Re: 99 malibu will crank, but not start
If he buys one of the consumer scanners I don't think it will help because all they do are read stored codes once you disconnect the battery you erase the stored codes.
It might be time to take it somewhere they have the OTC or Snapon reader that will give you real time sensor readouts. If you can find someone in your area that does mobile
electronic diagnostic work for dealers and shops he will most likely also have a laptop and software that will not only read the sensor outputs but also the ECM/PCM outputs as well up here in the Phila area there about 20 guys doing it, I don't know about your area but I suspect there must be someone.
He may very well do it for what you would pay for the scan tool.
