Nah I will go around right turns and it will go down by itself.. the only way to get it back up is hold the master switch up and take a left corner so I rolled it up and pulled the pass switch for a quick fix

Not true, but i thought the same thing until recently. there is a thread floating around on here explaining how to fix it, i saw it pop up within the past week. it's because the voltage drops too much; the passenger side window is tied into some other electronic, so voltage is lower there than the driver side. if you re-wire it (the thread i found explains this), it's normal.

That sounds like a damn VW, first time I've heard of a cobalt doing this

How'd you go about doing it? I cleaned mine with carb cleaner and an old toothbrush. Got most of it but then I ran out of cleaner

Took it off... 4-10mm bolts. Unplugged sensors. Used seafoam deep creep and wiped it off with a rag/towel.

Thanks! It actually ended up being a rusted hole in the fuel line. So I'd def check that if you're having idle problems

Superchargedchicky hello everyone ;)

Also check the MAF harness all the way down. My old Balt had some exposed wires and they were damaged.

Fuel leak is gone but its still searching for idle every now and then and real jumpy. I just put a brand new MAF in so the harness is my next bet
