Asked by Shawn Nov 30, 2020 at 06:41 PM about the 2009 Chevrolet Malibu LS FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So the car stopped running I put a starter on them
it would turn over but not start. Put ether in intake it
will start and run a few seconds.

Changed out fuel pump still will not start just turns
over

Mechanic said injectors have 65 psi or 65 lbs of
pressure or whatever that slang is.

What could be the issue I did see a post about theft
system and this car has been locking and
unlocking. By its self you will be going down the
road and locks will lock unlock or when it is turned
off in yard it will sit there and lock unlock back and
forth not sure if that has anything to do with it not
starting or not

What else could be there issue and how can I
resolve

Did the mechanic check for fuel injector pulse? Voltage and ground for fuel injectors? If you disconnected battery to replace starter, you may have activated the security system? You can try gm relearn procedure, don't know if it will work with your vehicle? You try to start it, let go of key, security lamp is on, after 10 minutes, the lamp goes out, you remove the key. Do the procedure two more times for a total of thirty minutes. Hopefully after the last key cycle, it will start and run? Battery has a full charge and connections all good. You might hook up small battery charger when trying procedure. good luck.
