1F–292 ENGINE CONTROLS
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
HESITATION, SAG, STUMBLE
Definition: Momentary lack of response as the accelera-
tor is pushed down. This can occur at any vehicle speed.
It is usually the most severe when first trying to make the
vehicle move, as from a stop. Hesitation, sag, or
stumble may cause the engine to stall if severe enough.
Important: Before diagnosing this condition, check ser-
vice bulletins for PROM updates.

1. Check the fuel system pressure. If the pressure is
not within the value specified, service the fuel
system as needed.
2. Inspect the Throttle Position (TP) sensor for
binding or sticking. The TP sensor voltage should
increase at a steady rate as the throttle is moved
toward Wide Open Throttle (WOT).

1. Check the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
sensor response and accuracy.
2. Inspect the fuel for water contamination.
3. Check the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister
Purge System for proper operation.

1. Repair or replace the faulty fuel injector drive
harness, the connector, or the connector terminal.
2. If the connections and the harnesses are good,
replace the Engine Control Module (ECM).

8
Measure the resistance of each fuel injector.
Is the fuel injector resistance within the value
specified (the resistance will increase slightly at
higher temperatures)? 11.6–12.4 Ω Go to Step 10 Go to Step 9
9
Replace any of the fuel injectors with a resistance
that is out of specifications.

Check the fuel system pressure after a cold start or
during moderate or full throttle acceleration.
Is the fuel pressure within specifications?
