2012 juarez, my 2006 ss just had that problem and my engine light was on. if yours is on then get it scanned at autozone. mine was the thermostat. most likely the same thing
i put a 3 ft wing, and some honda stickers on the back of my cobalt lt with the same engine and now when i take it down to the strip with my bros/boys it can do like a 1 second quarter mile. the front tires just go up in smoke the whole way, also causes lots of strain on the neck, but this car is madd quick
The 2.2s didn't have Variable Valve Timing until 2009. The 2009 and 2010 2.2 Cobalts should have it though. The HP and Torque difference is very minimal from what I'm reading.
doubt it. unless you have a supercharged or turbo ss your not 1 or 2 seconds faster. Maybe 1/2 a second faster if your manual and if your auto exhaust and intake isn't adding enough power to cut 1-2 seconds off your time lol.
@coupe3kgt you are sort of correct. my mistake its actually about .75 to 1 second faster. i timed it with a timer instead of counting in my head so i counted a seond faster in my head. but i didnt time it when my engine is below 195 F. when im going somewhere, usually far distance my car will hit 200 F and thats when i time it.
I have a 2007 Lt3 stock with the 2.2 4 cyl man trans. I have recorded my 0-60 times between 7.4 and 7.8. my buddy has the exact same cobalt just with an auto trans and his is a lot slower then mine.
my stock cobalt lt (automatic) does about that same time also. it has 65000 miles on it. cant get an accurat time cuz where i live, cops are everywhere. had to slow down. theres 1 even in my nieghborhood parked about a block from my house.
i ALso have a chevy colbalt 2008 im not sure how many L's but i know its 4 cyl ecotec btw its a 4 door auto transmission , also whenever i try speed up from 0-60 the higher the rpm will go is to 5, however i dont push on the throttle all the way down im scared to blow out the engine if i do, i guess is me cuz i dont know much about cars so do you push on the throttle all the way to get to 6.5 rpm like on the video? Chevy Colbalt is pretty fast
for 2.2l auto cobalt owners, try this (if you don't already know about this) : at around 25, put it in "I" and floor it, reeeal nice punch. and also around 65-70 through it in "L" and floor it" very nice as well. (regular "D" will not shift down at that speed)
@FateAtYourWindow well I mean different instances haha. like if your just cruising at either of those speeds, and want to get the most accel, that's the way to do it. at least with my '08 ecu
yeah, i've got the same one. I like the accel. just wish i could get a lot quicker 0-20. sometimes it feels reeeeeal slow at the take off. as compared to my friends '06 mazda 3, which is extremely quick from the start but then doesnt keep the pace throughout the speedometer. oh, and also, with a proper launch technique, and brand new tires, i can get about 7.4-7.5 0-60 in my 2008 2.2l 34,000 miles.
@DeltaChristian360 The K&N intake has thrown CEL (check engine 'light') for many Cobalt 2.2 owners. I have asked around and Injen (the later one that can be a CAI or WAI) is the best. The Eco has such a high compression 10:1 and running 87 octane, the intake sensor is picky about intakes. It will try to throw a lean code. I hear the JET performance intake sensor is good for this as it modifies the signal to compensate for the extra incoming air so you wont go lean. Basically an intake tune.
I have had a 2.4 SS come up on my 2.2 Cobalt and he gunned it when he paralleled me, I punched it a second later but stayed even with him staring at the SS's bumper. That is because I did not know he was going to gun it and I reacted late. The guy had a really perplexed look after we both slowed and I eventually passed due to the set-up in traffic. The 2.2 is only a half second slower to 60 and on the freeway it seems they both pull the same.
@2005buickallure The Ecotec is infamous for being a slug when new. Mine was lucky to hit 60 in 9 seconds. Now that I have over 40k miles on the motor, it is hitting 60 in about 8-8.3 seconds depending on the temp outside, how much gas is in the tank, how long since the last oil change and how old the filter is.
@atomicshark That is it right there... I remembered getting my Cobalt new, and wondering where the boat anchor was attached. It started to get peppy around 30k. My brother's Cobalt sedan feels a lot quicker on the lows and mids to my coupe. He has 95k miles on his. I have driven many times, and wondered why his was so much more responsive on the lows and mids. I watch all these vids of 8-9 second runs and wonder why some are much slower than your Cobalt. I am sure these motors need broken in.
@Mike85220 Someone on the Cobalt forum said the computer program does not allow for spirited driving until it hit a certain mileage as there was a breaking-in period. I cannot vouche for this at all. Another said they put these motors together with tight tolerances. Once they loosen up they start to get a little quicker. I cannot say this is the reason for certain, but everytime a low mileage Cobalt videos a 0-60 run, they hit 60 around 9 seconds, not 8 like yours. That is a big difference.
@mustangmikeca Seeing as you dont have a prelude that doesnt matter. Lets see your civic race a 2.2 cobalt. or a 2.4 cobalt or a 2.4 G5 Gt or an SS/SC or an SS/TC. You say all these cars are junk so by all means then your 1.7L automatic civic should have no issue beating a junk car right?
@mustangmikeca Seeing as how your profile has an auto civics video Id say the only thing pathetic is that even if its a 5spd it doesnt change the fact youd still lose. Just makes it a slightly closer race. So your pathetic attempt at putting down a car faster than yours is pure FAIL. But its amusing that you keep trying. Its like a ricer flyby that gets denied over and over. Tell you what. If your ever near stl chicago or kansas city I will race you in my auto cobalt (daily driver).
