If it works if you bump start it, why not run a new wire right to the starter relay, to a push button inside the car! Turn the key to on, "push to start", sweeeeeeet.

What about the starter solenoid? Not sure what the starter setup is like on the cobalt.

 

When replacing the starter it came with a new solenoid the people at auto zone did tell me my starter failed the test so I replaced it...looking into an ignition switch and tumbler...

 

I hate throwing parts at problems. I feel for you man.

 

Exactly what I'm doing but other than the ignition im running outta ideas... I can't throw anymore money at it if I have absolutely no idea where else to throw it at

 

Ok so after scratching my head for a few days I jumped back into it I took the supercharger back off as well as the intake so I'm back down to nothing...is their anyone that can think of anything I could do to possibly gett it running any hidden grounds could be cleaned anything I should test??? And one question the wire on top of the starter the bigger of the two posts has two wires connected to it one goes to the positive on the underhood fuse box the other to the stud on the alternator??? Thanks for your help guys

 

Bringing this thread back.

I'm having this exact same problem after disconnecting my battery. 98% sure it's the anti-theft because after establishing comm with the bcm its saying its in learn mode for the key re-learn and even recognizes my key as not learned but the gm re-learn procedures aren't working.

I'll let everybody know what I find

 

well i figured mine out... thanks for all the thoughts guys but I'm kicking myself in the ass this time lol... SHE RUNS AND STARTS yayyyyyy

 

and the issue was?

 

the crank fuse.... i checked all the fuses once and dint find one bad one...it was the second time i went through everything i found it... it isn't a normal fuse its a weird tall one which explains how i passed right over it...such a ******* thanks though for everything and she ended up with a new battery and starter oh well lol

 

Thanks for letting us know. It might help the next guy.
