last time when my cobalt did that it was because it was overheating. couple solutions is if this is the issues is that the fan doesnt kick in until the engine temps are over 223 degrees or so. i would either.

1. rewire the fan to another power source that provides constant current
2. trifecta tune that will allow the fan to stay on.
