Engine light flashes, Service Stabilitrak comes on and feels like a miss, Engine Revs @ and up to 5000 Rpms to shift, stop engine/ Restart and Engine light comes on steady(sometimes)car runs good with a very slight miss you can hardly feel. Had to 2 different certified dealers and replaced Camshaft sensor and cable Battery in front and battery in trunk for modules. Same results has been this way on and off over a year seams ok and light is off most in the summer but as it gets colder out happens more frequent. car gets different codes because of the miss, 1 is #2 fuel injector low voltage? Both dealers say injector is good. Taking it in again in January as this is the quickest they can get it in and also now at times the battery seems weak and will not start and needs to be Jumped and light is on but runs good other than a slight miss? MAYBE bad Ignition control module or bad Ignition coil? Totally dissatisfied with chevy, great car overall but do not like these issues.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Worse when cold out

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010.
Sounds like a lot of different things might be going on, but let's start with the misfire. If you have diagnostic trouble codes that are set in the engines processor, it would seem to me that you should troubleshoot those codes first to determine the source of the problem. I find it hard to understand that a "dealer" or any repair facility that is working on the vehicle would have a really hard time trying to figure out what's going on here. If you have skilled technicians that are working on the vehicle with proper technical resources such as workshop manuals and diagnostic tools along with regular tools and some knowledge and ability, they should be able to troubleshoot this concern without too much of a problem.
If your trouble code is for a number two fuel injector low voltage, I wouldn't be looking at the injector as the point of failure, I would be looking at the circuit itself. Somebody should be troubleshooting the wiring harness to determine if there's any damage or outside intervention causing a problem with the wiring eriod check the wiring connector, is the connector locking tab broken or is the connector not seated properly?
As for other concerns that might be related, I wouldn't do a thing until you solve the ones that you can actually verify by diagnostic trouble codes.
As always, make sure a known good battery with good voltage and the ability to sustain a load and be recharged fully is installed in the vehicle.
