9.2 to 1

do you have a check engine light on? sounds as if the censers are bad or you have a vacuum leak or need a tune up ect

Code does not exist on a Chevy Cobalt as it refers to a vehicle with a transfer case (4 wheel drive)

Replace the O2 sensor. It is bad. Done way too many of them, when it comes to the heater..

Hi Mildred, I'm glad to help! Mildred, no matter what type of vehicle were talking about when it comes to dying issues it can be a lot of things causing the problem. If the problem occurs when you come to a stop it could be the "IDLE AIR CONTROL" OR on some vehicles the "EGR VALVE". If the problem occurs while driving done the road it could be wiring problems or connector issues, fuel pump issues, Cam or Crank Sensor issues. Engine Controller issues. You can try tapping on the idle air solenoid and see if the engine raves up and you can also perform a wiring wiggle test on all the wiring with the engine running and see if it dies. You can also tap on the fuel tank and see if it dies. These are a few things you can try to find what the problem is. As you see Mildred, when you get into dying issues it can be very difficult to find the problem. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Mildred.

First thing to check is if you're battery is charged. If it is, check the oil to see if you have oil in the engine that you didn't run the engine tight. Also, you have to check if you're getting power to the starter. With the description you're giving of the problem, it could be a number of things. Very hard to diagnose with the description you're giving.

there is a power steering component recall for this vehicle. Get it fixed for free at GM.

has the lighter been used a lot ? the element may be burned out , try the other lighter in the socket thats not working and see if it heats up if it does the you need to replace the lighter

Did you let a mechanic do any work under the dash? It's easy to miss one little wire that isn't part of any major system. Just tell him to put it back together.

you should be able to disconnect the battery for ten minutes to reset the computer this should also clear faults

I am not sure what your looking for on your throttle ? Can you give me some more info.

You should not have to unless you somehow messed up a abs sensor or connection. A scan tool would reset it and see which sensor is triggering the light. Also drive it for a day to make sure it doesn't go off by itself. Also check the back of the calipers where the connection is.

They're is no fuse for check engine. It's a message to you to get your car checked out because something is wrong. You can go to Autozone and get it checked out for free. Could be a number of different things wrong with it.

Some starters have 2 bolts and some 3 . Make sure your battery is disconnected. Remove he battery wires and some times you have to wiggle it to get it to move . Run your hand all around the starter to make sure all the bolts our out.
