  1. I don't know why GM is insisting on doing this cylinder activation thing, they keep failing, going all the way back to 1981 with the 8-6-4 motors that ran one year. Derrick of VGG got one running and I forget if he deactivated his or not. I think he did. Anyway, good luck with it. Loved how yesterday, you tried to get the Cobalt on the ramps and failed, the hood drops down. I thought it funny. I am dealing with a broken car myself now. My 2003 Mazda Protege 5 wagon with the non interference 2.0L 4 pot is still hanging in there, but the front end is wonky when it did "battle" with ice/black ice doing a left turn and lost, sliding into the curb, hitting it with the face of the wheel. I think I will use my magnetic mount and GoPro to see if that right front wheel is out of true as it turns (in/out) while I slowly run it around the block. I need to figure out how to get the smaller sized floor jack from the 'Freight up a tad higher for the jack stands to fit so I can safely get under it and remove the shield that's underneath the motor so I can see the tie rods, steering rack etc. Wish me luck... BTW, have over 200K on this old thing too. BTW, I enjoy your positive attitude, especially in these trying times. As a neurodivergent, living on SSDI, while I'm not panicking yet, I am keeping an eye on things as far as my SSDI payments drop next week, IF it drops that is. I refuse to be all pessimistic until it actually happens, but the worry is in the background anyway. So far, no notifications in the SSDI website or in the mail. I just hope I'm not being too pollyanna-ish about it however.
