well last sunday my car went into limp mode for a while until it started up fine again but im having troubles now with shifting to 2nd gear when i give her...before i would stay around 4500 rpm's as i shifted and higher now i'm between 3000-3500 rpm's nothing higher, nothing lower but i rev the same as i shift into 2nd gear so i'm wondering if there is such a thing as an after affect on the cobalt ss/sc for a while until it gets back to normal or not?? and this week twice i turned on the car and it seemed like it didnt want to turn on but then it forced itself too... any suggestions on what i can do?? dont wana take it to dealership since they'll be giving me the run around so i'm trying to figure out an alternative solution...

 

you could try un-hooking the batter for a couple(10-15) minutes and see if that would help.

 

have u had the limp problem yet?? and if so is that what you did??

 

im having that ******* problem as we speak , im on my damn schools computer while my battery sits un connected , i just want to go home

 

let me know how it goes b/c i havent disconnected it yet i'm wondering if any other people have had this problem and what they did after it went on limp mode...

 

disconnect you battery , it will work this is the second time its happened to me in the last 2 days , if that doesnt work then it might be your throttle body sensor

 

ah and then that wont be covered under warranty i bet??? well i'll disconnect it tmrw @ work for a few mins but i ran against a civic 2nite and when i was switching gears it stayed around 4200-4500 rpm's so it acted like it was normal but i should unplug the battery just to make sure eh?? and yes i put 5 cars on a civic in 3rd gear..LOL..

 

They sell a little blue wonder pill that will fix your limp mode. Its ok man, admitting you have a problem is the first step.

 

lol...well good thing it aint that thing that's being limp..lol its the car for now...maybe when i hit 90 i'll be needing those pills..

 

you should go to the dealer. it appened to me. i went to the dealer right after the car restarted. it was my Crank shaft sensor. i told them it was on a heavy acceleration and they changed the sensor. they are know to failed.

 

When it happened to me I went to the dealership and there were some engine wires that were rubbing in the engine and it was almost shorting the car out. So I would take it in. Because you never know...

 

id like to see the look on the gm techs when i take my car in with a 2.6 pulley 60lbers , full exhaust , and a wideband , there gonna give me the old chuckle followed by i think you need to get the **** out of here

 

LOL that is why i try to keep my warrenty.
