2011 Chevrolet Malibu how to fix service ESC and loss of power.

[@sabrinagraves5205]

This definitely was a sign and I kept going to auto zone to see what was wrong with my 2012 malibu and throttle body kept coming up and my esc light ...Thanks this was helpful

[@austinwilburn9883]

Same, ended up being the Mass Air Flow Sensor for me. I have a 2012 Chevy Malibu. The part itself cost around $140

[@scopeside]

did it run well after that ?

[@zekey88et]

Did you have problems with power steering and esz code coming up and when you change the throttle body did it go off

[@illuminati7767]

What? U got ripped off

[@CitrusCub]

I have a 2009 Malibu im having similar issues when I try to accelerate I have to pump the gas pedal to get some speed and it doesnt really go over 50mph if I hold the gas pedal down the Rpms go up but the car doesn’t accelerate

[@bigbobsinthehouse]

Did you happen to have a misfire too? My 2011 Malibu has a misfire in cylinder 2. Replaced all plugs and coil packs and it’s still there. Today the esc and service traction control came on. Not sure where to start

[@Devada-kf9zg]

Hey did you figure this out? I have the exact same issue. I replaced the spark plug and coil pack and it ran fine for about a week or two and now it's going wonky again.

My 2010 Chevy Malibu was having a acceleration problem I changed the air filter & it picks up speed way better it’s only been about 2 days but maybe that can help

[@patricialee6095]

I have 2011 Malibu. Have always noticed a slight drop in power when excelerating, but only a second or 2, then comes out of it. Is this just natural for the Malibu or is this a problem that can be easily fixed?

Did you have a P0641 code??

It’s a good possibility, but it’s been 3 years ago I can’t really remember

[@faithmcdowell9004]

Sir since Malibu's have electric steering when ur wheel starts making noise what do u do??

I have not had this issue happen to me. Has your engine light came on, if so I would have it scanned to see what the code reads.

Did the car idle? or check engine light come on?

[@melinasparks3268]

How did you check for this

[@afernandez2844]

Would your car shake?

[@boci11]

instead of replacing all of these parts did you try to narrow it down, and seeing what is causing the issue ?

[@jeremy.messer]

I narrowed it down the best I could by scanning the codes. I originally was going to replace the throttle position sensor which is part of the throttle body, but was not a guarantee to fix it. The cost of the throttle body from Auto Zone was in the $150 range. So I purchased all the part (throttle body + gasket, map sensor, mass air flow sensor, and gas pedal) from eBay for around $113.00. So I thought it only seemed reasonable to just replace them all so I could eliminate the issue and still save money.

[@scopeside]

Lmao just Replaced ALL of these parts it’s still doing this I HATE MY LIFE !!!!!!!!

[@licicipooh0686]

@@scopeside did you figure out what it was having the same issue 😩

I got a problem where I changed the air box and the esc keeps coming on but the throttle is still good I can only drive up to 30 ml until the esc pops back up and the car turns off on me . Should I change the throttle body?

[@Swarm_Of_Locust]

Did you ever find a solution? I replaced both camshaft sensor, crankshaft sensor, MAF sensor, MAP sensor, throttle body and sensor, spark plugs, air filter... Worst car ever made.

[@Bobadillaadventurs]

I just changed my full throttle on my Malibu but my car is way too accelerated what can I do

[@cedmonster1]

Esc light on and voltage sits at 11.8 while running. 2011 Malibu

[@whittneywilliams6272]

I was told the air control valve needed to be replaced🤷🏽‍♀️ got it fixed and havent had the problem since

[@hassanhajjhussein8334]

It seems to me that the problem has to do with the air/gas stoichiometry. It could be a vacuum leak causing unmetered air into the engine. I don't think that it is possible for all these parts to go out at the same time. was the problem fixed in the long run?

[@jeremy.messer]

The problem was fixed. It may have not been all of the parts going bad at the same time. See the response to IsBoR above for more details.

