Hopefully, I can do the work myself but it does have some rotted rocker panels that may be over my head... we shall see

YES, I am subscribed, watch and comment on your son's efforts. He has the makings of a great career with his hands & KZbin. Gotta be proud of him! Anyway - Although it may 'APPEAR' you are making tons of money, don't forget it's your in-depth diagnosis (time) of all problems that get these rides done PROPERLY. Most people or garages would have changed the trans for starters and still had the problem. You're a good hard working man at your craft and always offer more! So glad RANDY turned us on to you a year ago. Thank you and be safe. Good job (again). Sonny (CT)

You can do the idle relearn at home on these, here's the process (I just did it on mine) Start and idle the engine in PARK for 3 minutes. With a scan tool, monitor desired and actual RPM. The ECM will start to learn the new idle cells and Desired RPM should start to decrease. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds. Start and idle the engine in PARK for 3 minutes. After the 3 minute run time the engine should be idling normal. MAY have to perform drive cycle at reasonable speeds (44mph) with several accelerations and decelerations/extended idles

State Farm threw it away, and the next day I bought a new 2015 Malibu. The only issue with the car was that ignition problem, which was taken care of under warranty.

I just bought a 07 Pontiac G5 & its the same exact car but, in a 2 door coupe. Since there is a difference in the fuse box in older models, & since yours is also a 07, I was wondering if you could look inside your underhood fuse box & tell me the numbers on a specific relay please? On the bottom of that fuse box there is 3 relays. The middle relay. Above that, there is a bolt, then a yellow 20 amp relay, then the RELAY ABOVE THAT 20 AMP FUSE???? SO, FROM THE BOTTOM MIDDLE RELAY, the next relay above that? What are the numbers on that relay? In my G5, its a 5 pin socket where as, COOL FAN-1, & COOL FAN-2 both are 4 pin sockets. The relay that I am missing, (the bottom middle relay, go up to the next relay directly above that) is the "COOL FAN" RELAY!!! I BELEIVE these cars utilize a 3 relay set up to operate the cooling fan & all 3 must be working properly for the single cooling fan to operate! I do know that the top left pin in that ("cool fan") relay socket, If you ground that pin, the fan turns on! So, I ran a wire from that pin to a toggle switch, & out to a ground under my dash to make my fan work! But, I would like my fan to operate properly without human input! Thank you!

@@d.j.9961 I don't have anything in that slot. I have the Omron 5510-0329 relays in the bottom 3 positions, then the yellow bolt, then a 15 amp fuse. Above that there's a spot for a 5 pin relay but there's nothing there. Sorry. The ones nearby are 5510-0329, 5510-0328, and there are a couple of 5510-0330 relays up above that. I will snap a picture and link it in a moment.

@@deadfox03 Thank you! See, that is exactly how my fuse box looks as well! There is a 5 pin, EMPTY spot in the spot marked "cool fan" then, there is cool fan 1 & 2..equalling 3 locations for a single cooling fan. In the few months that I have owned this G5, The fan has Never come on & with summer upon us, I am worrying & wondering if I need a relay in that location? I have seen others with a 4 pin, 2752 relay (13502752) in that location. I don't want to fry anything but, Can't help but wonder if the car requires that relay to be in place for the fan to operate low & high speed? My a/c does not operate so, I cannot test it that way. I do know that If I ground the top left pin in that missing relays location, the fan comes on so, I ran a simple 2 wire toggle switch from that pin, then ground the wire comming off the toggle switch. DOES YOUR COOLING FAN CYCLE PROPERLY? DO YOU KNOW AT WHAT TEMPERATURES DOES YOUR FAN TURN ON & OFF? THANK YOU!

I bought one for $100 because of basically same issues as yours.i opened the hood and immediately saw the tcm ground to the strut tower.it shifted fine but the instrument cluster was going haywire.the radio showed only the left half of the display.it shifted fine BUT had a very harsh engagement every where I looked on this car someone had KZbin remodeled one thing or another.SO. ...I did the old harness wiggle test sl the way to the fuse box inside the car,passenger side left kick panel (center column).and there is was in all it's glory....the radio fuse was vibrated halfway out.pushed it in and well.. everything works as designed at this time.goes to show you never overlook the stupidest shit.who would've thought a 15 amp radio fuse pulled halfway out would cause such vehicular chaos...lol😂😂.but hey...I got it for a C note.theryre not really bad cars...just misunderstood.

