this is my first aveo....any idea's?

I had this problem with my 2009 Chevy Aveo. I replaced the ignition coil module (price matched at auto zone the Delphi part with rockauto), and it is running great now. I think it may have been caused by me continuing to drive while I had a CEL for a lean mixture. Turns out the valve cover is plastic and has the PCV valve built into it. The PCV valve developed a crack and was pulling vaccum. Replaced the valve cover and all is good now. Going to make it to 200K!!!
