My car starts drives for about a minute than dies and now will not turn over.

Due to the many (various) descriptions of an engine that is inoperable - it is strongly advised to have qualified personnel check your vehicle over to discover where the actual testing should begin. There are just too many variations of won't start .. EX: An engine that will not CRANK is totally different from an engine that will not START .. Many people use the phrase â€œwill not turn overâ€ .. That implies the starter motor is not CRANKING the engine so the engine is able to START. â–ªï¸ https://repairpal.com/repair-shops â–ªï¸ (This engine is equipped with a timing belt) Good luck!

It was two problems. First problem was the crankshaft position sensor which gave no code because it had gotten cut into by the radiator fan. Second part was the P2135 Code for Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch A / B Voltage Correlation. This code seems to be common for Chevy Aveo cars. Ive read this problem could be caused at various places in the car. I would start with getting another the throttle body with a sensor on it. If you try and look up and buy just a throttle position sensor its a completely different sensor than that which is on the throttle body.Video fix for 2007 Chevy Aveo5 and a whole Chevy Aveo forum website. The rumbling noise was the radiator fan cutting the crankshaft position sensor.

There is definitely a huge advantage of having actual diagnostic trouble codes to refer to - as in the P2135 .. Not to mention the ability to perform *hands-on* visual inspection and system testing .. The only problem is the root cause of most failures will vary greatly from each individual occurrence - it would be rare for these particular circumstances to ever occur on another Chevrolet Aveo .. Kinda unusual fir the radiator cooling fan to cut the crank sensor wiring. Glad you got it back on road.
