I was tuned and have driven several other Cobalt SS cars as well as multiple 2.4 motors in various cars. I come from the CobaltSS forums (as do a couple guys I know on here), so that's to be expected. I can honestly say I've never seen a car that hangs RPMs like mine does. It throws codes for parts I just replaced saying they are out of sync. I replaced the engine PCM, BCM, and OBD-II port its self all under the emissions warranty (with 1k miles to spare lol). The car is a nightmare when its in a bad mood, but when its happy, look out. If it had ran okay, I'd have never bought the Mazda or ever got into modding, so its sort of a blessing in disguise. Only reason I even got into the CobaltSS forum was to figure out why my car hated me so much.
