2 Fuel Delivery problem of the 2002 Chevrolet Malibu

Failure Date: 09/01/2004

Car coughs/hesitates when driving between 65-75 mph. Began doing when I moved to arizona. Did not do it in FL using regular grade gas. Dealer said my fuel filter was all clogged and dirty and the fuel was getting dark colored. Said I need to use chevron or arco gas as they put a detergent in their gas that GMC is recommending for all their cars. Dealer changed fuel filters and air filter. I tried regular grade gas from arco. No difference. Am taking it back to service at dealer again.

3 Fuel Delivery problem of the 2000 Chevrolet Malibu

Failure Date: 11/22/2002

I have had problems with this car every since I got it. It started with the brakes I had to have new brakes and a month later I had to have new rowters because that had a defect. And still having problems with the new rowters. The engine light would come on and they final replace the fuel tank. But when I took it in before the warranty went out they said they could not find nothing wrong with it now the warranty went out my gas gage would go to empty when we are sitting still and would go back up when we take off. It shut down on me going down the freeway. Dt.
