Lots of reasons, but mine was the fuel pump was bad. It would overheat after driving maybe 15 minutes, then I would let the car stop for an hour or two and it would start back up.

Why would a 2000 Malibu 3.1 engine die while driving with 45 lbs fuel pressure good Alt and battery?

My 2000 Malibu just cruised to a stop when the fuel pump went. there was no warning. Mostly when this is about to happen I would hear a noise. Not on the Chevy Malibu though. I suspect all GM products fail similarly. So Check to see if the fuel pump is getting fuel to the engine. You can contact me at Powell1D@msn.com. I am hoping to be able to put a 3900 engine in my Malibu now. Maybe I should post it for help. I'm not sure if it will fit.
