Wtf.... - YouTube
why why whyyyyyyy

Got retuned.. car ran ******* perfect.....
came home that day and parked it.. spent the night at the girlfriends.. was out all day the next day, didn't touch it.. spent the next night at the girlfriends.. woke up next morning to come home, start the car and this happens.....

why god whyyyyyyyyyyy

 

Not sure if cobalts are the same as cavs but it is similar to when we have to do a theft lock relearn...

Dunno why it would do that but..

 

say what... not following ya

 

Try unplugging your MAF and see if it'll stay running.

 

Does it restart?

My car does this when its cold and then go to restart and will sound like it has cams till it gets over itself and idles fine.

 

On a cavi you have to do a passlock relearn...

It will do exactly that...start and run for a few seconds.....but I guess im way off base lol

 

went full rich then lean is it getting fuel?

 

Ya it almost seems like your MAF isn't reading properly.

 

What if it does?
Wha if it doesn't?

Plan on checking the maf out when I get off work today..

Also, sometimes there is a terrible vacuum leak.. Like it'll idle like its got cams and idle at like 8hgz or whatever. When it normally is like 20hgz.. And when it stalls out like in the video, the vacuum is at like 0hgz..

Also, it only does this sometimes.. Sometimes i start it and it's fine. Sometimes I start it and it just sounds like its cammed and then it'll rev real quick and be normal..

Also have a p1101 code.. It only comes on after driving for like 3-5 minutes.. I can delete it and it'll stay off UNTIL I turn the car off, restart it and drive for a couple minutes..

Just think I should unplug and see what happens?

 

This same issue happen to me on my 05 SS/SC i had to take it to chevy they repaired it was an electrical issue with the wires cost me $300 to repair :/

 

What exactly was wrong with it?

 

They just said the wires were chewed up so they just repaired them.

 

sounds like you got ripped off

 

Haha sure does.. Any idea what wires? Someone told me to check the wiring to the maf so maybe that's it

 

who tuned you

 

Tom.. Wickedss.. I know it's nothin tune related though. And I left his place the day before with a perfectly running car

 

Prob did get ripped off but you know what the issue was resolved so its fine it's just money can always get it back.

 

try keeping the car running

 

Just unplug it and see if the car starts and runs. It'll basically be in SD mode. If it'll sit there and idle, then the maf is bad, or something is going on with the wiring, look for pinch / rub points, could even be the connector not seated properly.

 

P1101 Intake Air Flow System Performance -PCM

 

If I give it a little bit of a gas, the problem is stronger then my foot I guess you could say, and it'll bog down and die.. if I keep it above like 4k for about 30 seconds then it's good to go..

Alrighty..I'll shower and head out to the garage and report back!

 

sounds like you have a vaccum leak that needs fixed

 

Where shall I start looking? Line coming from top of the manifold is good. Where else?

 

because you touch yourself at night

sorry had to do that...

anyway i had something like this happen to me once after i cleaned my throttle body.. ran like ishh then died. also had the 'eng power reduced' on DIC, but anywho i unplugged battery, then after replug i started it twice then i was fine

 

I'll try that too
