ok... my engine oil dipstick popped out once... but i havent brought it in to service yet...
cause i got a nitrous kit... so.. i have to take it off.. but the problem is ..
I just got home... i stopped by burger king... and as soon as i drive off muffler sounds like weird.. like its broken off or something.. and check engine light came up not only that it started blinking.... it sounds like loud motorcycle....
i know for sure ...i need to replace gasket..
but would it be my engine breaking down..??

anybody??

 

Um i read somewhere in the manual if the engine light is blinking its the Cat but i could be wrong i dont think a gasket would make the engine light to blink if it blink it could be serious

 

hmm...
it sound like choppers motorcycles...really.. bad sound...

 

i'm no mechanic, but i'd say motor blew.....do a compression check, also check your fluids, when i had a bad exhaust link it sounded like a really pissed bumble be not a harley, is it vibrating really bad?

 

maybe the flex pipe blew off. Ive heard of that before i think they used a 50 shot and it blew it off.

 

my flex pipe broke. What engine do you have?

 

yeah.. it has been vibrating.. but.. not like this time...

ive got 2.0 SC..
but i havent been using nitrous.. for about since the dipstick popped..

would a flex pipe easy to fix?? where could it be located at?? at the muffler shop?? the cost??

well.. addition to that .. ive got aftermarket muffler.. but.. everytime i go over a bump.. hard enough... as soon as the back tire drops.. some kinda metal hitting with metal each other..."Tung.."
i went to the shop and they said it was that hitting the heat shield but would that it??

 

^thats my name

 

hey..guys.. i just took it to tuffys to check it...
and there were nothing from exaust..and they said.. engine misfiring...
so my engine is about to blow/??

anybody??

also... how do you check if the spark plugs are bad or not/?? about the colors..
its really black...

 

nah, sorry, but from what I have HEARD that if it blinks yyour screwed

I quote not sure who though met him at a car meet " if you check engine light is blinking you should have been at the dealer YESERTDAY!"

and there were like 3-4 other guys saying the same thing at the meet, soo... just whatI heard but call the dealer deffitnly

 

I am never putting NOS on my cobalt people been blowing then up left and right with it

 

Hey bud, I had the same problem... horrible sound and engine light blinking = pistons misfiring!! my misfires were due to corroded wires going from the ignition module to wherever they go!!!hehe

also...If your piston or pistons keep misfiring you will screw up your catylzer! not too sure on the spelling but hey i'm french!!hehe

 

got it...
it was spark plugs...
3 of them were horrible looking and the last one had the wet fuel around it...
thats why it was misfiring.. so it is a lot better...
still gotta..oil leak.. so i gotta change head gasket and intake gasket..
anyone got them on sale??

another question..
for the oil leak...
do i need a head gasket?? or intake manifold gasket.??
does intake gasket and exaust gasket the same??

 

Well if you needed a head gasket there would be coolent in the oil. Second intake gasket is where the supercharger is under it and the exhaust gasket is where you header is

 

N2O that great problem creator!

 

where should i get the head gasket at??

 

ya your head gasket went. Try www.cobaltperformanceparts.com

 

would it be hard to install?? how much would it cost to install it by pro?

 

you have to take apart the top of the engine i believe. It would require 1-2 full days of work. There is a how-to i believe. I think it would cost like 250 maybe by a pro but not sure.
