So I was just driving home and I revved it up a bit in 2nd while driving and dumped it and the car just died instantly ... not a kick in it. So I tryed starting it back up .. nothing. I was about to call roadside and I tryed one more time and the car started and seems to working fine now, but something deff went wrong there lol ... any ideas?

 

Wait. You tried dumping the clutch from a stop in 2nd? I dont quite understand what you did.

 

No I was driving along in 2nd .. if I did from a stop I could see something going wrong lol ... the roads were wet so I just tryed to break traction a bit

 

u dumped the clutch??? if the roads are wet u shouldnt have to do that?

 

Yeah I know I just did it enough to get them to spin ... I could of just of just floored it to.

 

Kay so you were driving along normally in second gear, then pushed the clutch in, revved it, and dumped it?

 

the car prolly just hick up'd lol

it should be fine

 

Did it say engine power reduced, and engine disable?

 

Well I was revving kinda high I just dumped it enough to get the tires to break traction and it died. Sounds kind of stupid and it was lol but I didn't expect that to happen and it shouldnt of.

 

well............ its a cobalt

 

Nope no CEL or nothing ... when it started up it started fine seemed like nothing even happened. I was thinking clutch or tranny but hopefully its good.

 

wet out u should be able to do that going 1 to 2nd. wtf

 

Yeah for sure I just wasn`t going that slow thats all .... and lately sometimes when making shifts the car bucks a bit so maybe something is going on it.

 

Was there wheel hop or just tire spin? I hopped so bad at the track once that I got a CEL, ABS, and BRAKE light.

 

Nope nothing it just died right away ... then when I tryed starting it the first time it seemed like the clutch wasnt grabbing or something.

 

You're still in warranty right?

 

Yeah I have an extended warranty till 100,000 but I don`t think it covers the clutch ... correct me if im wrong but clutch is only covered for 15 or 20,000 km? Something like that. Im probaly going to bring it in at the first of the week but if its working fine I dunno if they are going to be able to figure it out.

 

This doesnt really sound like a clutch issue though. I'd take it in and see what the dealer says. Dont tell them what you did of course. Just say you were passing someone in the rain and your car went "chugga chugga ping" and died.

 

this happened to my car probably 5 months ago. leaving a light hit about 10mph the car died all gauges maxed out tried to start and nothing. tried again and it started right up. it has never done it since.

 

maybe severe traction control bog. did you turn traction off b4 dumping clutch to spin tires.

 

he doesn't have traction control

 

Yeah no traction control ... soon as I let the clutch out it died didnt even have the chance to spin.

 

oh **** thought it was SS/TC. i fail

 

Limp mode. has happened to many people.

 

Yeah im going to take it for a drive see how its working ... should be ok to drive tho?

So I just took the car for a drive seemed to work fine ... I checked my interceptor and it was showing a p0335 code. I cleared it and it didnt show up again.I just checked its the crank position sensor .. any idea why this would go off?
