Engine problem
1999 Chevy Malibu 102,00 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
My 1999 Malibu has not been driven for several months. Now, when I try to start the engine, it starts initially, but immediately stalls after a few seconds. Any ideas?

if so turn key on and try to start
leave key on after it stalls security light will be blinking
