Patient, 2003 Malibu with a 6 cyl fuel injected MPIF and 2nd gen OBD-II.
Symtoms: When the car sits and one tries to start it, it labors to fire for about 3 sec. then it stalls out. Attempting to restart it goes nowhere. You can get it to fire squirting starter fluid into the throat of the throttle body. So long as you keep giving it burst it stay running. Once you stop giving it burst it stalls out. It will not even labor to start again until it sits for about 7 to 12 min. All it will do is turn over but never attempt to fire. And, yes, it has a brand new fuel filter. Chevy docs, tell me what it is?
