All cars manufactured in America (for certain) have VIN numbers on the engine, chassis and possibly other locations as well. This is for consumer protection mainly as the Chassis and Engine VIN should always match, unless the engine has been replaced with a rebuilt one.
to remove brake rotors you will need to remove the hub assembly. you will need a slide hammer. unless you have this tool and lots of patience i would recommend letting a mechanic work on it.
In this industry, I avoid words like "ONLY". It is a word that is relative to the user. Others may know of more possiblites or are just plain other possiblities. And don't forget about multiple problems. Anyways, Generally when an ignition module is bad, the engine can crank normal but not fire. ...
Assuming it's not in the gas tank, most fuel pumps are very easy to change. They are usually mounted to the engine block with 2 or 3 bolts. You just find the fuel line coming up from the fuel tank. Follow the line until you see where it reaches the fuel pump. You diconnect the fuel line going in ...
Just guessing but I would say someone worked on the engine and didn't get something right. Option 1 Timing Chain was replaced and the marks on the gears were not aligned correctly. Option 2 The distributor was replaced and not lined up correctly with the piston on the compression stroke instead o...
there should be a distributer (where the spark plug wires go) try loosening the 2 bolts and turning the distributer a little bit
Spark plug electrode gap, distributor cap tracking/cracked, rotor tracking, plug wires and plug hoods tracking to engine. Start car in the dark and look for sparking around distributor cap and along the plug wires. Sometimes the plug wires spark to the engine case where they are lying against it ...
The availability of diagrams will depend on a few variables including the year of your vehicle and how much of the vehicle is factory original. For original equipment diagrams, check your local auto parts stores for repair books for your specific vehicle published by companies such as Chilton's o...
The first manual they give us techs but they are not quite done with it or the design of the vehicle its kida a rush job when they finish they give us the replacements.
Thils is a typical problem in the geo transmission. There is a check valve in the shift body of the transmission. It is easily fixed and costs next to nothing. If you haven't fixed it by now contact me and I'll give you the information. Mr Geo Metro [email protected]
There are two types of transmission fluid used by this car. For a manual transmission us 75W90 GL5 gear oil, and for an automatic use DEXRON-III.
Phone parts store ask for warranty length, depends on brand and mileage use.it should be changed every 60,000 miles
If you are referring to the Blower Motor, then there is a fuse and a Blower Motor Resistor Pack. If you are referring to the Radiator Fan Motor then there is a fuse and a thermal sensor. Please restate the question you want answered in a clearer manner.
The fuel pump is in the gas tank. Are you up to taking it out? If so, let me know and I'll give you the procedure. I just did it and it wasn't that big a deal. Well, maybe it would have been if I didn't have a hoist to get it up where I could work on it. Mr. Geo Metro [email protected]
Remove the cables from the starter. Remove the three retaining bolts from the starter. The starter will come out. Reverse the process to install the new starter.
Check Coolant Level It Could Be Low. Also Sounds as If Your Thermostat Is Bad.
The belt tensioner needs to be replaced along with the belt and adjusted correctly.Procedures for this can be found in a chiltons or Haynes manual for your vehicle.
If it has high mileage it may be pushing oil past the piston rings. When a valve job is done to a high mileage motor it tends to worsen a oil consumption problem because it seals the top end of the motor but the bottom end(rings,pistons) cannot hold the extra pressure caused by the now more effic...
NO! Geo Storms have a 4X100mm bolt pattern, a Geo Metro has 4X114.3mm bolt pattern.
Disconnect the distributor cap end of the coil wire and attach to an ignition tester. Attach the ignition tester to a good ground, away from any fuel lines. A good spark tester can be made from an old spark plug gapped to 0.200". Crank the engine and observe the tester for spark. If a crisp blue ...
definitively a no no, the cam lobes on the shaft in the 3 cylander distributer will not match to open points for a 4 cylinder. you need a 4 cylinder distributor. 4 or 5 notches verses 3 notches visually different distributors with different part numbers.
The fuel pump is in the gas tank. While you are in there, you should replace the screen that is on the suction side of the pump. Also, the fuel filter is just outside the tank and should be replaced. Mr Geo Metro [email protected]
You most certainly do, it is called overdrive. You may be able to achieve high speeds in 4th gear, BUT you can also acheive those speeds in 5th gear but with lower RPMs, thus resulting in an increase in fuel economy
LOL, some dont have crank sensors my friend! if you dont have a crank sensor by your oil pan then you have a bad distributor sensor!
The headlamp switch is on the turn signal stalk.
For the Geo Metro, multiport fuel injection was introduced in 1998, replacing TBI. This car was in production from 1989 to 2001.
Check battery voltage. Check the ground connections for loose or corroded conditions. Check the connector at the bulb. Check bulb against a known good one. Under the dash, left hand side, check white connector. Typically, power wire has overheated/melted. Replace connector or splice in new wire.
Take the terminals off the battery and leave them off for 30 minutes, then put them back on.
# 1 is closest to the timing belt and furtherest from the transmission.
The wiring for Geo imports for 1989 model years and up is as follows.Black: Left rear pos.Red: Right rear pos.White w/ green stripe: Ground return from dimmer.Grey: + 12v ACC.Pink: Left front pos.Bright green: Right front pos.Yellow: Left rear neg.White: Right rear neg.Brown: GroundGreen: Illumin...
Yes!! There is a header available for the Suzuki g10, 1.0 liter, 3 cylinder engine! You can find this very easily at "suzukird.com" You have the option of a flange, and/or an o2 sensor bunghole!
have your front driver side control arm bushings checked and ball joint and tie rod end well have them check both sides just in case
Standing in front of the car looking at the engine. Left to right 1-2-3-4
The 1995 Geo Metro spark plug torque specification is 20 pounds. You should torque the spark plug intent pound intervals.
Replacing the transmission can be difficult if you're inexperienced or lacking the proper tools. I recently replaced my own on a '97 3 cylinder 5 speed. Mind you, this quick guide will explain how to remove a manual transmission.Make sure you are working on a clean, concrete surface since you wil...
i had a 1993 1.0 3 door metro and i got up to 53MPG at the height of its lifeThe 5 speed manual gets better MPG over any Automatic Transmission. The engine size also has to deal with this, the 3 cyl is better than the 4 cyl models. There are so many things that effect the MPG of a vehicle, that y...
Begin by loosening the tensioner pulley. Take the old air conditioning drive belt on. Put the new air conditioning drive belt on and tighten the tensioner pulley.
Kinda-sorta.Small changes are OK, but mess with the wheel size enough and the load on the engine will change(it'll be like driving in the wrong gear) which will hurt the MPG.Also, you don't want to go crazy wide either, as that will affect rolling resistance. With higher rolling resistance you ge...
More than likely worn rod bearings.
Oil check valves are designed to stop the drain-back of oil. A replacement valve costs between $25 and $30 depending on where you buy it.
4inch in front r-l grill easy installation but very shallow
That would depend on the size and model of the car.It would also depends on the size of the people.
The Geo Metro is not rated to tow. It would be very unsafe to do so. they are not supposed to according to the manual but i have towed a large jet ski (yamaha 1200) thousands of miles with no trouble at all
Probably sheer age. There are two things that can leak in the areas you refer to. First of course is that valve cover gasket. If it is leaking its no great challenge to replace it. If you are not mechanically inclined then take to to a competent garage and have it done. Of more difficult note is ...
