Need some help

I just bought my 2006 cobalt ss/sc and have done a couple simple mods like a full 3 inch agency power exhaust and a 3 inch cold air intake and just got my aem wideband guage and was really wondering what would be the next step to make some power with my car any tips or advice would be great thanks

Well make sure your ic pump is functional. Also do a comp test and leakage test to determine health. After good results look into a smaller pulley and injectors and cooling mods and a tune.

Yes all SS/SCs have them. If its not working you can overhaul it yourself and replace the brushes, or buy a new one.

ZZPerformance.com sells them for about 120 Dollars or so
The GM Dealership sells them for about 550 Dollars or so.

Below the intake manifold, lift up the car, look for a hose going into a black thing and one coming out, easy to see, even easier to replace, make sure u clamp ur hoses to, coolant would go everywhere!!!
