Hello all, I'm having issues with my inlaws wave ( I know, it's the same car as the aveo or so I'm told). So I went and looked at it, their is no codes either stored or pending, and my scanner does not do live data ( want to buy one that does), but the car starts up normally, and runs for a minute and dies. It will start up right away again and will die again, you can repeat this as many times as you like. When it's running it runs awesome, reves up, sounds fine, nothing out of the ordinary.
I can keep it running by stepping on the gas and revving it up, but it won't idle. You can drive the car as well you just can't come to a stop, as it will die as soon as it get close to the idle. I haven't really had a chance to look over the car super close, all the fuses are in good, the air filter is good, it had new plugs back in the summer, a recent oil change, a new battery, as it requires maintenance, I do it so I got a bit of history on the car.
The last thing that they did to the car was fill it up, but it runs fine on start up and revving it up I don't think it's gas related.
So where do I start? What to check? Any ideas? I searched the forum before posting, and when I go and see the car, I'm gonna be checking the intake hose, and cleaning the throttle body ( it was dirty).
Thanks
