My sons Aveo will start, rev up and sounds fine at idle.
When you put in gear it will creap along, but when the accelerator is applied is sputters and dies.
Fuel Pump or Fuel filter problem?
Anyone got advice?
Also how do you service it if it is a fuel pump-filter problem?
Thanks
Mike
pump and filter lift out through an access I think.
but check for pressure at the rail, to see if it drops.
Any codes? this could be o2 sensor, map (not likely) or a few other things even though the fuel pump is most likely.
auto or manual?
Auto,
The access, is it under rear seat after lifted out?
check for pressure at what rail?
Thanks
This happened with my 06 Aveo5 SVP... It turned out to be an O2 Sensor, got the code and everything then one day I just gave the tires a good whirl, light went away, code went away, and I haven't had the problem for about 4 months.
i would have to look honestly but under the seat sounds right..Quote:

if you have no codes, the issue could be a few things, but most (even low fuel pressure) will throw a light.
