The Aveo starts to kick when i start to accelerate at 2000rpms and its everytime i thought it was a bad fuel injector so i changed the bad one did the work myself and the car is fully maintenance on its regular routine. Idk why it kicks but its been doing that since my heater hose been changed. Thank you guys hope you can help
My car has 52000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
Experienced mechanics share their insights in answering this question :
When you say your car kicks, I think of a misfire in the engine under load. If you are getting a misfire, then a trouble code for the cylinder would be set.
You should scan the computer and identify the cylinder that is misfiring, remove the coil and plug for that cylinder, and look for signs of arching. You may have gotten coolant into the spark plug coil hole and shorted it out.
If a coil is wet with coolant or oil, then clean out the spark plug hole before removing the plug, clean and dry off the plug wire, then reinstall to see if the problem returns. If it does, then you may have to replace the coil/boot, and replace the spark plugs.

Chevrolet P0300 (Multiple Misfire Detected) – Causes
A “multiple misfires detected” code can be caused by a faulty ignition system, fuel system, or internal engine failure. The most common reason for P0300 is faulty or worn-out spark plug coil packs, especially if it`s been a while since you last had a tune-up.
The P0302 error code indicates that cylinder two is misfiring and not receiving enough spark to its spark plug.
The most common reasons a Chevrolet Aveo is overheating are a coolant leak (water pump, radiator, hose etc.), the radiator fan, or a failed thermostat.
The most common reasons a Chevrolet Aveo won`t start are a dead battery, an alternator problem, or failed starter.
Can a bad O2 sensor cause a P0300 code? Yes. As it is one of the most vital inputs to your car`s computer for fuel control, a sensor failure can result in an incorrect air/fuel ratio. In addition, it can lead to engine misfiring and set code P0300.
What Are the Symptoms of a P0300 Code? Seeing that your check engine light has come on is the most common symptom of any powertrain-related code that indicates a cylinder misfire, while a severe misfire that has the potential to damage the catalytic converter will cause the check engine light to flash.
The P0302 trouble code is an indication that cylinder 2 is misfiring and is not getting the necessary spark to its spark plug.
If you notice that your engine overheats, the coolant temperature sensor could be the problem. At times, the coolant temperature switch may fail such that it starts transmitting hot signals permanently. This causes the computer to erroneously counterbalance the signal, thereby causing the engine to misfire or overheat.
If the coolant is dirty or has too much buildup, it can stop the coolant from moving through the pump, which can lead to an overheating situation.
A: Possible causes: a marginal battery, a poor connection in the starting circuit or starter, a charging-system problem, or the battery is being drained while the car`s parked. If this only happens first thing in the morning, a weak battery or a drain in the electrical system are likely causes.
If the car cranks when you turn the key, but the engine won`t start, it could be because fuel isn`t getting to the engine. One potential reason for this could be dirty fuel injectors. Over time, the fuel injector nozzles can become clogged with rust, corrosion or debris.
Yes. While the damage may seem small initially, the longer you drive with a bad oxygen sensor, the worse the damage will become. Eventually, you may experience rough idling, poor acceleration, engine misfires, an illuminated check engine light, and failed emission tests.
If the P0300 trouble code still persists, there could be a problem with the PCM. This may require replacing or reprogramming.
A clogged or failed exhaust gas recirculation or crankcase ventilation valve or faulty oxygen sensor can send the wrong signals to the computer and cause misfires.
If your car is showing the P0300 engine code, you are dealing with a cylinder misfiring issue. This code is serious, and you should have your vehicle inspected as soon as possible to avoid damage to your catalytic converter.
There are a few things that can cause this such as a dirty fuel filter, or a worn-out fuel pump. It`s easier to diagnose than a vacuum leak, so many mechanics start here.

