stalls and cuts out. I pull over, turn the engine off and it starts back up with no problems. This does not happen every time i drive the car. I had a major tune up done and had all of the fuel injectors checked (repalced one) to make sure they are all good. The fuel filter was changed with the tune up. Does any one know what the problem could be? tannone@earthlink.net TIA One car I had did this if I tried to use an after market fuel filter. It took forever to figure out that is what was doing it, it would be cheap enough to try first. So I ended up always using the "approved" filter Good Luck! > My 1997 Malibu stalls when driveing down the highway.

You didn't mention your engine size? Camshaft position sensors can do exactly what you are explaining. But, like all diagnoses on the newsgroups, these are seat of the pants guesses from experience. I hope this helps? Refinish King > My 1997 Malibu stalls when driveing down the highway.
