I'm open n wilin to any sugguestiin, I mean I know its a impola with a lot of problems I was just wandering if anyone has ran into this problem
Malibu and impalas are known for bad iginition switches and has had recalls on them,since you have replaced it should not be the issue now,but hince there have been issues where it has damaged the ECM before it is repaired,

Its crazy, one min car runs good, next ya try crank it n ignition wouldn't even turn. Replaced ignion n most dash lights light up but no radio n won't crank, uncless ya jump the start which it it does in few secs
Don,t know without seeing the wire,s you are talking about,and you said you crank it by jumping the starter,this sends fire to the engine by bypassing the ECM,that is why it cut,s right back off.

Yes,send pic may help me,and the ecm would be cheaper to get a used one,just make sure it matches numbers with the one you have in car.
