My 2001 Chevy Malibu won't start. (Fuel System Chevrolet Malibu Engine No start)

Question

Question Details Asked:Jan 30, 2013 - 09:15 PMStatus:Closed

brinsey21	My 2001 Chevy Malibu won't start. My car won't start. I went into a building for like 20 minutes, came back out and my car wouldn't start. There was no noise like it was not even trying to start. The only noise I hear comes from my fuse box. My theft system light has been on since I got the car. All my lights come on & the car will turn on, so I know it's not my battery. I just don't know what is wrong with it. Please help! It's a 2001 Chevy Malibu.

It sounds like the car is not turning over. It takes more power to turn your car over than to run the car's accessories so it could be that your battery has a charge but not enough of a charge to turn it over.

If it is not that, the next thing to look at is your starter/starter stolenoid and/or the fuses that control it.
