    Hi Tricia Hedrick, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box? Hi. Even though the engine light goes off, the computer has likely stored the issue in the history data. Have the computer scanned, and ask the tech to read any historical or pending trouble codes. Write them down and post them here for help.

SOURCE: 2006 chevy cobalt woulnt start lock light is on

Are you using the original key that came with the car? The chip in that key may have gone bad. Try using the spare key that should have come with the purchase of the car. You may also be having battery issues. If all else fails....call the people who really know how to rape you...DUM Dum dummmmm....the dealer

SOURCE: why does reduce engine power light comes on chevy

That is a hard problem to pin point without knowing what codes the computer has stored. It can be any number or sensors or engine problems.

You can go to most auto parts stores and they will pull the codes for you for free.

SOURCE: engine power reduced

you may need to take this to a dealer
you need to find out if
CODES P1516,P2135 and/orP2138 are set in HISTORY
check the julian date on the PCM
under the hood drivers side just in front of the POSITIVE post there is a cover remove that cover that is the PCM
on there there will be a sticker with a bar code and numbers
look something like this * 8 6 Y N AU K 1 5 3 2 5 0 R P N *
the 9th,10 11 and 12th digit
if the PCM has the numbers BETWEEN 5182 and 5304 then the PCM will need to be replaced
see the number i used is NOT EFFECTED it has a 5325
if your is NOT EFFECTED
then mostly will have one of the codes listed
will need to be diag. APP sensor
hopes this helps
and not sure how many miles you have on the car
but they have a POWERTRAIN WARRENTY

I have a 2010 chevy cobalt. Engine power reduced light came on I took it to Autozone and had it scanned. Two codes popped up, p1682 and p0325. What could be wrong here?

As far as the cobalt, check tac/throttle actuator control. Below is circuit description for p1682.
The other codes was for knock sensor.

Try new spark plugs and wires, or an overall tuneup. This is a fairly new vehicle, shouldn't be to much wrong with it, unless it just haven't been taken care of.

Check the drive belt,and the alternator,most likely if the belt is still on,and it is running on the pulleys ok,then the alternator maybe out,have it checked,with out the alternator working the engine will not perform.
