I believe that what you are saying is that it is turning over but will not crank...(run), not sure what your problem is, but I can help you to narrow it down. In order for your engine tp crank...start...run, you need three things to be right..#1 adequate compression, #2 ample spark, #3 the correct fuel/air mix. The first thing i would check is spark..reason, #1 failure of the 3. You can start by seeing if you have spark at the plug(S)...Just because you have it on one does not mean that you have it on all. 2nd most common failure would be no fuel...improper mix, you are fuel injected, so likely a sensor/computer issue...and the most uncommon of the 3 would be a compression issue. Which would likely not occur on all cylinders so the engine would still run, unless the cause was a broken timing belt. Gives you something to start on. Good Luck.Hope this helps.

2004 Chevy Aveo in Minor fender bender now won't start where is fuel shut off reset

Technically, you don't have one.
If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure and fuel injector pulse. Any applicable trouble codes?
If only a fuel issue, check voltage and ground at the fuel pump, note the wire colors, also, check the fuel pump relay.

Is not getting fuel to injectors has new cpu and crank sensor and a new cam sensor. motor is new .i was told when it died going down the hiway it needed a new engine, but this is what has been going on...

check the fuel pump and related electrical system and fuses. The aveo doesn't have a fuel filter but only a screen at the bottom of the pump. I had to replace the fuel pump in my 2004 aveo at 80k due to a clogged screen. Hope this helps

2004 Aveo Unknown will not start

Daughters 2004 Aveo stopped dead on freeway. Plastic thermostat on engine and melted off. Chevy said it blew the engine, searched on line and found 17 pages of same complaint. Chevy repaired car for free. Still not worth the worry. But if this is your problem, fight it don't pay for repairs!
