    06 Cobalt LS, No Crank No Start and Weird Electrical Issues

    Re check all the grounds. Test for + AND - at the coil module. Look at the grounds all clustered together at the fron of engine. You may need to add a ground to ECM aluminum case, internet states jump starting a Cobalt fries the internal ground. fyi, I'm trying to sell mine before IT craps out!

    Cobalt 2006 NO START after removal of ecm

    I had a bad ground connection to the top of the valve cover, coil connector. It will not start without it. I originally checked for + voltage by connecting pin to voltmeter and voltmeter to battery ground, so I though the coil connector was not a problem. Replaced coil module and plug wire/coil...

    Electrical issue. Banging my head

    Check for good ground connections at front of engine. The wire bundle has around 6 ground wires connected to a bolt. ANyone of them corroded will drive mechanics bonkers because they focus on codes and sensors.

    Check engine light (AGAIN!!#)

So, at first I never suspected the newly replaced purge valve and spent money on everything else, smoke testing pressure testing...

    2008 Chevy Cobalt Battery Always Dying

    Maybe I can help. I have a 03 Cobalt which runs fine and a 95 T-bird that drains the battery. So here are some pointers. 1. It is possible to buy two batteries which are both bad regardless of car trouble. 2. You need to measure how much current is leaving the battery with key out, lights off...

    Car won’t start

    Try adding a temporary ground wire from metal housing of the ECM to ground. Also, what year Cobalt? If it has the ignition pack on top of valve cover, check for a good ground and positive 12 volts in the harness.

    Brake Issues

    You need to look for leaks everywhere, not just at the wheels. Get the car up into the air a bit so you can look underneath while someone pumps the brakes. Be careful, make sure the car cannot roll over your head. If there is a leak, you may see it squirting fluid somewhere. By the way, with...

    PO455 Code

    OP may have moved on... My 2006 has had the code for 5 years now. Been to more than one garage and I try to figure it out every spring. I'm convinced now it is the ECM. Gas cap is first thing to check. Then my preferred order of testing is this. Remove the two solenoid valves and bench test...
