Thanks for your time.

I think my head was in the clouds when I asked you that question. Because I pretty much have to turn my key back to ON because of all of the sharp curves and the brakes on a Cobalt are one of the weak spots to start with (Drum rear brakes!! NO ABS on mine either)

SO- In my normal way of going down a hill in EOC with the ENGINE OFF BUT THE KEY IS IN "ON" - RPM=0 Then if I gear down my engine will bump start- DUU I feel like an idiot for even asking.

So exactly how do YOU gear down to slow down when in EOC without it re-starting your motor? I'm at a lost as to how it can be done without burning gas. Do you have a kill switch?
