I've had my 2006 LS Cobalt since Nov. 11 so i don't know much about. It snowed a few days ago and when it snows, the trees I park under have limbs that fall. So I had to move it behind my 2002 mustang. Well yesterday I decided to start them up. The mustang started fine, the Cobalt tried to start but failed. Surprise Surprise GMC. I poured some anti freeze and some gas in it. Still nothing. Idk what to do now. Can anyone help?

The fuel is almost half way, but I haven't filled it up yet. As far as I know the battery is good.
It does crank but just wont start. I did fill it up with more anti freeze today..

Apparently the check engine light has been on the whole time. I dont really drive it much so I never payed attention to it.

The manual says you maybe able to correct it if you do these:
Did you recently put fuel in it? No.
Did you drive through a deep puddle? No, so thats good.
Have you changed brands of fuel? No

So it looks like if I just fill it up with gas I should be good but well see..

Is the fuel pump running? High pitched whine when you turn the key on.

Check your fuses.

I filled it with gas and that didn't work. I opened the hood and noticed some ice was blocking the vents and melted that. That worked and its turned on right now. Ill keep yall informed if anything else happens.

Jw YelloEye are you an admin? There doesn't seem to be too many people on here...
