hey guys what up

 

snow melting pretty good, may have that car riding tomorrow

 

I think i have a blow-back problem... here is my issues.

Car is running rich causes the cat to smell clogged and the car to drive spiratically.
The ABS kicks in and then turns off as wheel as traction control.
The Thermostat still needs to be fixed.... again.

I popped my hood at lunch today to see that I have a blow back problem too. From cylinder 4 the valve cover is covered in oil, the intake has oil running down the pipe from where I belive the PCV valve is at.

The transmission is SLAMMING gears. It's fun, but scary to think my car.... with 32,000 miles is about to blow up.


Any ideas on where I should start? A buddy of mine owns a garage, but I'm broke right now. May try and get a stock intake tube again and drive it back to the dealer...

 

ouch, doesn't sound good. No chance for a warranty fix? I'd try that route first.

 

NM here just livin the very boaring Iowa life!!!!!

 

Okay... took the car to get the OBD2 ran today. Only code is the "Coolant Idle tempature too cold"

Looking at the motor though while he was scanning the car I think the Intake manifold gasket has given out. There is Carbon buildup like crazy right below the fuel rail on the driver side of the manifold.

Tomorrow is tear down day I guess. We shall see what it means for the cobalt. 32,000 miles and I'm ready to get rid of it.

 

Wow, I hope my SS doesnt assplode like that. Good luck with the dealer!

Thus why I'm not hopping on the mod train like some of the other 08-09 SS owners. I'll let them break it and find the weaknesses for me I'm not poor, but I certainly can't afford a new motor right now if I popped it.

 

Alright so what is it with people and them getting upset when I pass them on the right. If you don't want me to pass you from the right hand side....... MOVE OVER!!!!

Okay I feel better now.... Good morning Iowa..

 

Yeah i do that on I-80 and i235 all the time, people glare and then i glare back, its gotta to the point where its kinda funny. I hate it when people hold up traffic in the fast lane!!

 

My wife & I moved up here from FL, and I constantly get pissed off how people cruise in the left lane. I really love it when they pace eachother 2-3 wide

 

I know what is that..... I'll be cruising behind some car and we're doin' a modest 70-75 mph when suddenly he begins to slow because were coming up on traffic doing 65, thats my cue to pass before the pacing begins.....lol

 

I dont care what side your are on if its a 60mph zone and youre doing 50- you better close your window because here comes the WHINE!!!

 

the only time it doesn't really bug me too much is when i am rockin the stang, if your cruising in the fast lane going slow and i can safely pass on your right, i will blow your doors off lol

 

Having to pass people on the right is a big pet peeve of mine while driving. The left lane is for passing, not cruising!

 

Hey do any of you guys have a Stock 2.2L intake box and tube? I can't find mine after the move and need to get the car to the dealer to get my warrenty work done before i roll over the miles. I have 33,000 miles and warrenty is up at 36,000 or in july.

Windy as hell here today!

 

of course ya gotta blow by them and let them hear the screaming mimi. Gotta wake them up somehow...

 

the CAI shouldnt void any warranty.

I found out that third and wide open is excellent for passing when you are doing 70-75mph

 

What about the PCV valve... would a CAI have a direct affect on it?

Here is the car in it's resting place

 

Unless you PLUGGED the PCV instead of running it to the intake, you should be ok.

Having them blame a CAI on your car shifting like ass and belching oil everywhere would be a stretch.

 

Hope you get that fixed under warranty there Switt23. Doesn't hurt to ask the dealer some will work with you, most won't though. You won't know till you ask.........

 

I just called... the service manager said no worries. He said even with a CAI with 32,000 miles the car shouldn't be spitting oil. They're gunna fix everything . I get a rental on friday.

 

see if they'll rent you one of those V6 Camaros..... lol

 

He said it would more than likely be a base model malibu or hhr.

 

dude why are you hatin on the v6 camaros they make a fine winter beater and when there free its even better so thats why i got one
