2006 Chevy Cobalt engine is shaking real bad and car has no power

I just had the coil pack changed by the dealer like 6 weeks ago they also told me that the throttle body was gummed up and the spark plugs needed to be replaced.  But do to the lack of funds I did not have the throttle body worked on. so just wanted to know if that maybe causing my problem, thanks for the help.

I WOULD TRY AND RUN A BOTTLE OF SEA FOAM THOUGH IT BEFORE REPLACING PARTS. YOU CAN GET SEA FOAM AT ANY AUTO PARTS STORE FOR ABOUT $9.00 A CAN.

2006 chevy cobalt ls I have individual coils on s engine I swapped but my harness has a set up for a coil pack doing have to change engines?
You don't really need to swap the engine out. The coil pack is simply the electronics that controls when the spark plug fires. You could change the wiring set up to use a multi coil pack system but this could be very complicated and very expensive as you might need a specialist to do it for you.
You are probably better off converting the new engine to run on a single coil pack system. If you have swapped the old engine for another engine that is the SAME you might be able to transfer the parts off the old engine onto the newer one.
You would be safest asking a good mechanic near you if this is possible.

I have a 2005 chevy cobalt, and it has been driving fine until a couple of months ago. One day it just started shaking and my engine light started to flash on and off. I got it checked out and they said it...
It sounds like the catalytic converter might have come loose causing a loud exhaust leak. Did they repair the problem that caused the converter to plug up like a defective oxygen sensor or coil pack?

2005 chevy cobalt 2.2 is running rough (putting)
Number three cylinder is miss fire,it does not mean it is the coil,although it could be,remove the coil,and boot,and spark plug,inspect them to see if the plug,or boot look bad,replace the spark plug,and if the boot is burned or distorted,replace it,a fuel injector can cause a miss fire also,but change the spark plug and see if this solves the problem,if not replace the coil,if it is a dead miss,then the coil might be bad,as for the water in the fuel ,the cap is missing,,and 5 dollars worth of HEET will not hurt,also,fuel from the fuel station,can have water in it.It happens a lot.
