2004 Chevy Malibu classic stalling problem.?

My 96 olds did this .It was a cracked vacum hose going to a sensor.It would sometimes stall when coming to a stop ,sometimes when taking off from a stop and sometimes not at all.If that is your problem it's a cheap do-it yourself fix.good luck

My 2004 Chevy Malibu Classic will stall while I'm driving, at a stop light and when I am in park. It is not consistent, but it does stall at least 10 times a week and it immediately starts back up. I notice I have more of a chance of it stalling when I have a/c, heat or defrost on. It stalls...

i actually know exactly what the problem is, though im not sure if they have been able to completely fix it. the problem is in the ECU, the computer for your car, sometimes it forgets the key is on, and shuts the car down, my girlfriend's car does this sometimes, and its a 2002? it had to do with a programming bug, but it wasnt major enough to have a recall. it affected only a small percentage. ask them to replace the ECU, which is around... 150 to 300 bucks. better than the injectors like the other guy said, they run around 200 each. you need 6. the computer wont read a code because the engine light doesnt come on. try the ECU and it should fix your problem.

cplk is right, some GM cars have the "great idea of incorporate the car "chimes" on, star, and some other features that becomes a pain in the assss....whenever you want to replace the stock unit. Check to see if there a mini fuse on the back of the radio check if is blown, if not then is a possibility that your unit is defective.

could be idle air control motor or vacuum leak ,ecm

Have them check the fuel system, injectors, fuel filter, etc
