My cars having some real issues. Went to start it this morning and. No powered steering. Abs light was on, check engine light was on, speedometer was going up on down and there was a foul smell coming from the car. Also a lot of shaking in the back end. Car has 46k miles. That is a whole lot to be going.

 

You dont remember the ditch you drove through last night.

 

This would make sense.

 

sounds like somone was drunk last night. did it all just happen or hav u been neglecting it also are you the only DRIVER

 

arent all the ELECTRICAL problems dealt some way or another through the BCM? maybe its going?

 

I'm the only driver. No neglection. Get my oil xhanges every 3000 and my 30,000 mile checkupp was fine. Reccently whenever I start the car sometimes it doesn't start at all and I have to wait and come back and than it will. Cars down though can't even drive the thing. Oh other weird thing. When I start it and its idle the rpms go up and down with no accel and you can hear the car reving. Weird right?

 

It's a Cobalt

 

throttle position sensor and maybe the BCM relay...atleast thats what it was when mine did it

 

check the 20 amp ign fuse under the hood

 

You must be older than me to know who Latka is.

 

yea i have the same problem well with the powersteering at least..
i drive down the road any it looses power...its a bitch to drive without powersteering...

Haha. ^^ I unplugged my amp a while ago. The only thing I'm running now is comps. My bat is doing 14v and my alternator was fine too when I did the old school test by pullin the neg lead.....

I tried starting the car today. Started just fine.....I don't get it but I'm getting a diognostic done friday

Have you had the ultra expensive 3 point fuel system clean done yet?

Maybe there is crap on the sensors needing cleaned off.
