Chevy Malibu LS (V6-3.1 L) won't start or starts up and IMMEDIATELY dies, how can I diagnose the problem?

Your car starts and dies due to the failing antitheft system. Your vehicle is not receiving the "fuel enable" signal that it needs to keep running. So the injectors get turned to off to prevent theft. You will need to diagnose which part of the antitheft system is failing. Or bypass the entire security system. This link will help you understand the problem, and depending on the year of your vehicle, possibly a good bypass solution.

What's the sign of a bad cat converter on a 1999

If the cat is clogged, blocking exhaust flow, the car may start normally, and may run fine while the engine is cold. Within a few mins as engine warms it will start to bog down and die when you try to acellerate, even a little. May even die out if you give it gas, while it may idle just fine.
This has been my experice in 2 different cars of different types over the years.

hi this is because the injector is not firing, but the engine is been turned by the starter motor.
causes:
1.there is a blockage in the fuel line so please blow through it.
2.there is sensor which senses the sped of the engine and starts firing when it comes to desired RPM. this sensor might have damaged.

2000 chevy malibu engine dying when your driving. It will start right back up. I just replaced the fuel pump. All the gauges turn off and then go back up when it dies

if crank or cam sensor is bad, it will shut down car when warm. have car scanned to see if this is your problem. if you do not have a scanner, most autopart stores will scan it for free.

When i start my 04 chevy malibu its shuts back off what could that be?

here are a few things to check, loose or damaged wires in ignition system, or ignition it self. intake vacuum leaks or in vacuum hoses, faulty emission controls. check ignition switch. it maybe bad and not letting power through, thus causing it to die.

This is the anti-theft PASSLOCK system. You can purchase a paslock 2 bypass system that will bypass the anti-theft othewise you will have to wait the 10 minutes with the key on the ON position and turn over immediately when anti-theft light turns off
