2008 Cobalt Starting Problem. Need Help!
I have a 2008 Chevy Cobalt. It was running fine and then after attempting to start the car again it turns over and on for about 3 seconds before dying out. If I give it gas it dies even quicker. At this point I have changed the Fuel Filter, I can hear the Fuel Pump Clicking over/priming, and have change all of the spark plugs. I have disconnected the MAF wiring and attempted to start it as well with no luck. Any suggestions? Thank you

Welcome to the forum,
You will need to check or have checked the fuel pressure, the pump could be coming on but not priming up enough fuel.
Check your air filter make sure the engine can get enough air
I am guessing you have the 2.2L engine?
