Cool. Really have choice but to drive it, keep my fingers crossed and see. Thanks for the help again.

I can't believe it but I cleaned that MAF sensor today and after charging the battery, the car fired right up. I am far from a mechanic but I am skeptical because it seems to easy, especially because things don't usually go this well for me. Is it possible that this is all it took?

Cleaning the MAF looks simple enough and cheap so will try that first.. I did get a check charging system when I was trying to get it running but that was after trying to get it going many times and the battery was dying.

There is an old bluetooth thing in there that I believe was installed aftermarket but I have had the car since Feb of 2014 and it just started this stuff less than a month ago. I had a total new stereo system installed professionally but again that was 13 months ago and they also installed new...

Happened for the 3rd time last night. Came off the highway, came to a stop sign and it died. Kind of the same thing all 3 times. This time I couldn't get it going. Started it and sometimes could keep it going for a while real rough until it died, but couldn't move it. Had to have it towed home...

That is my plan. I am going to do coils and plugs soon. I did change the fuel filter myself about a year ago. Thanks everyone for their input.

I emailed the seller and all looks legit on the coils. Seems like a pretty straightt forward job to change them and the plugs so may just go ahead do it. In other exciting news my 16 year old daughter wrecked/totaled my 08 Cobalt last night a month after getting her license. Everyone is OK at least.

Car has 96K. Bought it with 82K. I was unaware of the coil issues at the time of buying the car. I remember he said plugs for sure. No big deal to replace them again anyway. The coils I linked above are correct?

Made it home and had no problems. Not sure if I should just change the plugs and coils to get it over with after this happened twice. I have another trip this week so maybe I should rather then risk it. Found a video on youtube and it looks pretty simple

Ha ha. They do and I had a DVD system installed. I meant more along the lines of taking the drive home period with the Car having done this twice now? I know a couple decent independents where I live.

Thanks Joe. I respect your opinion on here a lot. I doubt I will do this work myself as I am just not that familiar with it other than doing plugs. The previous owner told me he did plugs right before I bought it 18 months ago. What should I expect to pay if I hire it out? Also, your thoughts on...

Other day I stopped at a stop light and my 06LS died. Would start and immediately die. Fifth try and everything was fine. This morning drive 8 hours to Winnipeg, Manitoba. Ran fine until we got into stop and go traffic. Started idling rough and shaking. Pulled into a parking lot just in time for...

Thanks for the replies. I think what I have decided to do is get slightly larger self tapping screws then those rivots are and thread them through the rivot holes.
