05 malibu classic no compression 2.2 - 2005 Chevrolet Malibu

Check your timing chain and valve timing. Might be other issues?

Check compression. If its a 4 cylinder that's fairly easy with a compression gauge. All 4 cylinders should be around 180-190 psi. If all 4 are low suspect a jumped timing chain.

There are four things required for an engine to run: air, fuel, compression and properly timed spark. If you have fuel and timed spark, the only two variables are air and compression. Air is not the likely problem, and compression should be good unless you blew a head gasket or the rings in all four cylinders. How did you determine that you have fuel and spark? Those are the two most likely problem areas.

Hope helps.

A poor electrical connection in the circuit to the A/C pump. A lot of times it is a simple splice needed near the pump. As the lines on gas (freon or any other) when compressed, get hot. It's easy to accidentally let one of those wires hit a "hot" spot during other activity, under the hood. CHeck that the connection on the compressor (or if 2 connections) are clean, & secured.

the price of labour and parts vary from place to place. I recommend shopping around in your neighbourhood for prices because the cost is way different between U.S.A and Canada and from city to city.

I don't know where you are but if the temperature was below freezing and you have some water in the fuel line or filter you probably can't get fuel.

Replace fuel pump, may be in the gas tank. Some cars have gas shut off in case of accident, this may have tripped, not sure where it is located on your car.

call your local Chevy dealer parts department.
