Stalls when braking 
Solved
Daewoo Lanos 1999 250000 miles
Some weeks ago, my vehicle started failing and I hope you can give me a hand. After driving for 30 minutes or so, and stopping at a traffic light, the engine stalls and it is really hard to start it again. I need to wait for a long time until it cools down. Once, it stalled when lowering the electric window, being stopped at a traffic light. I've already checked the coil, spark plugs and injectors. The car was scanned but no failure was indicated, except for a low electric current consumption. I really do not know what might be happening.

Check the sparks plugs' coil.

CommentOverdrive activation and automatic transmission hit
Daewoo Lanos 1998 105000 miles
When setting the Reverse or Drive, the automatic transmission hits strongly. Even more, when driving and activating the low beam lamps and sometimes when turning the air conditioning on, the Overdrive is activated and the speedometer needle drives crazy. After a while, it normalizes and the Overdrive is deactivated. But, occasionally, this does not happen alone and I need to turn off the vehicle so that everything comes back to normal. What might be happening?

You have an electric problem, so I recommend you to check the connection that leads to the automatic transmission. Check properly the ground wires and also that the right voltage is reaching the computer. You will need to scan your vehicle to determine that, and the voltage should be 12V; if it is less, that is when the failure you mentioned appears.
Thanks for your answer, ned. Finally, the problem was the TPS sensor. Thanks.
CommentPower loss, tends to stall
Daewoo Lanos 1998 0 miles
Hello, I have a Lanos and its problem is that it is always powerless and tends to stall. When turning the air conditioning on, this failure is even more noticeable. I've already changed the IAC valve, spark plugs, injectors, fuel filter and pump, computer and even the idle speed connectors, but nothing changed. Can anyone help me please? Thanks.

Check the crankshaft damper which might be damaged.
