Asked by Chris Jan 02, 2019 at 06:48 AM about the Chevrolet Cobalt

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So yesterday my car ran but it wanted to stall
whenever I stopped at a light or stop sign. Took it
to autozone got a system reading cause my check
engine lights on the system said stuff about a iac
motor which I don’t have the only other thing was
the throttle body. I put fuel system cleaner in the
gas and replaced the air filter. I go to start it this
morning and it start it only cranks but it sounds
like it’s trying to start.

If the codes say throttle body then it might be your throttle body. Should be easy to find a used one if you don’t want to spend a ton of money.
