* Engine Variations: The 2001 Malibu came with a few different engine options (2.2L 4-cylinder, 3.1L V6, and 3.8L V6). Each engine has a different firing order.
* Specificity is Key: Without knowing the specific engine in your Malibu, I can't give you an accurate cylinder order.
To find the correct cylinder order, you need to:
1. Identify your engine: Check the engine compartment for an identification tag or look up the engine code in your owner's manual.
2. Consult a repair manual: Once you know the engine code, you can find the correct firing order in a repair manual specific to your vehicle. You can find these online or at your local auto parts store.
Other resources:
* Online forums: Search for "2001 Chevy Malibu engine code" or "cylinder order" on car forums to see if other owners have posted this information.
* Mechanic: Your local mechanic can also help you determine the cylinder order.
I hope this helps!
