Answer:
Yes, the Chevy Malibu does have fuel injectors. Fuel injectors are an essential component of the car’s combustion engine, responsible for spraying fuel into the cylinders of the engine. If you notice an increase in fuel consumption or poor engine performance, it may be a sign of malfunctioning or worn-out fuel injectors. It’s important to keep the fuel injectors maintained to ensure smooth running and fuel efficiency.
Please note that the number of fuel injectors in a vehicle depends on the number of cylinders in the engine. Since the Chevy Malibu is a mid-sized sedan, it typically has four fuel injectors, one for each cylinder.

Which vehicles have fuel injectors?
All compression-ignition engines (e.g. diesel engines), and many spark-ignition engines (i.e. petrol (gasoline) engines, such as Otto or Wankel), use fuel injection of one kind or another.
Does my car have a fuel injector?
To identify the fuel injector, start by locating the intake manifold. The intake manifold is located at the top of the engine and is usually an aluminum or plastic pipe with several ports. Once you have located the intake manifold, look for the fuel injector rail.
Does every engine have fuel injectors?
In its early days fuel injection was expensive and associated with premium vehicles but now every car has fuel injection. It’s generally reliable but it still pays to know how the system works, where it is and how to tell when it’s playing up.
Which cars have fuel injectors?
Diesel (compression-ignition) and petrol (spark-ignition) engines have their fuel injection systems, providing portion fuel injection through small nozzles under high pressure in the combustion chamber.
What does a clogged fuel injector act like?
Dirty fuel injectors may cause your vehicle’s engine to misfire. This problem makes the motor feel as though it is sputtering — sending vibrations through the car. Such misfires can happen when a fuel injector problem mixes up the delicate balance between fuel and air entering the engine.
How do you know if fuel is getting to the injectors?
If there’s no sound it means that particular injector needs to be cleaned or replaced.
How do I know if I have a bad fuel injector?
Typically, a bad fuel injector will cause a misfire, decreased fuel efficiency, rough idle, stumbling, hesitation, surging, and/or a Check Engine Light.
How does a car act when the fuel injector is going out?
Your car may sputter or shake, mostly during traffic stops. The engine idling is mainly due to inconsistent revolutions per minute (RPMs). A sudden decrease in fuel supply, especially during uphill climbing, may accompany rough idling. Sometimes, you may have to restart the car due to insufficient fuel supply.
How do you unclog a fuel injector?
There are several injector cleaners on the market. Seafoam comes to mind first. You can just pour it into your gas tank along with a fill-up. To get more aggressive you can take your car to a mechanic who can run injector cleaner through the entire fuel intake system.
Will bad fuel injectors throw a code?
The most common fault codes associated with a clogged fuel injector are P0171 and P0174, which indicates the engine controller is seeing a lean condition. It is also possible to see fault codes for a rich condition if the injector is leaking or not atomizing correctly.
