My cobalt has a very hard time starting. It does turn over and once in a great while i am able to get it started, once i have it started it has a very rough idle making my car sound like its going to die. I just need probable answers to this problem since i can't drive my vehicle to auto zone and get a computer hooked up to it. Thank you for your time.

Check the fuel pressure and clean the idle air control valve and EGR valve and see what happens
