BAHaHahaha!! ^^^^^^ I like him.... So what are you doing about your car throwing that code??

 

im bringing it to SMG were going to data log it then bring it back to the shop and adjust the tune. should be cake he said on the phone today.

 

basically lower rpms/idle my tables were slightly lean from adding a 3" intake, and just needed a slight adjustment in fuel. now shes a happy car but i dont think that helps your situation i sorry.

 

My baby is doing great... I drove it on a long trip this weekend about 400 miles total... She did awesome, no lights, no nothing... SO I am hoping that it stays this way...

 

good to hear

 

I had my cobalt at the same dealership and saw yours there. I was talking to one of the guys there and he was saying they have tried EVERYTHING to fix your problem. After reading this thread I can see he wasnt joking! Youve been through hell with this car. Im sorry! Fell lucky you still are under warranty! I just payed~$500 to have a bunch of electrical issues diagnosed and having my body control module replaced. It fixed the problem. I have a misfire too and asked them to check it out. They decided to check my coils but couldnt after they stripped the heads on the cover bolts..... I guess they were stripped before it got to them...... right..... I had to drill them and back them out with my easy outs. Gave me a deal on new bolts and a free re-diagnosis when I come back. Anyway, hope your issue is fixed! Oh, we have a more local club here at www.rockymountainecotec.net if youre interested.

 

Strange, I have an 07 SS/SC too and never had a problem with it... other then horrible cheap plastic all over the place its been a nice reliable car to me... It appears you have bought a lemon.

 

I dont think its a lemon.... It was the intake manifold that was causing the CEL issue.... I am hoping that it stays fixed... I love the car...

And I have full warranty (bumper to bumper) until the end of August so if it has anymore issues I hope its before then...
But then I have the power train warranty for 5 years or 50,000 miles... It currently has just hit 20,000 K.

I think Ill be fine, and I am not planning on keeping it for another 3 years...
I'll need to upgrade before then...

 

The 07 powertrain warranty is actual 5 year/100,000 mile.

 

Nice to know... Thanks..

 

If they keep fixing it and fixing it then they're doing a half-ass job at it then, your car shouldn't be problematic if you taken it to the dealer multiple times. Hope you get it fixed permanently before august then!

 

just checked my header and there was a lil crack in it =( thank god i have a welder haha.

btw the crack was on one of the original welds

 

hey i also have an 07 ss/sc, i just started throwing the p0171 code, when it comes on my exhaust pops really loud. sorrry i don't really want to read 8 pages so did you ever find out what your problem was???

 

ya the problem is its a cobalt haha

 

lol true story

 

i love mine but damn they are so gay at times lol.

 

i like mine, but wish i had kept my cavalier in the end, and bought a fullsize silverado to bag or newer s10

 

Hairline Fracture in the intake manifold.... The car has been great since.... I haven't had any codes...

 

well next time im in utah you need to show up to a cobalt meet.

Haha... okay maybe I will take some more pics... but at the moment I have more important things to do... lol

 

Alright! Keep us updated...

 

uh oh... i had my intake ported and polished by OTTP, i hope that isn't my problem!
