I own a used 2005 chevy aveo 4-dr sedan with automatic transmission. The check engine light has been on the last couple of days, but the car isn't running hot. I checked the gas cap and made sure it was on correctly as I have found that was a common problem related with the light staying on. The light has come on before, but it usually goes away. Should I take my car to a mechanic to get this checked out?
Now you can eliminate the simple ones whileparked on level ground check the oil, windshield washer fluid, make sure your air filter is clean. With the engine warm check the transmission fluid. With the engine cool check the antifreeze. Then if you haven't found the problem then you can take it to the shop so the tech's can hook it up to a computer anylyzer.............Thank You for using Fixya.. : )
Hey, Lisa!
I had a problem with my 2004 Chevy Cavalier doing this - Try taking it to Autozone for a free diagnostics. I did this and replced the gas cap. The seal was bad and when I replaced the cap, the check engine light went out after a little bit.

The cam sensor helps the computer determine when to fire the plugs and the injectors which will set the misfire code. Have a trusted mechanic check the cam sensor.

In 2005 GM introduced Dexron VI to supercede all previous versions of fluid to use in automatic transmissions. You can continue to use Dexron III, and it will work fine in your older application. However, Dexron VI is backwardly compatible. This newer specification of ATF is supposed to handle heat and shifting better than the older fluids.
One further imprtant note: Do NOT use Dexron VI in manual transmissions and power steering units.
A 2004 Chevrolet Aveo uses Dexron III (H) automatic transmission fluid.

Your alternator is not charging the Battery, I would replace the battery with a new gel battery and have the alternator checked, bets on your battery just died.
engine lights also report on transmission faults which you experienced
have the fault codes read at an accredited auto transmission shop for a proper diagnosis and quote
Tighten your fuel cap 3 times to make sure its tightned. don't push it in when you tighten it. Use Fuel injection cleaner like once a month... You may have gotten bad gas. Don't use 100 percet gas. Use gas with ethenol... you get better gas mileage. I go through 3-4 tanks a week. I use the 87 octane and I put Berrymans Fuel injection cleaner in once a week. I don't know about your hesitations though I drive a 5 speed
Hey thanks. I'll try that.
thank you.
