Should I buy this Cobalt

[YelloEye]

When I turn it all the way to start it it cranks and when i let it go to the on position it will keep cranking on and off until i either turn it off ot release the clutch

That's the normal start function on cobalts, just need a quick flick to begin the startup procedure. Not sure about it repeating though as I've never had it not start.

when I flick it I get one good crank and the rest are just short bursts about the same pace as the four way flasher. Would disconnecting the battery reset the security system and let me start the car?

Unlikely but it couldn't hurt to try it. 30 minutes is a full system discharge once you unhook the battery, I'd try 10 minutes to start with.

Is fuel actually getting into the cylinders? You have fuel in the rail simply because the fuel pump works, the motor will turn off the injectors with the security system.

Still wont start after 10 minutes with the battery unhooked. I'm not sure if its getting gas to the cylinders though. When I had the plugs out to clean them they smelt like gas. How would I check for fuel to the cylinders?

 

[YelloEye]

I think the plugs should be a little wet. What's the tailpipe smell like? If it smells like fuel you're golden there.

I say do the 30 minute key relearn and see if it works. Have another key or just the one?

Just the one key

 

[YelloEye]

Hmm.... I'm thinking that since the security light is going out almost right away that it already knows the key. Can do the learn anyway to rule it out.

How do I do the relearn? When I click the link on the website you gave me it says forbidden

Injectors work. Just pulled the fuel rail and injectors and bumped the key and they sprayed

 

[YelloEye]

OK.... Weird... You have fuel and spark...

Key to on for 10 minutes, off for 5 sec. Repeat for a total of 30 minutes and 15 seconds. 3 cycles.

Yeah got fuel and spark but no go. when I bumped the key again with the injectors out it started to want to run from the gas in the air above the engine

I'm working on the key relearn now. I wish I had a scan tool so I can check the stored codes

Did the relearn and still wont start

 

[YelloEye]

It might be flooding.

 

[SonicStatic]

When it cranks it doesn't even try to run. the guy gave me some sensors that he changed but I have no idea what they are or where they go.

Crank. Cam.oil pressure maybe. Absolute pressure sensor?

Bottom 2 are cam and crank

Soooooo from Whitby are saying. Its not getting air????? Check the intake throttle valve. Take off the inlet to it and see if it will crank over without restriction

The black plastic on connecting the TB to the air filter? On or off it does the same

 

[Bass_Waves]

It is an electrical issue because previous owner hacked it over fixing it right. It has codes stored. Be great to pull em.

Just pulled the injectors again, and pointed the up in the air and cranked it and it started to run

 

[Bass_Waves]

Try to burn off everything inside the cylinder. Then put the injectors back in. Plugs may be wet

How to I burn everything off?

 

[Bass_Waves]

Crank. Let the plugs spark and it will start to burn off. When its dry enough. Put the injectors in. Also pull the fuel pump fuse so it doesn't make a mess while Ur cranking it.
