Noticing some things with my car!
Well i noticed about a week ago. when i come to a stop in first it seems to bog down and drops to .5 rmps. and then i began to put it in neutral coming to a stop and i just noticed it did it in neutral today. Does anyone know what that would be?
Plus my elecric steering went out and i was going to take it to the dealer but it wasnt doing it anymore than shortly after it began to do it. i checked the battery and it all checks out. Im gonna take it to the dealer some time this week.
Thanks for the help!

RPM flutters are nothing new for the Cobalt, they all do it. I believe there is a flash available that updates the computer & eliminates the issue.
damn, i was 1/2 second to slow

My car was doing the same thing too. Come to a stop, RMP's drop to near shut down, then rise back up again to normal. It's currently at the dealership right now and I'm waiting to get it back. Still under warranty.
I'm gonna be asking alot of questions though, because this (and many other problems *read my past posts*) only started AFTER I brought it in for a simple oil change.
