      Bad idle, no power, zero acceleration

      Hi
      Make: Chevrolet
      Model: Aveo 1.5 LS
      Year: 2007/11
      Issue
      Bad idle. No Power when driving. Rev counter remains at 3000 rp/m. Engine light on.
      Customer service poor, took it in, they switched off the engine light, it ran but the engine light came on.
      Car not moving even when foot on the peddle. Switches off when I press deeper.
      Attempt at solving the problem
      1. I did an engine overhaul(Rings, bearings, cylinders, valves, valve stem seals);
      2. Replaced the sensors;
      3. Ignition coil and cables replaced;
      4. Complete service.


      Still no power.


      PLEASE HELP!


      Cant give VIN Number, car in for repairs but complete repair done. Car just doesn't have power. Above problem persists.

      Got an engine code scanner? Borrow one from a friend, or buy a bluetooth OBDII adapter off amazon for $15. Reading the engine codes will help. Sounds like an ignition problem to me, but thats just a guess.

      I look at all these problems and I feel like my aveo is the captain planet of problems.
      "as your problems combine! I am Captain Problems!"
      Coz every idle problem is my problem
