Could be any number of things. Could be:-
1. Blockage in your fuel filter
2. Blockage in your cat convertor
3. Blockage in your fuel pipe
4. Faulty Map/Oxygen sensor
5. Dirty or faulty injector
6. Exhaust Blockage
7. Low Voltage i.e. battery/HT lead/Dissy Cap/Rotar Arm/Sparks
(you may be running on only 2 cyclinders!)
and this list is by no means exhausted...
My advice is to cough up £60/£70 and go to a dealer to get a read out, but before that do number 1 & 7 as they are cheap to do, any probably needs changing anyway!

My 2001 Matiz recently had some problems. Initially, when trying to start the motor, it wouldn't start and there was no noise at all indicating a problem with the starter motor. After clutch starting it and 5km down the road, it began to lose power finally losing all power at the traffic lights. After getting it towed, I was told that it was a problem with the computer and that the starter motor, battery and alternator were perfect and there was no blockage in the fuel pipe.
A Holden representative had to visit the mechanic with his piece of equipment that interprets the error code that was coming from the computer and there was found to be a problem with the cambus part in computer. Additionally, there was found to be water in the distributor (how it got here I don't know how). All up to fix this issue was $140 AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR. $100.00 was for the hour the Holden rep spent at the mechanics performing the diagnostic system scan. The $40 AUD was the mechanic's work fixing the distributor (apparently there was a distributor pipe that was facing upwards allowing water to enter).
I hope this helps,

Most models of Daewoo Matiz hold 35 liters or 9 gallons of fuel. On average the Daewoo Matiz gets 33-40 miles per gallon. On a full tank of 9 gallons the car would get between 297 miles and 360 miles.
i had the very same problem on my 1999 matiz,it was a broken wire on the fuel injector.(i'd changed the distributor cap,fuel filter,plugs etc before finding out it was this)hope this helps.
A good place to find a Daewoo Matiz for sale within the UK would be online at autotrader, motors or 1st choice. The pages feature the model in different colors and with different specifications. In order to buy a cheap car, one should compare prices or consult a local expert.
you must be using the brakes too much, start using the handbreak more please.
aslong as you hav not tried to start it with it snapped then there will be no damage just a new belt needed
That would most likely be the intake manifold. I expect you can get a replacement manifold at any car part replacement shop. If not got to a Chevrolet dealer.
Yes, as the mixture would run lean and possible misfires could occur.
If you have a manual transmission, then it sounds like your clutch is slipping and needs to be replaced. If the RPM's of the engine are roaring and your car is barely moving, that would be my first assumption. Mechanic.
My timing belt was almost broke and they sais that it was a good thing that I got it to the dealer when I did, or the entire thing would have been wrecked. I don't think even a new engine would help Daewoo's have interference engines, more them likely you bent some or all of the valves...
would the ECU cause misfiring
The term "blown engine" usaully means the the engine is dead in which case you would not have any power. In the racing world the term "blown engine" could mean something else. A blown engine would be an engine that is super charged with a blower in which case you would have more power.
