A bit of a list actually, I spent about four hours today working on it. When I picked it up it was seemingly okay but soon the idle started wavering to the point of the motor stalling and then the check engine light came on and the front rotors and pads are done in today I took off the throttle body and cleaned the thick layer of gunk off of it and replaced the spark plugs. Did a compression check which came back good and checked all the ignition coils which are fine. Spent most of the time trouble shooting the check engine code which I've come to the conclusion is the Supercharger Inlet Pressure Sensor so I ordered one from a dealership and am picking it up/installing it tomorrow! All in all I'm hoping to have her running normal by this weekend.

Welcome! I drove down to florida to get my second cobalt which is identical to my first on only in horrid condition. I was blindsided by desperation and a salesman. I busted my ass to get it to perfection! After this simmer it will be show room perfect and then the build begins. Again welcome! Dont be afaird to post questions but google a little first.
