      basically, try to find a Friendly Local Chevrolet Specialist Garage that has a Tech 2 Diagnostic Tool; find out what DTCs your aveo is throwing, so that way you don't spend hundreds of pounds throwing parts at it.

      Try to read the code, I know its probably impossible since you should not be driving it. I would replace the plugs and wires. If that solves your problem, great. if not, you need a coil pack. Those two things should solve it, however, it is possibly another issue which is why the code is needed.

      So if I can get the top cover off that hides my plugs, and remove and replace spark plugs and coil pack will the computer readjust itself and reset??

      you might not necessarily need to do the coil pack. but often its a cheap enough part ($30 US) its kind of like "while your in there"

      I have tried over 10 different places and no one can diagnose my car WHY? I have even asked someone with a Tech 2 machine, he said NO. It needs a Tech T100 which only main-dealer have. Why is this so dame hard. It's just a car............

      I don't know what kind of crap that last garage fed you, but the Tech 2 IS the GLOBAL GM Factory Scan Tool, the Only other alternative is the GM Laptop Based MDI system.

      I'm guessing that they don't want the hassle with my car. Maybe they can diagnose the fault but not put it right.

      po0301 is a cylinder 1 misfire. So check the wire, check the plug, and check that injector.