@mustangmikeca Tell you what. If your ever near stl chicago or kansas city I will race you in my auto cobalt (daily driver). Will be down in texas at the beginning of june. So could even do oklahoma or texas as well. I mean your ULTIMATE COBALT KILLING CIVIC wouldnt have an issue beating an NA auto cobalt now would it?
@mustangmikeca lol my cobalts not .5L bigger than your civic idiot. And your talking shit on the 2.2 cobalt so you obviously have enough to beat it! So whats the problem? Your the kid of idiot that would talk shit at a car meet then get the crap pounded out of you for not being able to back up what your preaching!
@DOHCCordia I'm talking shit about the Cobalt just because it has plastics worse than a chinese toy factory and it a low resale piece of shit. The prelude 2.2L can smoke your cobalt bitch
@mustangmikeca have you seen how bad the plastic looks in the 2012 civic? The magazines are saying a hyundai looks better. Dont think you have much room to talk. And btw a 2.2 (H22) in stock condition just barely edges my dd out (sad considering my cobalts an auto 2.4) Now an H23 5spd with exhaust and intake I edge out by a car and a half at 90. So bring your sisters hand me down car (your car) out and see how your shit talking mouth does against an auto cobalt (it really sad you wont win)
I wonder if it is thanks to the new fly by wire system and the fact the motor is a 10:1 compression ratio. That is pretty high and when running 87 octane, is pushing it. I bet the fly by wire even though you have it floored, sends a signal to the throttle to open up at a rate to prevent ping and detonation. More air coming in probably makes the computer just compensate even more.
The best time for stock I have seen for the 2.2 Cobalt coupe is 7.97 seconds. Seems like most people are hitting 60 in 9.5 seconds though. Here it timed out to 8.4 seconds. But what is interesting, the others hitting it in 9.5 seconds have an intake, exhaust or both.
@Mike85220 I do know that the 2.2 Ecotec takes a while to break in. It is very slow when new. Mine took at least 10k miles to start showing any signs of waking up. I have 40k now, and it is as quick as it will ever go which is about 8 seconds 0-60. I worry about adding bolt ons as all the videos on Youtube seem to indicate slower times.
The Cobalt 2.2 is an economy car, so why is it everyone chimes in like my Porsche will stomp you and 8 second 0-60 sucks? This makes no sense... This video is for people with economy cars and not for comparatives for owners with sports cars.
hes just mad cause he cant afford one cause he sits at home on his moms titt cobalts are one of the best care ver made by gm besides cavalier but they are basically the same they are nice good on gas and fast when u need them to be
I am glad you have an Ecotec 2.2 that is at least broken in before video taping. Some are posting videos when new, and of course the engine is a slug until it wears in. Mine did the same thing. I am also averaging 32mpg. It is a good engine, lots of potential.
Fuck all yall bitch ass teeth niggers, All yall need to stop refrigeration and get real prizons. If yall dont fijure out what you is you never tealize what you be made of.
I was a the local track yesterday. Cobalt LT's best time 16.8. It was faster then a new stock Civic and stock Lancer. I also have a Mustang GT and it's not fast enough for me. I guess it depends what we expect.
What? 0-60 in a little less than 8 second is pretty good for any car, but especially for a little 4 banger LS/LT stock whose main design was just fuel economy.
i met a guy who was trying to be a hardass with his colbalt, i shut him up pretty quick, haha i just wanted to see what was up with these things, cause i run into them on the street all the time and they always wanna race...
sorry, every guy i know who has Colbalt SS is a fag, plus i was sort of in the heat of the momment when i got my GT i know ive seen . I had a GTO once, i loved the thing, 6.0, black. super smooth ride...
no offense it's just who cares about your ford gt its a super car this is a cobalt so who cares man really!!!!!!!!!!!. not trying to be rude or anything just really.
@Pimpabe2009 i do, my car has more torque than you have brains fag... ooo owned, if you respond to this comment you are officially flagged as being gay.
@drudawg911 Hill climb requires torque there chief. The Rabbit/Golf, which is probably in the same class, has 177 lb-ft of torque which is reached at 4,250 RPM. The Cobalt has 150 lb-ft which is reached at 4,900 RPM. Yes, there's a weight difference, but the torque to weight ratio is higher with the Rabbit/Golf. So I have a hard time seeing it kill a VW in a hill climb any day.
@drudawg911 even an old audi 2.8 would destroy this. and up against a 3.0? no chance, the 1.8t gets full stock spool are like 3400rpms not to mention there absoulute torque monsters...and add a chip boom 200-215hp and over 250ft lbs of torque
@drudawg911 so you mean cobalts get their full 152 ft lbs of torque (at crank) at 3600 rpm? thats like 110 to the wheels! HOLY SHIT THATS A LOT! these things run 16.5's in a 1/4 mile if you're a good driver. who does hill climbs anyway lol DUDE lets race on top of a hill!
@hwhhww You'd be surprised what people do with vehicles to impress someone they don't know. The Cobalt has respectable performance for a compact car. Not a lot of power ,but you can take out any other compact sedan in the market. HOLY SHIT, more like 130-135 ft lbs at the wheels! With a better exhaust and a Cold Air Intake you can get 15 secs on the 1/4 mile. Not bad.
