To all Cobalt/Pursut/G5 Owners!!

Check with local dealer and make sure your PCM is up-to-date. I did so a week ago and my idoling issues damn near dissapeared. Ask for any updated softwear. It's covered by warrenty. Meaning no charge to you. Also, best bet is to go down to the dealership personally and watch the Servise Adviser input everything. One thing you will need is your entire V.I.N. number (Vehical Identification Number). It's worth it to be 100% sure your car is at its optimal running capacity.

^^ Mine was doing the same thing. Also, when I would just about stall, I'd cetch it with the clutch and the idol would freak out and bog. But all is well.
