Any Reason The Idle Would Be So Ruff On A Cobalt Lt 2006?

 

clean the throttle body

 

That seems to be the solution on the 2.0's. Couldn't hurt; its pretty simple to get at.

 

ok honestly your talking to someone who isnt the sharpest tool in the box, any how tos on this? or pics?

 

u could always run soem seafoam thru the car, and if you've never cleaned the TB off, im sure its filthy, mine was filthy after the frist year, nw i clean it every 4-6months

 

like a dog ruffs? jk lol but X2 about the throttle body

 

remove the big black thing under your hood...thats part of the stock air box. There should be a clamp holding it in place.
Once it's off, you'll be looking at your throttle body. Remove the 4 bolts holding it in place, unclip the wiring clip, and spray the inside with engine degreaser or throttle body cleaner or brake cleaner, etc. Use a Q-Tip to get at the hard to reach corners, and just clean it all out. Then reinstall
Maybe a 15 minute job

 

k thanks!

 

i forgot to mention this, but be sure to remove the throttle body before spraying it with cleaner!
Im sure you figured that much on your own, since i explained how to remove the throttle body, but i noticed i left that little detail out of my directions. You dont really want engine degreaser getting inside your engine after all...lol

 

yeah gotcha..if you know of any pics or have some let me know!

 

remove this black piece:


Then the 4 bolts that hold the TB in place. It will look like this when then TB is removed:


I have some other stuff removed, so it wont look EXACTLY like that, but you should be able to get it from there

 

sweet got it.....!
