So today i was driving my cobalt 05 ss s/c right when i was about to shift into third gear my rpms droped to zero but the car kept going then when i got to the stoplight it cut off and wouldnt not start back up.....wtf.....dealer is going to call me tomorrow about it.

 

try adding gas

 

Good one smart ass to bad i had a half tank.

 

The same thing happened to me, and now the engine is no longer in the car. I hope you don't have the same problem I do, or you'll be getting a new engine!

 

Bwhaha.

Hopefully whatever happened doesn't result in losing your engine like the previous reply...

 

yea i really hope not, 2k5 what happened to your cobalt.

 

Rockers decided to they didn't like being under the cams anymore, so they ran off and sent lovely metal filings throughout the rest of the engine to say goodby!

 

Same thing happened to mine, only happened once though... Dealer said it was probably the crankshaft position sensor, but I haven't had time to take it back in and have them order the part.

 

The dealer is going to call me today hopefully its nothing serious, but with my luck it probally is. I just got the car 3 days ago also.

 

I've heard of crank sensors going right away, just pray that the problem is just that.

 

Strange..

 

first and second year production... bound to have problems...

 

I just talked to the dealer, they said they have it aprt but cant find anything wrong with it, they say it may be the ignition, i am going back monday to get my rental.
