2013 Chevrolet Spark Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2013 Chevrolet Spark covers a four-door hatchback offered as LS, LT and LTZ, all of them carrying the same naturally aspirated 1.2L DOHC inline-four of 74 cubic inches. With one engine across the range, the fuel, ignition and emissions material needs no qualification by displacement, and the differences a technician meets between trims are electrical and interior rather than mechanical, which is where the wiring diagrams and module diagnostics earn their place.

Known issues on the 2013 Spark. Five recalls are on the federal record. Two of them concern the secondary hood latch, which can corrode at its pivot and stick out of position; if the primary latch is not engaged, the hood can come up while the car is moving. Another covers a passenger air bag inflator with a faulty weld that may keep the bag from deploying at all. The remaining two involve radios that fail to sound their warning chimes. Owners have logged 146 complaints, 33 on the power train, 27 on the electrical system and 14 on the engine.
