      "same as the others 2009 cobalt check engine light on runs rough at stop lights took to independent shop had checked out it turned out to be intake camshaft actuator was bad .it controls camshaft positioning sensor which was the code from the check engine light $220.00 for everything ."

      My problem isn't occurring all the time, nor at specific times like stopping at red lights, going over/under a certain mph, etc. But it's becoming more and more frequent. I actually drove from a little under a mile just now. The car didn't idle weird nor did the light come on or blink, although I'm sure it would have if I would have drove much forever.

      I also read something about my coil pack possibly being the problem?....

      I'll post the codes as soon as I get them. I'm just throwing out a few possible "food for thought" solutions to see if any of you think that could be the problem.

      they are talking about Variable Valve Timing, which I believe your engine Doesn't have. but the Coil Pack and Wires are a good place to start diagnosing.

      I really don't know too much about cars, nor does anyone I personally know. We got the camshaft position sensor replaced by an act of Congress and a million tutorials online.

      So, when you say wires... What exactly should I be looking at? The wires to the sensor? And if they were bad, would this mean I'd have to have the whole car required? Also, do you know of a simple way to check the coil pack?

      I just thought of this.. Do you think it's possible that the part that it plugs into is wrong? We'll have it diagnosed in a out an hour, but we won't be able to look at it tonight because it's pouring here and has been since last night.
