2001 Malibu has low idol! sputters and dies Help
Any tips? My 2001 Malibu 3.1 liter engine dies right when it starts do to low idol. If i give it gas it will stay running. I drives fine until I let off the gas than dies.

Any Help?

Problem solved.
OK I figured it out the Plenum on it was from an older engine. it came off a 1997 3.1 liter engine or so. They changed the plenums on the 2000 and 2001 3.1 liter GM engines. if you take off the throttle you could see a difference on the plenums. also the older Plenums have more bolts to bolt onto the upper intake manifold
.
Whoever worked on this before me must of tried to install an upper and lower intake from a older model Chevy.