Fuel pump engages. Batery good, alternator good volts, jump start helps when wont start. Temp does not matter. Intermittent?
ANSWER : Hello. Thank you for writing in. There are several reasons your vehicle may only start when jump starting. The first and most common is a build up of resistance that is causing you to need a boost of voltage to get the engine started. This may be due to poor battery cables, a bad ground connection, a poor starter solenoid, and a couple of other issues. The first thing you want to do is perform a visual inspection of the starting system. Make sure there is no corrosion build up in the battery cables. You can also check the resistance across these wires and make sure you have a solid connection between components. You then want to make sure the starter solenoid is doing its job. It is responsible for taking the small amount of electricity sent by the ignition and turning it into a huge electrical charge that is strong enough to push over the engine with the help of some gear ratios in its favor. Do some more testing, and stick to the basics before assuming its something seriously complicated.
Vehicle won’t start, once it’s jump started it only stays running until you turn it off, then it work start again without jumping.
ANSWER : Hi there. There could be two problems here. It is possible that your battery is bad and will not take a charge from your alternator while driving. In that case every time you shut your car off you will not have enough juice to start it again. Inspect your battery – it should have at least 12.5 to 13 volts to start your car, if it doesn’t you will need to replace the battery. The second problem could be that your alternator is bad and not charging your battery, in this case you will need to replace your alternator. Both the battery and the alternator can be tested in your car. If you would like to have the car checked for you, a certified professional from YourMechanic can come to your car’s location to diagnose the starting problem and proceed with repairs.
Cranks over start than dies
ANSWER : Hi There,
The idle air control valve is a small valve on the engine’s intake system that reads the air intake as it comes into the motor. This is controlled by the car’s ECM which uses this information to make adjustments to the air/fuel ratio depending on various inputs such as outside air temperature, intake air temperature, load and various other things. As you accelerate, your car’s engine is receiving a much higher dose of fuel than when at idle and conversely, when you let off the gas pedal, there is a sudden change in this fuel supply as a result of your foot letting off the pedal. When this happens, the job of the idle air control valve is to bring this deceleration down to a slow and smooth idle rather than suddenly cutting off the fuel supply causing the motor to die. When the idle air control valve is not working properly, this cause a disruption in this process resulting in the engine not being able to idle properly. I would recommend having a professional come to your location to diagnose and inspect your vehicle.

Why does my car struggle to start every 4th to 5th time?
ANSWER : It sounds like your starting issues may be linked to a problem with air metering or fuel delivery. A clogged or malfunctioning idle air control valve may show some of the same symptoms you are describing. The idle air control valve can be stuck in a cold start position which may work well if the car has been sitting a few hours, but as the engine warms up there must be a regulation in airflow. Consider hiring an experienced technician like one from YourMechanic who can come out for a closer look at your hard start situation and offer a more personal diagnosis.
Saab 9-3 will not always start. Sometimes I have added gas and it started,also took air filter out then replaced and it started,
ANSWER : Hi there. When you have random issues like this, it tends to be caused by a restriction of fuel, air or an inability for the fuel injection system to effectively mix the air and fuel to be burned. This could be due to a clogged fuel filter, dirty air filter, EGR valve, mass air flow sensor or other fuel system component that is dirty. The turbo tends to add an additional five other possible issues to the list. SAAB’s tend to be pretty complex and should be examined by a SAAB specialist, however, it might be beneficial to have one of our mobile mechanics complete a car is hard to start inspection to see if they can pinpoint issues and recommend or complete the repairs needed.
My car will not start Intermittently. I purchased a new battery 2 weeks ago and yesterday the car wouldn’t start. Got a jump and
ANSWER : The issue you are having is probably due to an intermittent fault in the starter motor itself or a deficiency in the starter electrical circuit, for example a large voltage drop due to a poor ground or a high resistance connection. These issues can be readily diagnosed and resolved on a mobile basis if you request a hard starting diagnostic. If you request that diagnostic, the responding certified mechanic will get this resolved for you promptly. Based on Toyota’s Factory Service Manual, the battery should not be disconnected if the vehicle engine is running. The battery acts as a large resistive voltage sink and consequently taking the battery out of the circuit, while the alternator is still running, can create a voltage spike on the car’s electrical system which is not good for voltage sensitive components such as the engine computer. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic as we are always here to help you.
My Blazer will crank over but not start by itself. It needs starting fluid to start.
ANSWER : Hi there. If you have not replaced your EGR valve, mass air flow sensor or the TPS on your Blazer, you might want to start with these repairs. It is also possible that the throttle body itself is damaged, especially if you’re able to start it on fluid. If you want to avoid chasing parts and repairs, the best solution may be to have a professional mobile mechanic come to your location and complete a car is hard to start inspection.
