    Check the basics, spark and fuel pressure-the schrader fitting is on the fuel rail-should be around 40 psi. If you have those-its mechanic time. If you don't have fuel-99.9% its the pump, if you have no spark, it could be cam and or crank sensors, module or coil packs or even the computer.

    fwiw 60degreev6.com is a GREAT source of info on those engines although turbovanman had you right on track i had been wanting to get a newer car soon and had my eyes on the '97+ Malibu. really nice looking cars IMO and i'm a huge fan of the GM 660 anyway

    what did the problem turn out to be?

    I am never going to be able to own another car, am I? I don't think I could afford to fix the darn things. Lord knows I have two of them that don't run out back right now.