@mustangmikeca this ISNT MY CAR in this video, your internet reputation and all around coolness factor has been reduced by -10 points for attacking someone who isnt the author of the preceeding video... my car goes .2seconds faster than this so called for-mentioned civic so.... BOO YEA BITCH! my internet greatness rating has been boosted by +5 points for responding to said random comment and turning this into a "who can pee the furthest" contest OWNED ROOKIE JUST ROLLED KID!
@mustangmikeca ok the top civic verus the top cobalt, the ss will crush an si, there's no comparison, honda sucks! fucking people in asia dont even like them, they'd rather have nissan
@mustangmikeca well dumbass not all cobalt SS are turbo's most are super charged and some arent even supercharged, an SS with just a 2.4l ecotec engine will smoke a piece of shit si
@mustangmikeca well dumbass you didnt prove shit cuz ur pea sized brain cant comprehend that im talking about a cobalt and not a G5, idc if they have the same engine, there's other factors that go into speed, but you probably didnt know that dumbass
@mustangmikeca well bitch considering there's no way in hell that it does 0-60 in 6.3 secs id say not, i've looked on many websites even some clubsi sites that say it usually runs 7.6 and best at 7.3! Its not as fast as you'd like to think
@mustangmikeca well considering your last 0-60 time you said was horribily off im defeintly not gonna believe that a prelude is gonna beat a cobalt. how you even came up with such a horrible come back idk, apparently you realized civics suck so you had to try a new honda!
@mustangmikeca A new Honda? I mentioned the Prelude because its displacement is the same as the Cobalt 2.2. The 2.2 takes over 8sec 0-60 bitch even the 2.4L Cobalt is only 7.1sec .4sec slower than the prelude bitch Before people were saying it coul beat my Civic which is 1.7L which is true because it's not a fair match bitch
@mustangmikeca No shit, cobalt motors don't have vtec. You know a k20 will make 130 whp out of vtec if they're lucky which is less than a cavalier so point is honda's are shit without it.
@supersmashist WTF of course the the Cobalt 2.2L has vavle timing, google it. It's not as good as Hondas VTEC. The base K20 with timing on only the exgaust is 130whp which is 160HP at the crank more than a Cavalier bitch and it has less displacement. It's 200HP stock at the crank in the RSX type S bitch
@mustangmikeca 2.2 eco's don't have valve timming the only one that does is the 2.4 and that isn't even designed for top end performance. And no one cares about crank horsepower whp is the only thing that truly matters. Point is vtec is the gayest thing in the automotive world its all of the lag and none of the boost. It's just a wannabe turbo feel for wannabe racers.
@supersmashist Are you for real? Google Cobalt 2.2L valve timing. you're just mad because the Prelude 2.2L gets 45 more HP than your shitty Cobalt 2.2L bitch haha
@DOHCCordia Oh yeah you think the 2.2L Cobalt is so great because it can beat a 1.7L Civic. Compare silimar sized engines, the 2.2L Prelude would smoke it bitch
I have an 06 cobalt coupe hands down it takes off way better then a civic because it has tons more torque, i know this because i test drove an 06 civic auto and it is weak off the line the main reason i didn't buy it, you can't even chirp the tires, odviously the guy you racing wasn't even trying or you are imagining things
No. Actually I started on a slightly upward grade. I've driven the '08 Civic EX and it is definitely a bit slower. Get over it. The Civic SI is pretty fast but, again the Cobalt SS easily beats it too. It's OK though, the Civic is a Honda and has great resale value.
BTW, I owned two Accords ('00 EX V6 coupe and '03 EX Sedan) so I'm as impartial as you can get.
I counted alittle over 8 seconds... That's pretty impressive if it's really an automatic and the ecotec 2.2. This car could easily be in the 7's if it shaved off some weight.
The curb weight is a hair under 3,000 lbs. According to my registration it weighs 2,809 lbs. but I don't know how accurate it is. I'd love it if it weighed less though. ;)
I really don't mind the weight since it is just as fast or faster that the Mazda3 or Corolla LE.
Na, the 2.2 cobalts arent that fast. I raced a dude in one last night and whipped his ass, i have a 2009 Civic. Check out my 0-60 vid, my civic does 0-80 in about 14 or less seconds. 0-60 in 8.8
@Edgarwinter too bad it weren't me and my cobalt 2.2. I know how to drive one, the trick to it is first get a roll on race and pull the shift to low gear where your running in the power band, I beat all kinds of cars and trucks including a 5.9 liter ram and a civic but met my match in a modified tiburon, soon get me a chip where i can get rid of the rev limiter and do some top speed run on the highway
I test drove both the V8 & V6 a couple weeks back when the dealer had some in stock. Due to the lower price and incentives I"ll probably go with the V6 as I'll get in enough trouble with that. The wife will drive it too, and she's scared of my Durango as it is with the big V8 and she won't go near it. lol. I don't have the space for a third vehicle!
I don't like VWs. They're overpriced for everything they offer. Canada doesn't sell the base models that can be had in the USA either. An entry level Jetta 2.5 starts at $22K...while you can get a Nissan Sentra or Chevy Cobalt (base models) for less than $16K minus a couple standard features. Jetta base 2.0T starts at over $27K, 3K more than the 2.0L diesel. I think the new G8 GT will replace my aging '99 Ford Taurus as my commuter vehicle soon.

