Cobalt won't start in cold.

[clflorida]

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?

Has fuel? Battery good?

Does it crank at all?

 

[clflorida]

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...

 

[Bass_Waves]

Wait what vents????? Snap a pic plz.

 

[clflorida]

I thought they were vents...hold on..

Its normal if the plastic ecotec thing rattles hard af when the heats on right?

 

[Bass_Waves]

Dafuq is in there. There should nothing but a wiper motor back there. You have a 2.2 I assume. O.O

 

[clflorida]

Idk whats in there. Something I need I guess. Yea its a 2.2...

 

[Bass_Waves]

Imma do some research. Don't know what is back there that allowed the car to start.

I'm a moderator.

There's nothing back there but the wiper motor and associated hardware. Glad to hear you got it started.

I took it to oreillys for the check engine light. And it said the co2 sensor I think. She cleared it but will it turn on again?

Maybe she did say o2 sensor...smh I cant remember. Is there a way I can check them?

 

[Bass_Waves]

Depends what its calling for. If its like code. P0420 that's secondary o2. Means or catalytic converter prolly failed.

Oh i see. Well if it comes on again ill be sure to get the code. I noticed it says I have advanced airbags...how are they advanced?

 

[Bass_Waves]

Maybe cuz its 1999+ air bags? Lol
I have never heard of that

Haha. I totally forgot about that sticker. I gotta check my cobalt when I get home.
I know there's an air bag : steering wheel. Pillar A. Passenger. Seats air bags. Roof air bags. That's about it?
