2006 Chevy mailbu dies when stopped but starts back up and drives fine

Asked by hurley75 Jan 12, 2015 at 09:50 PM about the 2006 Chevrolet Malibu

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2006 Malibu and the other day the gauges quit working, before I could get it to the shop, the next day I would come to a stop light and it would die, it would start back up in neutral, and run as long as I was taking off right away, and then today its not running at all.
