      06 Aveo has a tun of diagnostic codes. Please help

      Hello new friends! My name is Kim, and I am hoping you would have some idea of what may be killing my aveo so that I can save money by buying a part and not going to the dealer (Ack!!**)

      **No Warranty exists on car anymore

      The patient: 2006 Chevrolet Aveo Hatchback

      So, long story short, guy and me went on a road trip for the last 10 days. Took the car about 2500 miles round trip. Car missed a bit at very high RPM when going fast through Mtns, but no real problems till the end of the trip…

      On the way back south, car stopped accelerating on the freeway. We actually lost all ability to feed gas to the engine. I later found that this was caused by a “safety throttle shutoff” (My opinion is that it is not safe to lose throttle on the freeway, but that’s just me)

      This got progressively more frequent, and we fixed the problem by restarting the car without stopping (5 speed)

      Made it back to Chas and now it’s not doing that anymore, however it won’t go above 2000 RPM. Fuel efficiency is through the floor. A hummer probably has better mileage.

      Now, as soon as I got back, I went to autozone and had them pull the diagnostic codes off the car….

      This is what we have:

      http://www.aboutautomobile.com/DTC/P2101
      http://www.aboutautomobile.com/DTC/P1516

      So, staring at these, I realized that during the trip, I would feel condensation from the AC dripping on my feet. Not a lot, maybe a drip every few hours, more when I turned.

      My theory is that the condensation got into some throttle sensor and fried it? Does this sound right?

      Thank you, help is always appreciated. I really don’t want to throw down cash for something that may be simply diagnosed and fixed.

      this most likely (if you have all the same codes) the throttle body.
