Power loss, jerks and stalls 
Solved
2000 Daewoo Matiz 144000 miles
Hello, I have a big problem with my Matiz 2000. It is powerless and, at idle speed, once the normal working temperature is reached, revolutions raise and drop continuously, generating a low oil pressure. Even more, the car jerks considerably at any gear and both when cold or warm. In order to stop the jerking a little bit, I need to keep the clutch pressed more than usual, generating a disgusting burnt clutch smell. I've replaced everything already, including: cylinder head, valves, filters, fuel pump, sensors, TPS, IAC, spark plugs, wires, camshaft, timing belt, hoses, among many other things, but nothing got better. The car has got a good compression, around 160 pounds. I really do not know what else to do. Thanks in advance for any help you could give me.

I had a similar problem and the failure was the crankshaft axial play, as it was wrongly installed.

Luckily, my problem was finally solved. The camshaft has got a pin or cog that can be easily seen. In my eagerness to replace everything, I also changed the camshaft but, the one I bought, belonged to a Daewoo Tico and it was not exactly the same; this cog's position was the one that was slightly different. So I decided to buy a new Matiz camshaft and, when replacing it, the vehicle started working perfectly again. Hope I can help others with the same problem.

Had a similar problem, found the earth from the alternator not good and the car was 100% after I connected it. Seems the ECU needs full voltage from the alternator and can't work on battery power alone. Can try this...

CommentPower loss Solved
2001 Daewoo Matiz 1000 miles
Once the engine warms up, my Matiz loses power considerably. I was told it might be the egr valve because some black smoke is also released when accelerating sharply. But oil is not consumed, and the engine has been recently serviced. Hope you can help me.

I found the problem; it was the ignition coil that was failing.

CommentHigh Fuel Consumption and Jerking
2010 Daewoo Matiz 0 miles
Hi everyone,
I bought a new complete engine for my Daewoo matiz 3 (automatic transmission) a month ago. Initially the fuel consumption was okay until I started facing difficulty in starting the car a week after. I took it to an auto electrician based on the recommendation of my mechanic. After several diagnosis, the issue was resolved but my fuel consumption increased more than twice the initial. In addition, the car jerks when at low speeds especially when the gears changing between 2 and 3.
