Replying to: framington (Mar 27, 2008 1:17 pm) My suggestion....Get another dealer!   Loose/bad spark plugs DO NOT create fluid leaks!!!!   End of story.

Replying to: framington (Mar 27, 2008 1:17 pm) I agree, a bad or mis-installed spark plug would probably only cause a miss, if even that. And, how does one not install a spark plug right unless it's just loose? I mean, they only go in one way? And, there's no fluid involved with it whatsoever. I'd bet that they didn't put the head or head gasket on correctly when they did the valve job.   GM says not to use those additives. I've used them and they can actually make a problem worse. All most of them are is soap that can be put in the gas tank. And, they only work for fuel-related problems, not bad valves.   I know these cars can have valve problems, but, in honesty, it's not a common occurrence considering all the Aveos out there with well over 60,000 miles, now, who haven't had this problem at all. If what that dealer said was true, a lot more Aveos would be coming into the shop and people wouldn't be getting a run-around like I am hearing.

Replying to: luckins (Mar 12, 2008 4:59 am) I did the same deal at first. Replacing the plugs / wires worked temporarily for me as well, but the problem kept returning. Once the valves allow enough oil into the plug sockets, you'll have to replace them again and again. Replies to this message: luckins (Apr 25, 2008 5:24 pm)

Replying to: mc_ensor (Apr 25, 2008 8:33 am) I actually took it in to have a fuel injection service and now it runs almost perfectly. I does have a funny hesitation thing, sometimes, when I first start it, but otherwise, it's about as good as a car with MPFI can get, I think.