Wish I knew about the sway bar bushings when I had my '08. Those ARE really simple to change. Fuel filter too. Dang it this video makes me want another Cobalt again. I miss that black sedan I had, took it to 250K, timing chain broke, which is sad because the previous owner said they changed a chain on it but it turns out that was just for the water pump, I guess they have two chains in them. If they had been more honest (or savvy) I'd probably still be driving that thing. Other than the engine failing the only other issue I had with that car was a little rattle up front, bet the sway bar bushings were needed, because I had already bought struts and shocks and did brake work and did control arm bushings and tie rods and all that.

That's awesome. Must have a broken ground in the harness somewhere. best thing is your troubles you post here on YT might help others. You might want to change the title later on to something else like Transmission fix for Cobalt, so somebody else who's having issues can find it. That Meguiars is awesome. I use it for all types of polishing. Even headlights. i use the ultra cut after wet sanding paint. Turned out really nice! good luck on the sale!

I fixed my Cobalt with the same fix. It worked great, but then eventually the check engine light came on with a code for the TCU so I had the TCU replaced. After the replacement the car started stalling out while driving, but then would always restart. could the TCU cause the car to stall out while driving. It runs great while it is running.

Hey weird beard,, D.j.here, I have some questions for you regarding the red Cobalt! I just purchased a 07 Pontiac G5 & I have Never seen the fan run! The ac line is damaged so, the ac does not work! So, I cannot turn on my ac to see if the fan comes on! I have tested the fan & provided power to it & its fine, the temp sensor is fine also, My car runs between 183°-190° usually but, when in city traffic or bumper to bumper traffic, I have seen 211° & luckily I was then able to get on the interstate & the car cooled down! IF YOU LOOK IN THE UNDERHOOD FUSE BOX, THE BOTTOM ROW OF 3 RELAYS, THE MIDDLE RELAY ON THE BOTTOM ROW, ABOVE THAT, IS A SCREW/BOLT,THEN, ABOVE THAT IS A YELLOW 20 AMP FUSE THEN, THERE IS A RELAY ABOVE THAT! THAT IS THE RELAY THAT I AM MISSING!!!! IT'S A 5 PIN SOCKET In my Pontiac G5, that is the "Cool fan" relay then there is cool fan 1, & cool fan 2 which are both relay 0329 SO, RELAY #(5510-0329) I AM MISSING THE RELAY MARKED "COOL FAN" I see in your video that you have a 2752 relay in that spot & many other spots however, I also see that your missing a relay & I'm my car, I believe its the cool fan 2 location of which your Cobalt is missing. I would really like to know if the cooling fan works in that cobalt? Is it a single fan? Does high speed & low speed fan work in that car? Because, your missing the relay for cool fan 2 ( in my car, its a 5510-0329 relay. I am guessing that the relY box is the same because they (Cobalt & G5, hhr, ion, & Saturn vue) share every part. Does your fan work properly? The relay in the middle row, 2nd up from the bottom( bottom middle relay, above that is a bolt, then a 20 amp fuse, above that is the relay for "COOL FAN"... I REALLY HOPE YOUR ABLE TO ASSIST ME!!!! P.s. Tell Randy D.J. says wsup!!! SO, I PERSONALLY THINK THAT YOU NEED TO INSTALL A RELAY FOR THE COOL FAN 2 LOCATION...IF YOU LOOK AT THE UNDERHOOD FUSEBOX, LOOK AT THE BIG METAL + PIN IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT, ABOVE THAT IS 2 FUSES & ABOVE THOSE 2 IS A EMPTY SPOT, THATS FOR "COOL FAN 2"....

If you can find the factory ground that is failing you should fix that. At minimum, run a heavy wire for ground because, apparently, everything is getting ground through that one wire.

hey thinking about buying a 2010 chevy cobalt (4 door) 5 speed manual 100,280 miles on in, runs and drives good, body is in great condition, interior is good, mostly clean, buying for $2900 is that worth it? the clutch works fine, but im kinda worried it could go out soon. (not for any specific reason, but just because I'm paranoid) is this worth the price?
