While out delivering pizza I came across another supercharged cobalt owner and one thing led to another and I sold it off for 200 bucks basically giving it away along with the transmission i swapped out plus some other things i had laying around from taking apart my donor. Felt like it was a...

sorry forgot to update this but yes i basically gave it away not long ago

old headlights burnt out, connectors melted. put on new ones. night driving is much better now. still need to do repairs from when i stuck that hitch. need to clean up the garage too. roof, side curtains, and fenders still need done. stuck paying credit card debt for a long while so no idea when...

it is with a heavy heart that i announce the passing of this car. the car is making loud rattling, higher temps, tons of white smoke and coughing up water. the camshaft position sensor is no longer working again as well. the failing transmission bearings (I assume its the bearings) are loud as...

another status update. i bring good news. the replacement plug and wire arrived and i finished replacing that today. i took the car out for a 30 minute test drive twice with an hour rest between to see if any CELs pop up. the good news so far is that no CELs are showing up. yippie. also i got my...

Sorry for the silence. Before I go digging into timing.. Im looking into replacing the wiring as far back as I can and the connector too. Maybe I pulled on it too hard or something when installing the transmission. I dont remember if I was hasty and left it connected or damaged it by pinching it...

Sorry I forgot to show the pictures I took of it lined up here: looks like the dark link needs to be over on the exh side? the lobes in the video look to be at the same spot i remember when installing the sensor. one thing to note is that i couldnt find any other differently colored links just...

Good idea, I went and found it here P0341 and here P0340 charm.li is so nice to have. I'll read up on it tonight and see if I can do anything tomorrow.

I missed a connector and things went back to normal. The camshaft code is still coming up though. So... timing jumped a tooth, connector needs replaced, camshaft sensor housing needs replaced, or replace the wiring end to end? Bad fuse block? Fuse to the sensor blown? does it need to be...

I got everything lined up and replaced the sensor, put everything back together. Cleared the codes. After starting the engine and letting it run the codes came right back and now there is a P0480 code. One of the radiator fans kicks on right away at full force and doesnt turn off until 5 or so...

Iv been using charm.li as my manual https://charm.li/Chevrolet/2005/Cobalt L4-2.0L SC VIN P/ Back from a long break. Today I took the valve cover off and got a new gasket. The old one was leaking. Tomorrow I'll see about getting the timing lined up. For some reason I feel like the timing jumped...

Both and exact enough to make the camshaft sensor be happy again after replacing it. Although... what if the timing jumped a tooth? Suppose at that point there are a few videos I could find on that subject.

does anyone have recommendations for the simplest way to get piston 4 TDC on compression stroke?

Currently due to my health im unable to hold a job nor do i receive government assistance. thankfully i have family to help me. prior to this i delivered pizza in a chevy bolt.

waiting on replacement parts, its starting to get too cold. i went out for a ride the other day when it was nice out and i didnt have much fun at all. most likely going to be putting the kitcar away for the season and im not sure if ill bother fixing it anytime soon either. im heavily...
