Chevy Malibu Stalls While Driving - Fuel Pump Relay Fix Resolves Issue

Model: Chevy Malibu Fault Code: P0087 Posted: 2016-06-29 17:49

A user reports that their Chevrolet Malibu is stalling while driving. The vehicle starts normally but suddenly loses power and shuts off during operation. After removing and replacing the fuel pump relay, the car restarts successfully and runs without further issues. This suggests a potential electrical fault in the fuel pump circuit, with the relay acting as a key component in maintaining consistent fuel delivery. The problem is specifically tied to the Malibu's fuel system and can be temporarily resolved by cycling the fuel pump relay.
