Chevrolet Malibu stalling or hesitating when accelerating after stopping at red light, no error codes detected
Some Chevrolet Malibu owners report experiencing stalling or hesitation after stopping at a red light, even when no error codes are detected. These issues may stem from a faulty ignition system, including problems with coil packs, spark plugs, or worn ignition wires, which can hinder engine performance. Additionally, if the engine timing is off, it can lead to stalling and misfiring. A dirty air filter is another concern, as it can restrict airflow and potentially cause stalling if severely clogged. For newer models like the 2019 1.5T Malibu, some owners have found that an ECM update can resolve hesitation issues related to a knock sensor anomaly. It is recommended that owners seek a thorough inspection by a qualified mechanic to accurately diagnose and address these stalling or hesitation problems.
