Asked by Kevin Oct 19, 2015 at 05:56 PM about the 1998 Chevrolet Malibu

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

it drove fine, then one day it started overheating. i didnt really let it get hot,
as i stopped and put water in everytime it started to overheat.As i kept
driving i noticed it started knocking very loud. it sounded like a top engine
knock. i tried to get it home, as i did it the motor just stopped. i tried to
crank it over it woud turn but to no avail. i then did all the work mentioned in
my question. i have no idea what else there is.

why did you start with the timing gears and chain, What made you gravitate to that diagnoses, That would not cause over heating or engine knock, sounds like your in for a engine swap

I have a 2000 Chevy Malibu that was having problems with the Mass Air Flow Sensor. I changed that and the car ran well for a quick trip into town and back. Maybe like 10 miles worth of driving. I had parked her over night and now she's not wanting to start unless I disconnect the brand new Mass Air Flow Sensor. Any suggestions? 1 answer
