I have a 2005 chevy cobalt that has the service engine light on and across the message center it is reading reduced engine repair and the car is shaking bad and does not hardly wanna stay running. Do you have any suggestions for this problem. We have tried changing throttle bodies out checked the fuel rails and put in a new fuel filter. We also checked the spark plugs and they were fine.
