I started my car and when I accelerate it doesn't go any higher than 20mph. I'm trying to figure out what the problem is. In the past I had the same problem. So I put a bottle of heet in it and worked fine. Now it just won't get any go over 20mph.

Is the check engine light on? When was the last tune up? Have you checked fuel pump pressure? Have you checked to make sure the catalytic converter isn't plugged?

Does a Chevy Aveo has a reset button in the fuel system? Im having a problem with the fuel system. I checked the fuse and relay even I replaced the fuel pump but the pump is not working. I sprayed staring fluid in the intake and the car started for 2 seconds.

Welcome to the forum, I'd use a gage and check fuel pressure before suspecting the pump, Check for good voltage and ground at the pump, if that checks out and no pump action, suspect the pump. The pump is in the tank, You should be able to access by removing the rear seat. There is no reset button, that I'm aware of.
