Ade Ray Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Yes I know it's only got three cylinders but my wifes daewoo Matiz has got a bit of a problem that if anyone could shed some light on I would be most grateful. After a trip of about 125 miles with no problems, on our way back from Salisbury the car seems to have developed an unusual idle charecteristic of alternately revving and fading when the clutch is depressed. With the clutch engaged the car will quite happily pull along at 15 miles an hour with no assistance from us. It seems more than just an idle issus due to the varying revs but I am clueless. Anyone have any ideas. Cheers Ade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Off the wall thought, but could it be the clutch cable is somehow fouling the throttle cable and moving the throttle cable when the clutch is depressed? Chris 1.8K SV 140hp see it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ade Ray Posted May 27, 2003 Author Share Posted May 27, 2003 Chris It did cross my mind that the cables could be fouling but the engine revs and fades even in neutral without the clutch pedel being depressed. rossybee Shame on you, that was dreadful! Thanks Ade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banzai Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Maybe a sensor problem? (Air mass/oxygen?). Seem to remember a similar problem on my Dad's Charade a few years ago. Does it have an ECU? Do I know what I am talking about? Probably not.... Regards Ian Red & Ali Zetec 52777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
