Chevrolet Spark
The city car, and the direct descendant of the Daewoo Matiz — early cars carry Daewoo part numbers and Daewoo service information, which is where to look for anything before about 2010. Mechanically among the simplest cars here: a naturally aspirated three- or four-cylinder with port injection, no turbocharger and a four-speed automatic or a CVT at most. Its faults are age and neglect rather than design — ignition coils, crank sensors and earth points account for most of what it sets codes about.

Service information
Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
