Remove the under-vehicle splash shield if necessary to access the starter. Remove the secondary air injection pump, if equipped.

Chevrolet Malibu Starter

Chevrolet Malibu's Starter is a vital element that converts electrical power from the battery into the mechanical power that would turn the engine. This is made possible by an externally mounted solenoid, which is connected with the battery and switches the starter motor 'ON'. In the starter, there is an armature which rotates between the field coils or permanent magnet to produce the electromagnetic force required for operations. The starter drive meshes with the flywheel of the engine when the switch is turned 'on', while an overrunning clutch is used to break the connection at the same flywheel after the engine has started. Malibu vehicles has over the years used a variety of starters and they include the gear reduction starters which boost the torque outcomes. OE starters are manufactured to fit standard engines, they are therefore likely to fail when used with high compression motors. Specific changes of the starter have some effects on overall performance, especially for vehicles with modified engine as yielded by improvements such as gear-reduction systems.

Each OEM Chevrolet Malibu Starter we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
