Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

my 2000 chevy malibu will have rpm at 2 or 3 in park. And while driving it will be at 3rpm without ever touching the gas. It is the craziest thing..... I can go all the way to work without ever touching the gas petal. What wrong? I've had the fuel system cleaned out new spark plugs and spark plug wires. I still have the same problem.

Suspect faulty IAC see diagram

do you have an estimate on cost? or time it takes to replace?

Part @$80 time 1 hour

last question.... When I go to start the car (no matter if it's been sitting for a while or not) it will act almost like its flooded.... but after a few trys it will start. Now it doesnt do this all the time but will do this probably 3 out of 5 times.... could this also be related to a faulty IAC?

yes

where are the spark plugs located on a 1997 chevy malibu

there are 3 in each head. the first three i'm sure you can see at the end of the plug wires. the other three are similarly placed and can be reached with a fle head rachet and plug socket. sometimes the top dogleg mounts haveto be taken off and the car put in neutral and the engie rocked forward to remove the plugs. Make sure to do this on a cool engine as you can strip the head removing them and put anti-seize on the new plug threads for ease of removal next time.

There right below the valve cover's i posted a diagram follow the spark plug wire's from the coil's to the spark plug's.

My check engine light is on and I need to know where spark plug # 2 is

did you change spark plug wires?

Yes we did!

you have a cylinder missfire you have to find out which cylinder is causing the prob. with engine running remove a spark plug wire one at a time use insulated pliers for this. each time you remove a wire the eng should idle down. if you get to one that you can remove the wire and the rpms do not drop this is your problem cylinder.


please feel free to reply if you need more help

Is it possible it can be a fuel injector???

Hi Yes it is possible that it is an injector. you need to isolate it to the cyl that has the prob then it could be a injector wire plug.or mechanical
