How to remove and install a starter motor on a Chevrolet Cobalt,HHR and Saturn ION?

Turn the ignition key to OFF, then disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Raise the front of the vehicle and place it securely on jackstands. On 2.0L Supercharged models only, drain the intercooler coolant system and remove the intercooler system electric water pump. Disconnect the battery cable (the larger cable) and the starter control cable (the smaller cable) from the starter solenoid terminals. Remove the starter mounting bolts and remove the starter. On 2007 and later models, you may have to remove the Secondary Air Injection pump to allow room for starter removal. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten the starter mounting bolts. When the battery has been disconnected, the PCM must relearn its former driveability and performance characteristics.

Chevrolet Cobalt Starter

The Starter of Chevrolet Cobalt is responsible for power to turn the engine and is needed to turn electrical energy into mechanical by the battery. It works through an externally mounted solenoid together with a battery which engages the starter motor. In the starter, there is a rotating armature which through the interaction with the field coils or permanent magnets produces the required torque. The starter drive couples with the flywheel of the engine when the switch is flicked to ignite and an overrunning clutch uncouples it when the engine is running. Different types of starters have been used in the Cobalt, these include; gear reduction starters where a reduction gear is used to engage the drive, thus improving on efficiency. As with every other OE starters, they may not be well suited for high-compression motors, and this may culminate in a failure. For high-rev applications or any other performance application, it is wise to use an upgrade or a specialized starter in order to prevent problems such as kickback.

Each OEM Chevrolet Cobalt Starter we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
