Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Aveo owners report experiencing starting issues, backfiring, and stalling, particularly when suspecting water in the fuel. These problems may stem from water in the gas tank, which can lead to engine stalling and rough running. Additionally, some owners encounter electrical or fuel system issues that cause the engine to start and then die, as it requires the correct balance of air, fuel, and spark to operate effectively. Fuel delivery problems, such as a bad fuel filter or fuel pump, can also result in the vehicle cranking without starting. Furthermore, backfiring may occur due to improper engine timing, faulty spark plugs, or rich fuel mixtures. It is crucial for owners to address these issues promptly to avoid further damage and consider consulting a professional mechanic for a thorough inspection and resolution.
