Ya I don't think they would say it was the system either, but just a thought!
My car also idles funny sometimes rpm's jumping up and down, I give it a lil and it stops doing it...
And I am not an ordinary girl... Instead of daycare as a kid, I went with my pops to his car dealership... So to say I have been around cars my whole life... He has taught me a lot about them... So now I am currently driving a 2010 Chev Silverado... RENTALS SUCK!!!
GM Just called to tell me my car has a Hair Line Fracture in my intake manifold! They spotted it while taking stuff apart to replace the head gasket valve cover (that was leaking and being replaced for a second time)... Anyone that has had this problem with their car(the fracture)? I'm thinking it could be a bad cast at the factory! and maybe that's why people have this issue? Let's hope it fixes it!

did they reflash or replace your pcm? maybe you could find someone with hptuners to scan your car and log it if you can get your dealership to let you in your car for 5 mins. this would help alot to know what exactly is going on.
It may or may not fix the problem, car is sensitive enough though

Its stock. They have checked the injectors and ran a chemical through the injectors cleaned them out. Did a smoke test to check for leaks. GM has done so many things to it, it makes me want to puke... 17k on the car, and I maintain my cars to perfection. This is a NIGHTMARE!!
And I do Not know if they are suppose to or not... Its under FULL warranty! I want a F---ing New Car!

No I don't expect them to replace it... They can't just leave me with a broken car they can't fix though its been over six months with the same code... And the dealership its at has a good will program just for these types of situations... So I would shut my mouth if you don't know what your talking about K! I might just get a new one! So I am having hope that they just fix it... Plus Lemon Laws are different in every state and it might qualify for a new one!

I won't have my car back by then, I'm not thinking anyways... they don't order many intake manifolds so we will see when the part is in... They supposedly over nighted it...

Awesome glad it worked all out for ya, yeah that is a nice pic of you, wish more girls like you with that kind of knowledge exist, my own sister doesn't even know how to change a tire. Man don't see any SS/SC cobalts over here in texas well in Austin all I've seen is one so far.
