The malibue will start cold no problem. After drive the car, to re start the car it will only turn over, no spark! Gas pressure fine! Replaced ignition sensor, checked ignition! What is my next step, one of the sensors is over heating, I think and when it is hot! Will not start!

Check the crank sensor, if no good when hot, you get no spark. Is the SES on? If yes First thing you need to do is have the codes read, Autozone does it free, Post the results with the code number(s). Even if the service engine light is not on, there should be freeze frame data stored.
If it won't make it to Autozone, buy a cheap scanner, they can be had for 30-40 dollars, a good investment, since they cover all cars sold in the USA from 96 on.
If the light is blinking, it means possible damage to the converter. Service it right away!
