Well here is another update.. So far no brake problems what so ever. So... I am calling this SOLVED! Thanks for everyone's input!
I have not gotten around to get a quote yet. It's on my to do list. So far brakes are working fine and no engine codes. Not sure what was all that about the vacuum leaks. But those codes have not...
Thanks WyrTwister! I never thought about using alcohol. I've been using carb cleaner to clean it off. I will definitely do that plus way less expensive and car or brake cleaner lol.. Over all I spent...
Just reporting back on my findings. Thanks again WyrTwister for the awesome tips. Very helpful especially someone like me that is no too savvy on a/c work. I put some dye in the a/c system and saw a...
Wow thanks for the tips!!! This is all awesome information! Thanks!!! I don't have a vacuum pump but I may go with renting one from Autozone. As for the codes I took it back to the dealership to...
I sure do! On Saturday I had put dye in the a/c system and found a leak using UV light. Leak is where the a/c lines connect to the compressor.
It's an automatic and the a/c does take a while for it to cool down. After a while like at night time it gets to 50F coming out of the vent.
Another thought... I think my a/c maybe low in Freon because the compressor keeps clicking on and off. Sometimes it stays on and keeps running with no problem. But when you first start the car I can...

I did forget to mention that I also did a valve cover job on Saturday. It was seeping oil and there was some oil in the spark plug well but just a little bit. Oil looked good. Didn't look creamy or...
Here are the old codes. These don't come up any more.

I sure do! I liked it so much I got the Pro version. Here is snap shot of what the car was doing when the code came up. I had to do 2 screenshots since the freeze frame was long.

Yes.. but I'll try it once more this evening for sanity sake. To my understanding the idle is set by the engine's computer. There is a screw there. I am using an Android app called Torq. I'm not sure...
Hi everyone! Sorry for being MIA. Spent some quality time with the family but I did work on the car a bit. I did change the brake booster hose. I started up the car and.... no check engine light!...
I'll be a monkey's uncle! The darn hose does indeed has a check valve built into it. It looks just like a regular hose. No indications that it has anything else in the hose unless you blow in it....
What????? Ok let make a trip to my car to check my hose. I haven't even opened the package it came in yet.
Yeah the IAC is brand new, it came with the new TB along with a new hose going to the air filter box. I have to recheck the hose connections. I had this car for a month and one week and these codes...
Hi Guys! I'll try to take as many pictures as I can. More storms last night so not much was done last night on my poor Aveo. My intake is all plastic. I received all 3 replacement hoses. Two small...
New brake booster hose!

I read your mind but didn't see your post until now. I picked one up form Walmart that almost like the one from Harbor Freight. It's Stanley rechargeable with LED and was $20. Mine didn't even come...
No I haven't yet. I don't get home until 8pm so by then it's dark to see what I am doing. I am hoping to do that with what little light there is in the evening.

The little Aveo I am working on... and yes, it has red painted calipers and drums. lol..
The Aveo has 166k on it so it does need a little tender loving care. Body of the car is intact and no rust but then again here where I live we never get snow. Well we did once back in 2005 for about...
Hi WyrTwister! I forgot to mention that duct was replaced at the same time along with the throttle body last month. The old one did have a crack in it. So it's pretty much new everything between the...
