In a 2017 Chevy Malibu, if you encounter Code P1101, it signals a malfunction with the mass air flow sensor. This issue typically leads to reduced power and a sluggish throttle response. The sensor is crucial as it measures the air entering the engine to ensure the right fuel-to-air ratio for combustion. A faulty sensor can result in rough engine performance. Replacing the worn-out sensor, likely the reason for the problem, should restore your car's power. The cost for replacement is usually under $100, making it a worthwhile investment.
