Thanks for the responses and ZZP Info. Some thoughts: - At ZZP it looked like there is a $350 adder for "Custom LNF swap" that would push the price up to $900+, which I was hoping to avoid. - I thought about pulling the injectors, but since it seems to jump around from injector to injector on...

Thanks for the continued help and suggestions. Unfortunately I don't feel like I'm any closer to getting this solved. To summarize: - Initial Problem: Car died while driving down the street. Wouldn't start again, had to tow home and to a shop. - Shop said there were 2 error codes, Injector 2...

Thanks for the intel. I'll call the local dealer this morning to see if they would sell an ECM, programmed, to an individual. Or see if they would program one bought online. I also need to re-price the ZZP option since Flagship One doubled their price when they accounted for it being an SS.

The shop I had it at quoted me $1400 for a replacement, which they said they had to get through a dealer and get it programmed with the original load. When I first reached out to Flagship One they said ~$350. When I gave them the VIN they said it would be $700, and that would be programmed with...

Alright, after a week I was finally able to spend a little time troubleshooting today. Very unfortunate timing that this has happened during the Christmas party/concert and poor weather season. I started out looking for loose/intermittent connections. I found that, when I would clear the error...

Thanks for the responses! After my post last night, I also googled the two error codes and "Cobalt." I hit on a post on a Cobalt SS forum where they had a similar problem. They never confirmed the fix, but speculated it was the ECM. However, they also said they could clear the codes and the car...

Guess it has been a while since I've posted. I confirmed that the problem was not the horn by wiring it direct to the battery and confirmed that the horn blows. I didn't really want to dig into the wiring, so I bought an air horn that came with a relay assembly and wired it into the system...

Thanks for the responses. Thanks to Gtstorey for the schematic diagram and suggestions. The schematic is more or less what I expected. I need to confirm the dark green wire I see at the horn is the same as the dark green wire I see coming out of the block connector under the fuse block PCB...

Last weekend was Labor Day, so I took the opportunity to work on some upgrades to the Goblin. If you're on Facebook (I'm not), I had my bride ask for recommendations for third brake lights. After looking at some of the suggestions, I decided to get two of the Morimoto 5Stop lights. I was going...

It has been quite a while since I posted. In the meantime: - I trailered the Goblin to DF and talked to Adam > He looked it over and noticed that the clamp holding the coolant line away from the belt had shifted slightly and the hose was touching the belt. I was able to easily fix it by...

Question for the group. I replaced the steering arms with the stronger ones provided by DF. When I torqued the toe end into the arm, the one on the passenger side looked like it was sucked up into the arm too far (was squeezing grease out of the dust cover, in fact). Has anyone else seen this...

A quick update: 1) Extendable Steering Shaft to Power Steering motor: I was able to drill out the hole with a 3/8" bit and bought a bolt, washers, and locking nut. This seemed to work quite well. I can put significantly more torque on the bolt than the hex head screw, and the bolt now catches...

Good to know. I'll see what options there are at the hardware store.

OK, got back outside to work on the far tonight. 1) The Harbor Freight ball joint separator worked great. Thanks! 2) I went back and looked at the steering coupler and realized I misspoke... it is the 5mm Allen that it takes, and the thread is 8mm. But I confirmed that, even with the screw in...
