http://www.yourcobalt.com/forums/chevy-cobalt-owners-lounge/27882- rough-idle-rough-stops-09-cobalt-2.html -- this is for an 09 model but it seems cleaning the throttle plate and throttle body helps with these issues on the cobalts. Also cleaning the maf helps. Some also state that if you just happen to move the throttle by hand it could mess up the gears in it causing a rough idle situation. Hope this helps

For the rough idle/neutral fix, check the motor mounts. I would say that the driving sputter is a different issue altogether, possibly unrelated....but definitely check the motor mounts first.

My 2010 Cobalt is not shifting like it should. Sometimes it shifts rough and sometimes I have to drive it in first gear. 1 Answer

It does not appear to have a place to check the transmission fluid or to add transmission fluid to it. What do I do now to get it running correctly again?
