2008 Aveo5 kicked the bucket (not running right when very cold)

[nickmnusa]

I have 17,500 miles on my car go to start it the temp was -1F and it starts missing and the idle is everywhere. Call the dealer they say dont drive it and they have it towed in today they call me and turns out it is some kit that they need and dont have one in stock anywhere and he said there is a TSB on it anyone heard of this I asked what it was and he said he wasnt sure and that he was just the service writer

[petrified.rabbit]

didn't see one for 08. but:

looks like they are either going to replace all the valves according to TSB #050601030 or do something else according to TSB #05-06-04-065


actually for the $12 it would be worth buying this to know all the fixes...?

well it was exactly that there was ice in the intake and pcv they replaced it and put a new hose with some insulation around it near the top of the engine glad to have it back now

Had the same problem with my 08, their kit fixed the issue for me.

i dont remember what my DTC was, but its for the TPS. and the TPS is part of the TB. its all one unit on the drive by wires. first time was around 24k miles now 14k miles later its done it again. and the car is out of the 36k warranty. so now every repair is on me on a car im making payments on. not fair. the TB comes in tomorrow so i can get this back to operating like normal and get my decent gas mileage back.

Having this same problem. Is it covered on the 100kmile warrenty?

[thehunterooo]

they should fix it for free if it was a recall, take it to the dealer and they should fix it for free

[petrified.rabbit]

a tsb and a recall are not the same thing..
