It ran for awhile then starting having this problem no idea where to start do not know if it has a auto shutdown or if its just a short in the wiring. ill keep looking but any tip or comment would be very helpful :) Jeff Norfolk Enthusiast Dec 16, 2010, 2:56 PM Post #2 of 3 (1556 views) Re: Chevy Malibu Random Starts Sign In Check the battery but these have a history of ignition switch problems.

So actually it's just a test. But I chose your topic because I had a similar problem once. GM product, V8 with the starter and solenoid down by the oil pan. Ok what it was is a CRACKED SOLENOID. A brand new part, it had a hair line crack in it - almost invisible. But lots of fun. Of course it was the LAST thing I checked because hey, it was new right? So basically the car would start just fine. Except when the parts reached some exact temperature every week or so. Then nothing, zip, whole car dead as a door nail. So then after 5 to 60 minutes depending on the weather it would all light back up again and run fine.
