Its a 95000km Malibu and I just spent $2000 CAD a month ago to get a new engine told that its all messed up, but the "engine has problem" light keeps going on and off even after that but I was too busy to ignore that.
Now the wheather is getting cold and whenever I start my car, the sound is just weird like it chokes a few seconds before being able to turn on. And yesterday I tried starting my car and it wouldn't start, I don't know if just the battery's dead because I don't think I left anything turned on for the night and I get no sound at all and all lights goes off when I tried to turn it on instead of the choking noises, please help the car is stuck in my garage and i need it for work, thanks!

try cleaing battery connections, if that doesnt do it then the battery is toast most likely, and if so then its either because it is as old as 4 years old or older, or because of something else such as dirty connection or bad alternator,
if there is a bad connection then it can prevent the alternator from being able to maintain the battery charge and you will end up with a dead battery after driving it
time for some over due routine maintainence on this car it sounds like
good luck

If the lights are on when you start and die when you crank, try tightening your battery cables. If the lights are on you have juice there. Sounds like if the battery is weak it might be because of a bad alternator. Get them both tested. Local parts stores here can test battery alternator and starter for free.
