Yesterday I took the Daewoo Lanos im only 17 my family has this car and a BMW X5 3.0i anyways my dad took the X5 which i drive more then the lanos so i took the lanos i got to my cousins house and 3 hours later it wouldnt start so i tried jumping it nothing i checked the oil's air system to make sure it was clean i checked the injector clean and then i thought it must be the starter but iwasnt sure didnt want to spend 140au on a working part so i went ahead and called roadside the guy came he started jumping it i said i did it already he said let me do my job i said fine so he went on and he was turning the key over and over for 15min straight and the car woudlnt start so i said it's not going to do it so he starts looking and looking and he says youre right so he goes to teh car and brings something like a crow bar and starts beating the **** out of a part well at least i thouhgt he was so he goes back in and its not starting again so he comes finishing question in add details.

You've probably got a loose vacuum hose. When you hit the brakes, it is starving your car for air, nearly making it stall. Check your intake fittings and your vacuum hoses. Unless the thing he was hitting under the hood was the master cylinder or brake booster - then that's your problem.

I'll bet he was beating on your starter, trying to shake some life into it. (This sometimes works , but a tap is more appropriate than a beating.
Anyway, It didn't work in this case, and once you replaced the starter, it should have nothing to do with it....... unless he pounded on your spark plugs or dislodged the wires. I would look there first because it sounds like 1 or more cylenders is not firing.
If this is the case , you might report your friendly roadside helper to his superior.

Sounds to me like the car has dropped a cylinder due to either a plug wire off, broken plug, broken plug wire boot, split wire, or loose plug. Check all the plugs on that particular side of the car where the starter is(most likely on the passenger side) unless it's frontwheel drive(in front of engine). Check all those plugs/wires for what I mentioned. If that's not it. Call road-side services and tell them to fix your car....
