Daewoo Matiz cranks but does not start

My Matiz SG (2000) which was running fine so far started cutting out on the road about two moths back. Now it is so frequent, you can't run it for 10 minutes continuously. After cutting out it won't start for 30-60 minutes. Then it would start again. I have seen that no current flows from the coil to the distributor when the car is stalled.

I have changed the distributor and ignition coil. Battery is fine. Wiring expert could not identify a fault. Got fuel pump checked but no use. My mechanic swapped various sensors and ECM with another Matiz, but couldn't find any problem. Also the valves are fine. Me and my mechanic are frustrated. Can anyone help?

    I have almost exactly the same problem with my 2000 Matiz SE+. Just clocked 30K miles and have exactly the same problem you describe. Although now it does not start at all. I thought as it appeared to get worse that something was gumming up, so I cleaned all the leads, plugs.....removed, stripped and cleaned the distributor (points and rotor), reassembled and nothing. I am probably wondering whether I have the correct firing order for the distributor though as I failed to take note of lead placement (DOH!). I know the firing order is 1,3,2......But not sure what this means in relation to the plugs and distributor points. Any ideas?

Does your your alarm ligth stay on when switch car on? If it does then ther is a problem with your car alarm system.

Under your stearing rack is a white box. Take it to your local car alarm dealer to get new car ship and get new ship melted in your key.

SOURCE: daewoo cielo 1997 spluttering @ startup

Try to reset the IAC valve on the throttle body it has 4 wires t it .
procedure is as follows

turn ignition key on (don't start the engine), unplug the IAC valve, turn the key off, replug the IAC .Do this 3-4 times .Then start the engine while holding the pedal down at about 2000 rpm then let the rpm down slowly till idle. Sometimes the throttle requires cleaning then redo the reset.

check cylinder compressions wet and dry
any difference of about 25PSI is enough to warrant engine repairs

Why daewoo matiz 800cc cranks but wil not start

First things first...check for fault codes..If it was your immobilizer you would have a light on to tell you -(flashing as you turn the key to crank the engine )... and you would have no spark..at the plugs at all.

If your engine has compression, fuel and a spark it will run...

You need to check for fuel and spark as your starting point for trouble shooting your cranks no start problem.

Excessive consumption of fuel of daewoo matiz and cutting off

Sounds like the Oxygen sensor in the exhaust may not be working effectively. Check the connections and wiring running to it. The Oxygen sensor only starts to work when hot so be careful. The sensor outputs a pulse of voltage when the engine is running. If the voltage output is steady then it needs replacing.
