How do you know it's only running on cylinder 1 and 4? Please elaborate some more.

 

don't know what happened to your balt but wanted to say hey to a local cobalter your the only one i have seen on here.

 

my fiencee is going to UTI collage and they have spent 2 days trouble shooting it and he believes it is either the coilpacks or the ICM but we had to have it towed to a dealership tonight so we know for shure

 

im not far from you guys...im actually in arlington heights...so can u explain on how ur balt is behaving and wat did it do prior to breakin down and running on cylinders 1 and 4?

 

exactly what I was thinking

 

yeah me and Robbie only have that car right now so it really stinks now cause not we have no car

 

should have conned the dealership in to giving you a loaner.

 

they were closed by the time we got there

 

that sucks

 

yeah but they might give us one tomarrow so that a good thing

 

Look at the bright side, you have the warranty and that will probably cover it. :-)

 

^ Exactly, this is why I value the warnity. Anything can happen just because cars are machines. Machines break....I love the GM extended warnity. 75k 7year bumber to bumber rocks. 13 second car with a warnity rocks! Cobalts ROCK! Good luck bro, maybe you can push for stage II since it broke. Being an ass to the dealer = more things for you. Maybe free install when they fix the engine.

 

Oy... nothing worse than a car enthusiast who can't spell...

Not to be an asshat here... but you did graduate from the 3rd grade... right?

Ya' know... warranty... bumper.

Do you actually pronounce those words the way you say them?

Bumber...

 

ICM is faulty, just had 2 for the same problem in the past couple weeks.

my car lost power to the #3 cylinder last year, the rocker arm came loose

 

i dont have the warrenty anymore so we will see what the dealership says today

 

Sounds like the coil pack or ICM. You can expect about $300 for either part. If you are handy, you can install the parts yourself. However, it's super easy, so dealer labor will probably be really small.
