#1 of 3 2005 Chevy Colbalt Jerks in cCold Weather by kee1 Feb 05, 2009 (12:35 pm)
After sitting for hours on end my 2005 Chevy Colbalt abruptly jerks for a while...the jerks seem to happen only when the car is initially started up and/or when sitting a red light or stop sign..the jerks stop after about 15mintues of driving. I try to warm the car uo for at leat 20mintues in the morning before pulling it out of the drive way, when I do there are no jerks but if I pull off after only 5 minutes of warming up, it jerks. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

My 2006 chevy Cobalt LS does the same thing in hot and cold weathers. It is common. I usually let my car warm up about at least 10 minutes. If you have remote starter and your heater preset, it is alot nicer. Plus, it is better for your car if you give it least 10 mins to warm up. Another way, raise your rpms to 1500 hold a steady pressure on the accelator. It will warm you car up alot faster. In the future runs, after your car is paid off, get a remote starter. I had to purchase one 2 years ago since my Cobalt LS didn't have one included. I used to live in those cold snowy days and nights also do missed the snow. Don't worry about the jerks, it is normal. If the your Cobalt jerks too heavy, then you do have a major problem and it needs to be service or fix. Could be costly. Remember this in the future.
