Some Chevrolet Malibu owners report experiencing throttle body sensor failure, which can lead to engine stalling, rough idle, decreased power, and an illuminated check engine light. Common symptoms of this issue include rough acceleration, engine misfires, and erratic idling, all of which can significantly affect vehicle performance and fuel efficiency. Additionally, some owners find that dirt and grime accumulation can exacerbate these problems. In more complex cases, professional assistance may be required, especially if DIY diagnosis methods prove insufficient. It is crucial for owners to address throttle body sensor issues promptly to ensure the smooth operation of their vehicles.
