groningaj Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 This is my problem the soob runs fine for awhile then the only way to get it move is flooring the gas pedal. It will idle fine when this is happening. Started happening after water pump froze, did not have timing belt changed. Not sure what the problem is hoping I can get it figured out.

MilesFox Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 i suppose the car rund great until it warms up. and then it is hard to start? i would suspect the coolant temp sensor, try cleaning the terminals on it to see if it improves. the coolant temp sensor is on the back of the intake manifold near the turbo. you might have to remopve a heat shiled to see it. the CTS has the same style connector as the fuel injectors. hope this helps you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
