I agree with having the code read for sure as it could well be just a loose Gas Cap which you can tighten up yourself. As its still under warranty i would not worry about it too much as it will be covered under it. There is a small possiblity that there may be still a very small amount of air trapped in your heating system which will require another bleeding session at the dealer. Its not a big deal as they would have put a new theremostat in the engine at the time of the rebuilt head going on. How Hot is your heater working on High Max Heat? If it seems like its not as Hot as it could be then that is the reason why.  :)

They already have started doing that with the I-5 and I-6 engine. There is also possibilitiy of a V6 Diesel and a whole new 6 cylinder design as well. Not announced quite yet wether it will be a inline or a V series.  :)

I thought maybe I should let everyone know what happened to the poor Cavalier. We were going to trade it on a Corolla and were offered $3500 by the dealership, we thought we would take a couple of days to decide in that time a old lady hit us and wrote off the car  ;D Thank you!

Glad you are not injured as that was bite the bullit quite a bit. Sorry to hear about the car but it should pay you a lot more then the dealer ever would. At least thats one good thing to come out of it.  :)
