    RPM Tachometer fluctuation/bouncing/jumping/pulsating while driving on side roads

    Do you have anything plugged into ODB port, my scangauge cable is slightly damaged and if I bends just right make everything go wacky. On my 2010 impala some wire were chaffed under the passenger seat and would make the car not start and all the gauges would go blank while driving when...

    08 Cobalt Passenger side noise while driving CV moves up and down

    I picked a HF slide hammer a while back pretty handy for this task. On a 15-17 yo Stratus, it pulled the bearing apart, so I drilled a couple 1/4-3/8" holes where the bearing and spindle interface at a 45 degree angle, then took turns driving a tapper punch in each hole and then it came apart...

    Looking for new tires

    I started to put WRG3 on my Cobalt last fall, I generally only buy 2 tires at a time. Had them on for about 2 weeks when my daughter bumped a curb and pinched the side wall, so moved them to her Cobalt. Due to $$ I went to Entryes instead, then got lucky and found a used set of Hancook Ipikes...

    Looking for new tires

    I have Nokian Entrye on my for the summer tires 195-65-15 picked them up for about $55 each and mounted myself. After about 27,000 miles I can still see the 7 on the nokian tire wear marks, the number starts at 8 (mm)(original tread depth about 9.5mm and go down to 2, with a rain drop between 3...

    2008 cobalt with 250k

    I passed 210,000 miles a few weeks ago, 09 LS XFE coupe. Still original brakes, but have already done both front wheel bearings. Life time average of 40 mpg. I generally shift 2,500-3,000 sometimes skipping 4th. It's not how you accelerate nearly as much as how you don't brake to get good MPG.

    Weird and dangerous

    That makes sense, would have thought the alignment shop would have noticed. Where did you get the control arm? I got one off ebay, kind of wonder about the quality but the price was right. PS. I guess you had it aligned pretty quickly after replacing the parts so one probably just failed...

    Well this exists.

    Welcome, I have 2, 09 XFE Coupe that I drive just passed 203,000 miles this week. And 2010 Sedan LT that my oldest daughter drives. Mine was a Hail dent/salvage title and have only had to replace both front wheel bearings and a maf pigtail since I got it with 26,000 miles. The 2010 was a...

    Fuel Mileage Range

    Playing with resetting MPG on the fly this morning, I could only get the range to up 2-3 miles but have less than 2 gallons of gas in the tank, just over 500 miles on tank once I got to work.

    Fuel Mileage Range

    I doubt it, it calculates ranged based on your current average MPG x gallons in tank. I bet your current average is just lower than normal. Rest the average gauge on the fly and range will recalculate. My average is usually around 40 mpg, 43 today, when I fill tomorrow it will say I can go...

    Raining gas

    Could be just borrowing time, but it's been enough time to outlast the vehicles.

    Raining gas

    I've never replace fuel lines but have brake lines and use compression fittings so I don't have to flare the ends. When I needed a flare the parts store (Orielys) had short 6-12" long piece with flares on both ends, I cut it in half so I have two flared ends and extend with compression fitting...

    Lean Code Delemia

    No chance you might be getting some E85 instead of E10 or E15. Mine does ok till about E50 then gives a lean code. Higher Ethanol is also harder to start when cold. Maybe try a different gas station next fill, maybe somebody mess up filling tanks.

    Help

    All those sounds come thru the drivers door speaker, it's that or most likely the BCM, $600 when I had to have one of those replaced. I'd try the speaker first.
