my 2008 malibu has about 40K miles on it and a few weeks ago it started getting very slow when accelerating. It just doesn't seem to get up and go. I tried injector fluid to see if it would help and nothing. Now this morning the service engine light came on. Any suggestions?

Hesitation and service engine light, HELP!

My 2008 Malibu has a huge hesitation when accelerating and almost seems to slip a little. Once it is up to speed it does ok but now this morning the service engine light came on. No clue what is causing this!

Sounds like it may be the fail safe for the engine, what is the temperature that your car was running at when this happend?

It seems to be running at a very normal temp. I do notice it hesitating more and almost slipping when it is cold before it really gets warmed up.