Your the kid of idiot that would talk shit at a car meet then get the crap pounded out of you for not being able to back up what your preaching!

@DOHCCordia I'm talking shit about the Cobalt just because it has plastics worse than a chinese toy factory and it a low resale piece of shit. The prelude 2.2L can smoke your cobalt bitch
mustangmikeca 9 months ago
@mustangmikeca have you seen how bad the plastic looks in the 2012 civic? The magazines are saying a hyundai looks better. Dont think you have much room to talk. And btw a 2.2 (H22) in stock condition just barely edges my dd out (sad considering my cobalts an auto 2.4) Now an H23 5spd with exhaust and intake I edge out by a car and a half at 90. So bring your sisters hand me down car (your car) out and see how your shit talking mouth does against an auto cobalt (it really sad you wont win)

liquidr0x0r 1 year ago
I wonder if it is thanks to the new fly by wire system and the fact the motor is a 10:1 compression ratio. That is pretty high and when running 87 octane, is pushing it. I bet the fly by wire even though you have it floored, sends a signal to the throttle to open up at a rate to prevent ping and detonation. More air coming in probably makes the computer just compensate even more.
Mike85220 1 year ago
The best time for stock I have seen for the 2.2 Cobalt coupe is 7.97 seconds. Seems like most people are hitting 60 in 9.5 seconds though. Here it timed out to 8.4 seconds. But what is interesting, the others hitting it in 9.5 seconds have an intake, exhaust or both.
Mike85220 1 year ago
@Mike85220 I do know that the 2.2 Ecotec takes a while to break in. It is very slow when new. Mine took at least 10k miles to start showing any signs of waking up. I have 40k now, and it is as quick as it will ever go which is about 8 seconds 0-60. I worry about adding bolt ons as all the videos on Youtube seem to indicate slower times.

