What is your question?
2205 Aveo felt like it was going to switch off while driving but after acceleration regained power. Today will not start. Dash lights come on but faintly. Inside light stayed as well. Swings for maybe a second but immediately dies. The battery on the car is one year old. Please advise.

sounds like you have a bad alternator .Will it start with a boost if so have the charging system checked
This question is a litter hard. What only I can do is suggest you go to http://www.obd2life.com to have a look. Hope can help.
You need a shop to do some testing on this, everything is in play at this point from losing charging system voltage to fuel pump pressure to even mechanical concerns. Get it checked out and let us know what they found and we can advise from there.
Thanks Journeyman. I did a battery swap test and it started fine with a new battery. I will replace the battery and hope that this was the problem. I rather have flat battery problem than some other mechanical/ electrical issues to contend with.
Thanks for the advise Master. I actually think that the battery is flat. I replaced the battery with one from another car and it started fine. My concern is that the battery is only a year old and is now stuffed. I have had batteries previously that lasted for 3 years with no problems. I will try charging this battery to see if I can still use it for a while longer. What do you think?
