So my car is now only getting 200 miles per tank and i was like what the **** it might be a fuel pump but it turns out i had a blown injector. At least the dealer is replacing on warranty. He tried to tell me its a known issue in cobalts. WTF

 

this is the first one i have herd of common huh if its common dont GM need to recall these then

 

There was a recall by GM about the injectors failing on the 2.2.

 

Wow! Good luck!

 

did u feel a noticeable difference or just noticed the difference in ur fuel economy? ur injectors might have not been failing, just not rated to the factory specs of the car so they replaced them. Its not like you had one stop working or something... did they replace all of them?

 

no recall cuz most of us are on 42's or better so no ones complained

 

Yea I had that happen to me also it was about when I had 15k on my car. The engine light came when i went on long highway runs. In the city it would turn off. I went to the dealer and they replaced it for me also under warranty.

 

yeah this is true

 

I also blew two on my 05 ss/sc stg 2 last month and my car only had 19,100 miles i also noticed it by the mpg reading. only 175 miles to the tank!

SSUUCCKKEDD

 

you cant notice any difference but the gas mileage sucks. I have to go back tuesday and there replacing all of them. I so bad want to upgrade my injectors but i cant because i am a 2007 2.2. It sucks no one has hacked the automatic yet.

I get 200 miles to a tank now is all for the last 2 weeks. It sucks. I still go 2 weeks though on 1 tank of gas since i only live 3 miles from work which is nice.

I think this is just a start for me with breaking **** and once i get my catback exhaust on, my header i ordered from ebay and my soon nitrous kit i think i will be breaking more stuff, lol.

 

well car is at the dealer today since 7an and they gave me a trailblazer 2008 to drive and i hate it. Its way too big of a suv in my opinion. They told me my car was idiling rough too so there will look into that. Still no call yet and it cant take them that long to change out injectors.

 

theres bulletins on the 2.4 injectors as well...ecotec injectors FTL

 

car in still in for service and i just called them and the service department said they have still not heard from them and i said well is there any chance today and he said no. WTF. How long does it really take. This is why i hate taking my car to the dealer.

 

well the job only pays 1.0 hours for the tech to do it..and that INCLUDES the reprograming that follows the injector change...if its taking more than an hour they either didnt have the parts instock and have to get them from another dealer or they are stalling...find out which one..
i did one this morning and it took me all of about 30 minutes to do the whole job

 

Doesn't a recall mostly pertain to safety issues? Most parts issues become TSB's and the dealer never tells you about those openly.

 

Well they just now called me and said my mph is back to normal now and they put all brand new injectors in my car and then reprogrammed it. He said to come and get it tommorow in which i will do then i have to go back in another week to get my front windshield put in because my the seal was starting to peel off so there replacing the whole windshield but needed to order one for first.

 

What dealer did you go to? Sounds like they are taking care of you!

 

coit and plano pkwy but dont get me wrong dude there not the best but this time they were good. I had alot of problems with them when i first bought my car as there body shop sucks at painting.

 

Huffines... hey that is where I got mine. That is where I am taking it to Saturday I think... if I find the time.

 

Well there is still a problem with my car with the gas mileage. So the last full tank of gas running in b&m shift stage 1, i only got 185 miles. The dealer told me i will need to fill up my tank again to see it go to 300 miles per tank but i just filled up this morning and it says 205 miles for a full tank of gas.

So i put 11.5 gallons of gas in and i will get 190 miles to the tank = 16.5 miles per gallon,
(all city driving <45mph)

Would driving under 45 miles mph 3 miles to work each way really make my gas mileage go that low.
