I have a Malibu Classic 05 and it has a problem with starting. It is turning but it sounds like the gas cant get to it to make it crank. Sometimes it cranks right up an somtimes it takes 45 minutes to crank. I have taken it to two different shops. The first time they told me I needed an injection switch and then they said a fuel pump and fuel filter. Next I took it to a different shop he said maybe the fuel pump was defected so I used the warranty on it and got another one and he put it on and it is still doing the seme thing. He has put it on several machines and it passes everything. Same thing the last guy said to. What areas could this be? What are some possibabiltes?

Hi. This could be ecm fuel pump crank sensor elec wireing prob. They must have tested fuel pressure. Or they would not know if it was the pump or not. You need to know these things
#1 fuel pressure
#2injrctor pulse tested with noid light should flash
#3spark tested at the spark plug
when it won, t start check these things this will tell you why it won, t start billymac
