My Chevy aveo5 2011 don't have any code but lack of power and engin vibrating at 3K rpm at any gear speed automatic transmission what is the problem?

If no codes are set, i would suspect an intake or exhaust restriction- clogged air filter, catalytic converter, smashed exhaust pipe, or possibly a failing fuel pump is causing you to loose fuel pressure. Check your short and long term fuel trims. If they go more than -5%- i would suspect a restriction; if they are more than 5% positive- i would suspect lack of fuel.

I have a mazda etude 2003 model. It jerk around. Replaced the coulpacks, coils and the petrl pump. Still jerks around. Can only bearly drive in first gear. When the enjin is cold it goes to 5th gear...

believe what you are describing is a plugged catalytic converter / exhaust. The converter could be plugging up when getting warm, then working again once it cools down. Check your exhaust when you start it cold and see if it becomes restricted after warming up. You can also read the temp. on the exhaust before the converter and after the converter to see if it's plugged.

My Ford Escort GL 1.6 Jerks whenever i reach 80km/h, the stench of petrol is also high during this time.

When it's in neutral and you hit the gas, does the rpm rise slowly? And if you try to give it too much throttle does it choke and try to die? It sounds like your catalytic converter is partially plugged, or there is some other exhaust restriction. If the check engine light is on, there may be relevant diagnostic codes available, some of the auto parts chains used to read the codes for you for free, but I'm not certain that is still the case.

How to replace the oxygen sensor

There are two sensors, one on the exhaust manifold the other on the catalytic converter. The exhaust manifold is the easy one to replace, the other the car needs to be on a lift.

Changing the O2 sensor will improve you gas mileage,

Muffler exhaust has a leak with no catalyc converter

You know the situation

Your car is illegal,it won't pass inspection or run
correctly as is

I would replace the entire exhaust system,at least
the necessary missing parts

When you have something like that, I suspect the entire
car needs a lot of work

Exhaust problems

You need to replace the catalitic converter. If you try to weld it the heat will destroy the interior anyway.
