Tomorrow I do my first ever part change on the Cobalt, replacing the throttle body.

Honestly, it seems pretty simple. Wish me luck though.

I am an apprentice electrician. Haven’t worked in about 2 months. Decided to do some DoorDash to kill the time. Cobalt nearly shook me to death. Followed by a check engine light. Put the code reader on it. Throttle Position Sensor. Unserviceable. Replace it all. It’s going to be awesome. I’m excited.

Disconnect the battery before you do it. It's 4 bolts and 2 plugs. Shouldnt take more than 10 min. You will still probably have to do the relearn. But not hard

Thanks, I will do that for sure. I will also read up on the relearn process. I guess I have been looking in all the wrong places for advice about this car. Haha

it’s really not a bad little car. I just used it to commute back and forth to work and kind of took her for granted until she gave me a scare. A little TLC will take her back up to speed.

Update! It went well and part manufacturer even included an idle relearn procedure. Seems to be doing well. Passed the fault test. 👍
