Re: 04 Aveo died on run, won't even try to start

Yea, being not my car I don't know anything about the history. The PO told him he changed the belt but of course that's all subjective as to how long ago.
I'm 5000 miles away so checking the timing is going to have to wait. I did get him back on it with my test light and it shows no codes he says. I could see the fuel pump code before as it surely needed a pump.
Glad to see that passlock shows lights. Never dealt with it with any of mine ever so far and hope I don't have to ever.
Somebody said the camshaft position sensor was another culprit on these cars. No code though so I doubt it. That will shut off the fuel to the injectors.
Again all that will wait till Feb and they are just pricy enough you don't want to start tossing parts at it. It won't be going anywhere till pas then anyways even if he fixes it. It is sitting at the end of a 80' driveway with nearly solid ice almost a foot thick. :rofl
Its a real ball buster working on this thing. All my tools are 8 miles away and I can never think to bring all the goodies along that get needed, never on one trip. Between working in the dark and cold of that garage of his it's almost better if it was outside in the daylight where it is freezing. Nice car though, he paid $400 for it and it looks like it only has 60K on it and no rust anywhere. Excellent for a Northern car.
