This car is a 2014 chevy captiva it has had multiple leaks that I have repaired on my own the engine gussles up gas like there's no tomorrow and then on hot days even though all liquids are filled will randomly have a check engine code and a reduced engine code amd service stabiltek system come on all at once. Now in this car I replaced the fuel pump, up and down 02 sensors the whole catalytic system front from to back and this issue still happens. Something is internally wrong with this car.and when the car decides to through these codes it makes a percolating sound like a pot of coffee is almost done brewing in the cabin of the car.