[@TourettesMobileMechanic]

Well, THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IS THE POOR DESIGN OF THE ENENIE COVER. It holds the crank case tubing as well as the air intake is known to leak and suck in air so your dead on. Little over kill but oh well. I just worked on a POS like this. Just a air leak. Poor mechanic prior did not tighten it down. Smh.

[@jesserenicker6445]

Did you have to have the throttle body programmed did it work when you got it

[@jeremy.messer]

No I do not have to have the throttlebody programmed it worked straight out of the package

[@alfonsoestrada7720]

I have a 2012 chevy malibu.when in park my steering wheel shakes on its own.and sometimes i turn off and restart and it works. And now my power steering is hard. Service esc light on and power steering light also.any advice?

[@hovercraftmk2]

It's the steering torque sensor. Same thing happened to my car.

[@jeremy.messer]

These cars are notorious for the electronica power steering to go out. Mine went out on this car and I finally decided to sell it.

[@MrMatthewjackson]

Did you find the problem mines doing that right now any advice

[@spanishandenglishfam7163]

Can this also be done on a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu?

[@joshuachavez5213]

I'm trying to figure this out to on my 2010

[@jeremy.messer]

I am not sure

[@louisnutter1003]

Based on the extremely similar look between the '10 and '11, my guess is yes. I'm shopping for parts as we speak.

[@beyonkahall5693]

I was wondering the same

[@MO-bf3kn]

My 2011 drives then throws reduce engine power/trac control and shakes and won't go over 20mph. You turn it off for an hour then it will drive again. Took it to a mechanic and they said they took apart the throttle body and checked the engine harness and they don't know what's wrong with it. They made it worse, now it dies shortly after starting a long with the problems it already had.

[@hotpackjay]

Fuse box !!

[@tripony18]

Mine is doing exactly the same thing, i drive it for 15 min then when i get to a stop sign or red light and i try to go forward it moves really slow, I have to pull over shut it off and turned back on and it will drive again only for a short distance and then it will do it again… they told me to change the transmission oil, but I’m looking for other options

[@lanniscannady4371]

What about a code p0651 2011 2.4 malibu

[@mikebronson5713]

So can you explain why I changed my throttle body on my 2010malibu and now it's idling high at around 3000 rpm's...

[@jeremy.messer]

Could be an air leak around the gasket. Did you replace the gasket seal?

[@mikebronson5713]

No I didn't but I did check it out and it looked pretty good. This is just puzzling. And I'm not losing power, the idle just high as hell.

[@jonathanavila1668]

@@mikebronson5713 I have the same issues. I cleaned the throttle body and my car accelerates at around 2-3000 rpm when in park and nuetral as well as accelerates on its own when in drive to abiit 40 mph. Can that pedal sensor cause this?

[@jeremy.messer]

The very first time I replaced my throttle body and did not replace the gasket it did the same exact thing. So I took it off and took it back to Auto Zone. I then order a throttle body, gasket, mass air flow senor, map sensor, and throttle sensor (gas pedal) off ebay and replaced it all. The best thing about this is that I order all those part and they saved me $40 when compared to purchasing the throttle body from Auto Zone.

Hi i have 2011 Chevrolet Malibu. I have the same issue , Its showing ‘service ESC’ and service traction in dashboard. Now the problem is when in low idle , like when we stop in signal or stop board sign My car engine is stalling and shutting down . I have to put my foot on break and accelerate the engine in signal to control the stall . I went to mechanic , he changed throttle body but stalling doesn’t stopped and even became more . When driving in highway car is giving jerks . Someone kindly help me how to solve the problem. No codes are showing only Service ESC and traction in dashboard.

Is loss of power mean low idling?

[@TourettesMobileMechanic]

I can almost promise you that is was blockage in the crank case saying blow back. Also. Very stupid design motor boss. Where the cover seats sucks in air if not installed properly and that was most likely the issue I just did one. POS car haha, I reset all my throttle and reset learned it all, now it’s great, may need a VVT selenium also, I will see after oil change. That controls the lifters it has two on top the motor far right by coil packs. I hated this job, ughh. Nice video. Probably could have passed on a pedal.
