#1 issue would be fuel pump the pump is getting old and not pumping enough fuel into the chainbers,
#2 Spark plugs = old and not very good for operation will not egnite the fuel fumes and will not burn in chainber there for your fuel will go out exhaust an you will have a lack of power.
#3 Pedal lag. The pedal might have a loose cable that is only kicking in when you get to that certain point.
Good luck massege me if you got anymore issues.
A dirty air filter will cause your automobile to not properly accelerate. A dirty fuel filter will also cause your automobile to not properly accelerate.
i would like to know what would cause the miss firing in Chevy Malibu
frozen pulley

There can be several things that will cause your 2003 Chevy Malibu to run rough and not shift into fourth here. The probable cause is a lack of fuel. Due to a bad fuel injector.
YES
Yes, and that will cause shifting issues.
Rods and Rocker arms were the problem with my Malibu after changing lifters
A bad cylinder head gasket.
You can tell if the transmission, in your 1998 Chevy Malibu, is going bad. If there is a whining or clunking noise. The transmission might cause your engine to install when you are stopped with your foot on the brake.
Check the Malibu crank position sensor and coil pack. One of these is the most likely cause of the loss of fire.
A faulty crank sensor would cause no spark and no fuel.
