ya i bet you anything your fuel pump is on its way out. i've seen tons of cars act that way (not on the cobalt, but other gm's) and they all turned out to be the fuel pump.
shit forgot you had the stg2 cams. ya i would have bumped up the injectors and did you get a retune for the cams when winter hit.

your injector size is fine, trust me lol
the cam...well its going to cause it to do weird things
Im not driving much cause the valve guide seal issue, but i took it out today and DAMN did it love the cold air

basically it has to do with your oil being cold and thick, colder air being adjusted for, alot of things
i wont say its 100% not your fuel injectors, BUT when i installed mine and cams and alll the bolt ons, vince tuned and said i wouldnt have "needed" them

thick oil will cause timing chain rattle (hydraulic actuator) and eeverything from the oil pump to the rings are having trouble when it's that cold out. I would invest in a block warmer. my guess is it's those cams man. any engine with a lumpy cam with have trouble in the winter

here my answer
Block heater is on the exhaust manifold side of the engine towars the front of the engine.
Remove the exhaust shield, three bolts to into the head one into the exhaust manifold. The block heater mounts onto a bump out block on the block under/behind the exhaust manifold. If you look carefully between the space between the #1 and #2 cylinder exhaust manifold runners you will be able to see the mount. Install it with a cool engine.

they should as we all use the same block, and you do not need to remove the manifold to install the block heater, just go under the vehicle and you have access to it right there. there will be a bit of coolant that will come out when you install it just make sure to top up your coolant when your finished.
