    Front End Noise Near Driver Side?

    Also, I checked underneatb the car and looked at the CV axles. They don't appear to be leaking any grease/oil, could they still possibly be bad even if the boot isn't torn?

    Front End Noise Near Driver Side?

    Yes I just tested that. I drove in a circle with my steering wheel cranked all the way to the right and then I cranked it all the way to the left. Both times I heard the loud clicking over and over as I was driving. I'd make a video to show you, but it's raining right now...and night time. Think...

I made myself a DIY evap smoke tester and it works perfectly. I haven't tested it in my car yet. My question is, where do I...

    Purge Valve Solenoid Help!!!!!

    Hi all, I have a 2006 Cobalt LT coupe. For about a month, I've had a few codes thrown at me and the dash tells me to 'check gas cap'. Gas cap is not the issue. I believe it is the purge valve solenoid. I can smell gas fumes at certain points around my car, especially around the engine. I...

    Gas Mileage Improvement?

    Gotcha, I get about 55mph at 2000 RPM. I'm usually good with braking but i'll def keep the open/closed throttle idea in mind. I really wish I could get my 06 LT up to 40MPG; like I said I'm stuck at around 27 MPG

    Gas Mileage Improvement?

    Thanks for the response, I usually have good driving habits but I'll make sure that I accelerate briskly as compared to letting it take its time to catch up to speed. I keep my tires psi at about 35 so I'll be sure to fill them up a little more and to ease up on the brakes.

    Gas Mileage Improvement?

    The headers I have are pacesetter. It wasn't an exact fit, so it had a nasty exhaust leak for months but now after taking it to a shop and having some welding and bending done to it, it's a lot better. My air intake and exhaust piece are no name brands. Just generic ones that I bought from a...

    3rd Cylinder Misfire. PLEASE HELP

    I haven't taken the head off yet, I didn't want to take it apart yet. For some reason I'm thinking it is possibly a faulty ignition control module? Because the car has had a few failed and hesitant starts, and I know an improper working ICM can cause that and also a misfire in the engine
