[2009 aveo5]

I would like to take this time and say hello to everyone on here. I recently bought a 2009 Chevy Aveo 5, manual transmission. I love the car so far but i have some issues with it.

When i do the first start on it, or anytime on a cold engine, after a while it will bog down and want to stall. Anyone have a solution on this?

Also i have oil getting in where the spark plugs are and i am assuming that this problem is a valve cover gasket?

The car has 98,000 miles on it. I do know how to work on cars so any help would be great.


Thanks guys/gals for the help.

Welcome to the forum!

Oil around the plugs area is a common problem. It's the gasket.

As for the bogging problem - no check engine light?
