Blown LNF motor?
Well I got into the car the other day onto the highway and all seemed fine, except the big blue cloud behind me..
09 cobalt ss/tc
Anyhow at idle it's throwing 44 to 2 misfires constant.
Runs kind rough, sounds like it's missing ^
driving is alittle different kinda jerky at times, no cels yet.
Any boost at 10 or higher leaves blue smoke, gm stage 1 full boost looks like a diseal but blue... Can smell oil just driving normal at times, when I stop and turn it off I smell coolant at times also? I'm lost has ran fine than this...
I was guessing turbo after the first pull and noticing, but after reading seems alot worse..
Opinions and guesses.?
It's going to the dealer Tuesday morning

OP if you want to try to save face, I would get the car towed to the dealership to make it look like you stopped the car when it started smoking.
Don't drive the ******* thing in with a flashing CEL and smoking. They will **** on you.

Guys I took it to the dealer when it started messing up..
They scheduled me out 7 days and I told them it was my only car to drive..
They said drive it, it will be fine, I was like wtf it's missing and the check engine light it flashing..
They responded there is no techs available to check it out till tue..
Check engine light went away and car was still alittle rough.
Driving it to and from work it 6 miles Rt. I'm not boosting It at all and babying it.

Also it is not smoking havent seen the smoke since the pull onto the highway before I found out something was up.
Man you guys are harsh, acting like im just out boosting and driving for the hell of it.
Like posted above the car is not moving unless I have to go to work, and it will see no boost on the way to work or home. The check engine light just came on yesterday moring but I have to go to work for the next 3 nights before it gets to the dealer apt. the check engine light came on earlier this week but went back out.

Ive decided the car will be going monday moring to the dealer first thing, ill make it there before there open from work. They said they dont have anyone till tuesday to work on it but I think they can pull someone to figure out whats up and send me on my way with info.
Im just amazed that I took the car there wed. and they scheduled my apt for this tue.!? wtf

turbo flutter is bad, but unless you boosted around town for a week or more.. then the TC will most likely have a few bent blades on the wheel, on either side.. you wouldn't be able to tell or see it, but if you used a caliper to measure the blades, then you know exactly if they're bent.. if the blades are bent - it will be a matter of time until the blades start hitting turbine housing wall and disintegrate into pieces or destroy the bearings or the shaft itself.. ask me how i know..
They don't come apart by themselves...