I am glad you have an Ecotec 2.2 that is at least broken in before video taping. Some are posting videos when new, and of course the engine is a slug until it wears in. Mine did the same thing. I am also averaging 32mpg. It is a good engine, lots of potential.

@drudawg911 Hill climb requires torque there chief. The Rabbit/Golf, which is probably in the same class, has 177 lb-ft of torque which is reached at 4,250 RPM. The Cobalt has 150 lb-ft which is reached at 4,900 RPM. Yes, there's a weight difference, but the torque to weight ratio is higher with the Rabbit/Golf. So I have a hard time seeing it kill a VW in a hill climb any day.

With a better exhaust and a Cold Air Intake you can get 15 secs on the 1/4 mile. Not bad.

@mustangmikeca A new Honda? I mentioned the Prelude because its displacement is the same as the Cobalt 2.2. The 2.2 takes over 8sec 0-60 bitch even the 2.4L Cobalt is only 7.1sec .4sec slower than the prelude bitch Before people were saying it coul beat my Civic which is 1.7L which is true because it's not a fair match bitch
mustangmikeca 9 months ago
@mustangmikeca No shit, cobalt motors don't have vtec. You know a k20 will make 130 whp out of vtec if they're lucky which is less than a cavalier so point is honda's are shit without it.

@supersmashist WTF of course the the Cobalt 2.2L has vavle timing, google it. It's not as good as Hondas VTEC. The base K20 with timing on only the exgaust is 130whp which is 160HP at the crank more than a Cavalier bitch and it has less displacement. It's 200HP stock at the crank in the RSX type S bitch
mustangmikeca 9 months ago
@mustangmikeca 2.2 eco's don't have valve timming the only one that does is the 2.4 and that isn't even designed for top end performance. And no one cares about crank horsepower whp is the only thing that truly matters. Point is vtec is the gayest thing in the automotive world its all of the lag and none of the boost. It's just a wannabe turbo feel for wannabe racers.

No. Actually I started on a slightly upward grade. I've driven the '08 Civic EX and it is definitely a bit slower. Get over it. The Civic SI is pretty fast but, again the Cobalt SS easily beats it too. It's OK though, the Civic is a Honda and has great resale value.
BTW, I owned two Accords ('00 EX V6 coupe and '03 EX Sedan) so I'm as impartial as you can get.

I counted alittle over 8 seconds... That's pretty impressive if it's really an automatic and the ecotec 2.2. This car could easily be in the 7's if it shaved off some weight.
The 4dr LT curb weights in 3,200 lbs.
To put that in perspective:
Corolla LE weighs in 2,550lbs.
Mazda 3 S 2,906 lbs.
UInACrash 3 years ago
Yes, it is a 2.2L automatic.
The curb weight is a hair under 3,000 lbs. According to my registration it weighs 2,809 lbs. but I don't know how accurate it is. I'd love it if it weighed less though. ;)
I really don't mind the weight since it is just as fast or faster that the Mazda3 or Corolla LE.
atomicshark 3 years ago
Na, the 2.2 cobalts arent that fast. I raced a dude in one last night and whipped his ass, i have a 2009 Civic. Check out my 0-60 vid, my civic does 0-80 in about 14 or less seconds. 0-60 in 8.8

@Edgarwinter too bad it weren't me and my cobalt 2.2.

I don't like VWs. They're overpriced for everything they offer. Canada doesn't sell the base models that can be had in the USA either. An entry level Jetta 2.5 starts at $22K...while you can get a Nissan Sentra or Chevy Cobalt (base models) for less than $16K minus a couple standard features. Jetta base 2.0T starts at over $27K, 3K more than the 2.0L diesel. I think the new G8 GT will replace my aging '99 Ford Taurus as my commuter vehicle soon.
