Ok, so a friend's hubby is a mechanic and he came to have a look, says it's not mechanical but is the idle control and I need the computer scan on it. So next question is around how much is this going to cost me!

Having a similar problem with 1995 Primera 2.0l. engine light stays on. Start's, run's briefly, put in Drive, cut's out, leave it awhile , start's, doesthe same think. I suspect fuel filter, other backyard experts say Fuel Pump. Any idea's here, TIA

Its scan time, ditching the backyard experts and finding out why the CEL is staying on is the first step.P10's don't have great fuel pump in them anyway but I'd be surprised if that's what the issue was.Sticking idle control valves are a known problem, if its far worse when cold and barely noticeable warm it would pay to check it.Its a pig to get to the valve, even on a hoist.

Haven't read all the thread for all symptoms but the Daewoo Matiz is very prone for the distributors playing up.We bought one off a lady that was doing very similar things for her (but hers was manual) and no garage/sparky could diagnose it so she gave up on it.After talking to another dismantler that had wrecked a few of them he sent me a dissy to try and it fixed the problem straight away. My wife drove it for 18months after that without missing a beat.

Hi, my wee automatic car has started bunny hopping when I accelerate. Have heard hubby check it out and there is nothing obvious out of place, any ideas and/or cheapest Io option for getting it fixed. Thanks

i valueyour advise . what do you base this information on exactly! because i cantsee how i couldremotly come to a conclusion like this with the given information. Would be good to know howyou came to the switch! you could beright who, knows its not bad information i just cant come to this conclusion with the little vague information at hand.
ifits a drive bywirewee automaticcar then there is no such thing as a idle switch on it to begin with, its why i want to know what exactlywe deal with first.

mmm time of the year peeps can be in silly season mode and grab the wrong fuel pump-cheapest-might be check who fueled it last and check the fuel receipt-or double check date time and pump with the gas station.lol
you could be right who, knows its not bad information i just cant come to this conclusion with the little vague information at hand.

Hi, thanks foradvice thus far. It's a daewoo matiz 2004. Checked all fluids and hoses. Stalls when reversing too, if take foot off accelerator and press gently the jumping stops. Doubt its wrong gas as filled up and drove 1 1/2 hours to city, around city and back home with no problem, I'm guessing this means itis a transmission problem.

no not nessearely a trans problem. you need to have somone whom is no moron look at it and that is going to be hard to find. i dont even know what the daewoo factory scantool is . you could get a generic scantool and hook it up and see what it tells about it as 2004 is obd2 emission and hopping affects emmision i would say . Do you have a check engine light on on the instrumentwhen it hops! or at any time when engine is running!
