#1035 of 1692 to anna by p10leadman Nov 30, 2006 (7:23 am)
You maybe correct, the tranny is of suspect. The only other thing I can think of is bad CV joints. You don;t mention how many miles on the car- for what it's worth, my 1995, with 116,000 miles on it has the lurch problem you describe, but it just started it recently. But it has a great pick up and go- no lack of power. Now my 1997 Geo has the lack of power issue, but not the lurching (yet) both of mine are automatic transmissions.(I assume yours is too) Well, the only thing I can suggest is a good tranny shop- like AAMCO . good luck-   Replies to this message: annablume (Nov 30, 2006 5:31 pm)

Replying to: annablume (Nov 30, 2006 3:38 am) Hello. First - this happen when the engine is cold or hot? Second - please check the connection between the accelerator cable to the trouthle body. If you have very little clearence between the set srew and the "cam" plate, which is attached to the acceleratore cable - you will need to lubricate the shaft in the "carburator" ( trouthle body). Check also the spring attached to the camplate is not damaged. Let me know. Replies to this message: annablume (Nov 30, 2006 5:38 pm) pipeman (Dec 01, 2006 2:44 am)

Replying to: p10leadman (Nov 30, 2006 7:23 am) Thanks for the info, p10leadman -   Our Geo has about 83000 miles on it, and it's never been driven hard or for very long distances - we use it for around town mostly.   And yes, our Geo is an automatic transmission.   I looked up CV joints today, and apparently a symptom of a bad CV joint is a clicking sound on turns. As I described in my first post, there is no noise whatsoever when the Geo lurches or when it turns. However, we'll have the CV joints checked.   I guess we'll also be seeing the AAMCO guy too.

Replying to: pipeman (Nov 30, 2006 7:56 am) Thanks for your post, pipeman -   The lurching happens mostly when the engine is cold, but sometimes it will do it when it's hot. For example, if we come to a full stop at a stop sign, then accelerate, it will lurch or jump, then it's okay.   We'll have the connection and spring checked as you suggested. What you've described sounds very probable, given the Geo's performance.   Thanks again... Replies to this message: pipeman (Dec 01, 2006 2:44 am)

Replying to: annablume (Nov 30, 2006 5:38 pm) hello again. Please check those recomendation, but do not try to adjust the 'set srew' on the "carburator" - throutle body. If the cam rest on the set srew, next step will be - throtle body positioning sensor mounted on thre second side . Remove the 2 srew, gently and check for operation. Let me knoiw. After that I will let you know. Mark
#1040 of 1692 94 Geo Metro--3cyl-standard by deborahf Dec 01, 2006 (9:21 am)
Thanks to all! I had a tune-up done and my car seems to be starting with no problem now. Even in the rain. Also, I am driving below half a tank of gas because of the gas leak. Can't do the gas tank repair yet. Keep your fingers crossed. Deborah

Replying to: shaggyman1 (Mar 16, 2001 12:35 pm) I just did a valve job on a 90 metro, with #1 exhaust valve burnt. Had the valves ground, ect.. Put it back together and #2 intake valve is hanging open. If I take the cam. out it seals fine under a 30 psi. leak down test. When checking the lifter on #2 intake it's hard as a rock and the others are nice and spongy. I took the lifter apart and cleaned it, it looked fine no broken spring or Anything scored.it back toghter and it's still hard a rock, valve doesn't seal. It seams like the lifter is all the way bottomed out. Why is the valve still hanging open? Replies to this message: pipeman (Dec 11, 2006 8:35 am)

Replying to: tarrantt90 (Dec 03, 2006 12:35 pm) Check thje oil passages inside the "folowers" lifter and also how easy is moving inside. They are very sensible for dirty oil. Also check the flow in the cyl. head. Remove the lifter and look inside the cyl. head for small opening on the bottom of the hole. I'm sure they are klogged. Mark
#1044 of 1692 check engine light is on!! by metro9606 Dec 12, 2006 (7:14 am)
I am thinking about buying a 96 metro hatchback. The owner of the car is original. The check engine light has come on in the last months or so he says. I was wondering if anyone here has experienced the same problem? Id like to work around goin to a shop to have it tested! Replies to this message: pipeman (Dec 12, 2006 8:43 am)
