my 05 LS Sport Coupe is in the shop right now, awaiting a new catalytic converter at 5543 miles... WTF???

I got that code and it was because my gas cap wasn't on tight enough ;)

this is engine light #4... i checked the cap every time...

i work for a chevy dealer, and the service department has seen like 23 cobalts for engine lights in the past week. this is kinda upsetting to me, as I bought the first coupe to arrive at that dealer... grrrrrrrrr.... my luck is awful!

I had a similar issue and it was linked to a faulty gas cap...have them check the vaccuum seal in your gas tank, etc. to see if the cap is leaking. I forget exactly what code my car threw but since they replaced the gas cap with a new one I've had no problems at all.
