Power loss, jerks and stalls 
Solved
Daewoo Matiz 2000 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...
