In most cases running with the light on uses a lot more fuel.
As to tightening the coolant filler cap, How tight would it have to be if there were a hole in it? If there is any doubt have it pressure tested.

As far as your starting/running problem, it could be several issues: 1- Clogged injector(s) based on the condition of the rusty looking fuel you described, 2- Failing fuel pump ( they do not always fail completely all at once, they sometimes work intermittently) or 3- Intermittent spark.
What I would do is get a very strong injector cleaner & get that going through the system, get a fuel pressure testing kit and get it on the fuel rail & check the pressure to see if the pump is weak or working intermittently, get a spark plug tester & a helper and check at each plug for strong spark.
Hope this points you in the right direction!
1. Can I refurbish them?
2. Do I have to replace them?
Car brakes OK but could be better. Just need to know before I go to any expense as the car needs other minor work. Model year is 2000.
THanks
One thing I would DEFINITELY do is flush out the brake fluid and add clean fluid.
I am from PEI and also own a Daewoo Lanos 2002, 1.5. I am wondering if you could tell me where I could buy parts for this type of car? I am in need of a timing belt and cant seem to find one anywhere. You mentioned that Mitsubishi were great for customer service, were they able to provide you with any parts?
Thank you
Good luck!

I know its been some time but were you able to fix the speedo?
I have the same problem now.
Cheers
Need to get access to fuel pump.
Many thanks,

A mechanic friend says it's most likely not the fuel, but the air line that's not venting properly. The closest I can find in the manual is the canister vapor line, is this right?
Another friend said that similar to the flap at the top of the fuel pipe, by the gas cap, there may be one at the tank end to prevent people siphoning your gas, and this may have rusted shut or become stiff in some way.
If it is just air in the filler neck and the pump nozzle shuts off, then the problem is the pump nozzle.
If you have the first, an obstruction in the filler neck, then you need to remove the obstruction. You could try putting a plastic siphon tube down the filler neck, and see if it makes it down into the tank. If your vehicle was sitting somewhere for a year and a half unattended and unsecure, then someone could have stuffed a sock or something down the tube.
But my problem still stands, I can't get the flex connector pipe OFF from the fuel tank, and was asking if anyone knows any tricks as how to get the 2 apart.
Thanks, we seem to at least be thinking along the same lines.
Fill gas flow will be much greater than a 1/4-3/8" tube, so if you can't get that siphon tube down, that's your problem.....you've got a blockage.
Starts sometimes doesn't other times.
Will start with a jump
Will start after sitting for awhile
Fairly new starter been replaced before (it happened before and after the new starter)
Fairly new battery (problem occurred before and after new battery)
Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks!
Check all your connections, and also the battery ground strap to frame.

when the incident happened there was no sound and the battery and oil lights came on, that was it.
after having a mechanic place the new timing belt on and then trying to start the car w/o the airhose / filter system on i was told that there was damage to the valves or rods. my estimated repair bill would be about 2000.000
i have a hard time believing what i am being told since it took my mechanic 2 weeks to just put the timing belt on. . .
is there any hope for my car ????

You will not get locked out for trying.
I need a replacement part for my 2000 Daewoo Lanos but can't seem to find out what the correct part name is. I got a couple of names (from mechanics no less) i.e charcoal vapor canister, EVAC Canister, and EVAP Canister, but when I searched parts dealers with these names I either got no results or got parts with pictures that look nothing like what's on my car. I did (quite by accident) find a part called a vapor canister solenoid, and the picture does look a lot like the part on my car. To be sure though I hope someone can help me so I don't order the wrong part.
The best description I can give of the part is that it's a "rectangular canister mounted on the right rear chassis next to my gas tank". The metal strap that held it in place broke and the canister was destroyed when it got dragged over the road surface. Since this is giving me an emissions code my vehicle won't pass NYS Inspection due 07/30/11 so it's imperative that I find and replace the part.
Hoping for an answer, Donice
This part is an EVAPORATION CANISTER. In my Leganza factory manual, it is called "EVAP canister". This part may be really hard to find, new.
I suggest you get one from a salvage yard and put in on yourself or have a mechanic do it. You may have to search nationwide for a salvage yard that still has your particular car in their inventory.
Solenoids for this canister are found on the internet.
An evaporation canister has charcoal particles in it that absorb fumes from the gasoline to keep them from going into the atmosphere. These fumes are held in the cannister until the computer commands the solenoid to let them into the engine.
After you install the replacement canister, you should check the hoses to make sure they were not damaged during the dragging on the road surface.
It's a box that installs on a slide and has hoses attached to it.
Turns out my water pump was falling apart. He said the fact that the motor was running was an indication the belt had not yet broken. Because the pump sits on top of the belt, it was putting pressure on the belt. Since I was already in there, and planned on replacing the belt next year anyway, I sprung for the whole thing. I recommend getting those things changed out at 35k if you don't drive a lot. Thankfully I had no engine damage (so far. it's in the shop as I write this). Engines for Nubiras are $1100 for those under 50K miles.
Basically, if you have a car that's not high in resale value, and you want a car that goes faster, the best thing to do is go out and buy yourself a faster car. You're much better off in the long run, because a) once you start modifying a car you can run up more expense that you planned and b) the modified car is often worth less than the stock one.
