My car has recently started to drop and surge during idle. Sometimes it dies when I stop, but I'm not noticing much of a power loss during regular driving. I'm almost certain it's the idle air control, but don't wanna just assume. There is a check engine light, and the code is P1101. I've...

1. Year, trim level, and transmission. 2011, LS, 6-spd automatic w/ manual up/downshift. 2. Miles on the car!!! 105k 3. Check engine light, airbag, or other warning light on or "Service [insert system here]" message showing? Has somebody told you the code if the check engine light is on? No...

So aside from having a bunch of different names,, this thing is such a bitch to clean that I'm considering buying a third one!! A third one, you may wonder?? Yes.. I recently changed the seals on my engine oil cooler assembly because it was leaking engine oil and letting engine oil into my...

Welp, another issue has surfaced yesterday. The surging here only happens when the engine is cold, it will smooth out a bit at 3200-3800k RPM, but as soon as you get back on it, it does the same thing. It's pretty bad, it jolts you around in the seat. I talked about this before and it was...

I noticed this on my way home from work last night. I was in fourth gear accelerating and when the tach hit 3k the turbo started surging with the throttle held steady. It didn't stop until I let off the throttle. Played around with it the rest of the trip home and every time I hit 3k the turbo...

Frequently it would start to bump and lurch while stopped with the shift lever in Drive. I took it to half a dozen dealerships while I was living in LA and all they could tell...

I bought my car last Saturday, 13' Cruze Eco auto w/3500 miles. All week I've noticed when I'm stopped (after it has warmed up), that that it jumps with my foot solid on the brake. I've read several things on the forum and googled it and see that many other people have this too. Some have had 4...

Alright, I need a little diagnoses help here. I was driving along this beautiful afternoon, about 40 mph and pressed the accelerator a bit and the car started to move, the turbo seemed to be spooling up a little, and then there was a stumble (like bad gas). The engine picked back up, stumbled...

This car has been in the shop 3 times now, one time for new master cylinder and brake booster, and now they are telling me this is normal conditions. The fact of the matter is that I drove 5 more 2013 with close to the same miles and not a single one did what mine is doing. They say it is a...

"Rising gasoline prices have gone from bane to boon for the recovering U.S. auto industry. In 2008, U.S. gas prices hit a record of $4.11 a gallon and contributed to Detroit’s downfall, as truck and sport-utility vehicle sales collapsed. With gasoline again approaching $4, buyers are returning...

Looks like more people are trying out the alternatives. While still a small segment of the market, the growth numbers are surprising: HYBRID, ELECTRIC SURGE | As gas prices rise, sales of more fuel-efficient vehicles increase

My wife had been complaining to me about some ticking she heard with a lot of throttle going up a steep hill. Naturally I assumed it was knock because we use 87 but with all of the modern ecu controlls I couldn't imagine that being the case. She said it happens to her infrequently so I...
