Check tps sensor (throttle position sensor in backside of the throttle cable) and map sensor (manifold absolute pressure on front little 1 inch sensor with vacuum line) make sure there plugged in. the ecm (engine control module driver side inner fender) and tcm (transmission control module under dash) both need the data to know when to upshift and increase fuel/air. Otherwise the computer runs default values and guesses off of other sensors giving poor performance. also disconnect battery for 15 min. usually resets aveo service lights if you dont have a scanner.

    I had the same problem with a 2005 Chevy abroad I put a transmission in it was giving me a p300 and a p0781 code and the engine light and hold light was flashing. I end up having to get a used TCM and harness and the Ecm off another car and that fixed my problem.

Check Engine light staying on in Chevy Aveo. Yes

Many things can cause this problem...unfortunately the only proven way to remidy this situation is to have your car scanned by a reputable mechanic with a diagonstic machine $40-$80. This will tell what exactly is causing the check engine light to come on, in the long run its much cheaper replacing whats wrong than trying to replace things that arnt wrong.

The HOLD LIGHT CAME ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHAT COULD THAT MEAN? It is a 2005 chev. aveo with 28,000 miles

There is a hold button on the shifter or the console. When activated the transmission is locked into the selected gear and the hold light will come on.

An example is putting the transmission in 4th gear, pushing the hold button, and taking off in the snow. Wheel slip would be limited.

You will need the check engine light code read with a scanner and diagnosed.

Engine light

I doubt the gas cap is related to the light, though hopefully you can get a replacement for it because it can be dangerous. As for the check engine light I'm not sure what it could be. Is the car running making noises, does it stall?? If there are no obvious symptoms, you might need to take it to a mechanic so they can read the error message from the cars computer and determine where th eproblem is.
