OK thanks for the advice I will do more diagnosis tomorrow when it’s light and warmer! I looked at the map didn’t have a chance to get much done before sun down, but I will focus on that tmrw and if I have any problems I will get back to you, also we are having a hard time fueling it up after half a tank it is almost impossible to get a full tank just doesn’t take it an spews out spout just realized that today as first time filling since buying not sure if that has anything to do with it ! And how I could diagnose and fix that issue thanks guys

Freeze Frames are captures of the available data perimeters the second the code is set.
I notice a couple things.
Your long term fuel trim has been having to add a lot of fuel and is almost maxed out.
Your engine vacuum is very low... only 10hg. I mentioned earlier that your map sensor may be leaking or not completely inserted. That would cause a vac leak commanding more fuel and show a low reading as it is. I would watch the pre cat O2 and spray some carb spray around the manifold and map sensor looking for the O2 V. to jump up when you hit the leak.

I was doing further tests today and used a different scanner that was able to pull abs and chassis codes ! I have pulled codes c0561 u2100 u2105 u2106 any suggestions on this or threads on this issue ?

I had tore the car apart about today to check the gasket in exhaust manifold! I removed the heat shield from on top of it and what do you know a long crack down then manifold , I assume this could be a possible so I got some high temp metal crack filler for manifoldss and patched it up waiting for the patch job to cure then I’m gonna start it up and see if still getting codes !

If the O2 sees oxygen from a crack when it normally only sees 0-2% after combustion it is going to command fuel. The crack filler probably won't last long but hopefully long enough to test it. I'm going to guess there are plenty of 2.4 exhaust manifolds out there from owners installing headers.

Hi I recently purschased a 2006 cobalt ss 2.4 non supercharged, the guy we bought t from explained here was a cel on and it was pulling a code for bank one running to lean, i thru it on a scanner my friend has and pulled the same code the guy said he has had it in the shop and they can’t figure it out he had car for 9 years starting at 40,000 km and it currently is sitting at 194,000 ! It is causing the transmission to shift hard from p to r and then from n to d and while accelerating from first to second gear auto ! Now I have looked at the maf it looks clean and no obstruction filter is clean I looked at all the wiring to the maf and o2 sensor all look good! So I am wondering what other procedures you guys would suggest to fix problem, car is in amazing shape , motor doesn’t miss a beat, from my research the transmission is doing this cause d by this code, and recently the tc light has come on with a code stating system off, that information incorrectly stored! Any help would be greatly appreciate!
I’d also check your tranny fluid too just to be sure. No dipstick but there’s a plug on the case you can use to check it, very easy after you jacke it up. Check it on four jacks though and engine running. Good luck with your slowbalt

Ive had this happen. Is there and O2 code pulling too for your sensors? It will run Bank one and Two and say high voltage sometimes. Check your Intake and exhaust solenoids located on the top of the engine if your facing it on the left. Change them, clear the code, run it till all monitors are run through and it “should” fix the problem.
