Iv had a problem with my cobalt jumping time before, and I believe it just happend again. The first time it happend I was racing a turbo dodge truck, but this time, i know I wasn't gunning it anwhere or anything. I'm hopeing to take it in tomorrow or Friday, if my schedule allows.

I was also wondering if anyone could think of anything that would have caused it, does it happen often, anything I can do to keep it from happening again?

Thanks

 

new chain and tensioner.

idk why that would happen unless the chain is old an streched. did you replace the chain last time it happened?

 

Yeah, my tensioner was bad, and it was my dad who fixed it. I'm sure he wouldn't put a faulty part back in my car.

It's weird though, I noticed on my boost gauge, that the needle would get stuck every now and then on my way home from work. Then when i shut my car off and turned it back on, my check engine light was on, and couldn't get boost in first gear, and only 4 or 5 in 2nd, 3-5 are alright I assume, though im hessitant to try with my car in it's current state.
