#1043 of 1692 Re: Sick Metro [tarrantt90] by 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)

Replying to: metro9606 (Dec 12, 2006 7:14 am) What millage? Second - if the engine runs fine, do not worry about the engine lights - CO2 oxy sensor. Check the engine - drive longer period time more that 1/2 hrs. and check the engine in idling for ligths for oil pressure. Remeber oil must be hot. Check the lights on dashborad. If nothing come red, do not worry. Let mem know about the millage.
#1046 of 1692 Headlight failures I have enjoyed .. ! by dangerdude Dec 19, 2006 (9:44 am)
Dear Fellow Metrophiles, I've solved this dilemma and thought I'd tell all about it. Should your low beam headlights quit, and you can only flash your high beams .. here's what it is. Under the dash & up over the clutch pedal (remove front lower dash cover) (3 screws) Look up and find a white plastic multi-pin harness connector. Loosten the holding straps so you can rotate teh plugand you'll see a burnt spot inside the plug. It's a toasted pin. Cut the two wires and re-splice them outside the connector. Voila! Low beams again. This has happened to me TWICE. Different pins inside same connector two different times. Same remedy. Hope this helps somebody!

Now may be you can help with my 1998 it is a 1.3 auto runs great but for this dumb light service Eng soon that I have try ed to get to go out I have changed the ecm fuel pump and a few other parts why you ask well it stalls at time out of the blue it will restart but it may take a few turns of the key. It will start for a split sec and quit any where from 5-10 times then run fine. I have check the codes with a obd II scan tool and get 3 flashes then a few seconds later a 4th then the letter E [error code] I am left to guessing may be a bad ground some where I have been checking all of them one at a time. In my old Chevy it did some thing like this and it turned out to be the module. Any help would be much appreciated Thanks Mike
#1048 of 1692 1997 Geo near death by p10leadman Dec 23, 2006 (7:53 pm)
Replying to: randydriver (Nov 13, 2006 9:15 pm) Hi all, my 1997 2 dr LSi 4 cyl automatic is near death, gas milage has decreased to around 20MPG, the pick up has died to a crawl- The engine has to 'warm up' after shifting into reverse or drive in order to move.... then it seems ok.. It has 116,000 miles on the vehicle. The o2 sensors were replaced 10,000 miles ago, a tune up was done less than 5, 000 miles ago, including air, oil and gas filters. any suggestions out there?
#1049 of 1692 1.0 or bust by thetruth4130 Dec 26, 2006 (7:34 pm)
I think that in general, the 1.0 liter 3 cylinder suzuki engine is the more reliable of the two. If you drive the crap out of them they will stay with traffic. I put 900 lbs of newspapers in them on sometimes without too many problems. If I ever buy another metro, it will also have the 1.0 liter 3 cylinder engine. Also, much better mpg. 94 metro hatchback

Replying to: jubileerun (Jun 20, 2003 2:58 pm) i apologize for not commenting about your subject matter but i've had a 1992 geo metro hatchback for almost three years now and i just love it. the only major work done was to change the timing belt. but i do have a question if that's ok. i should know this but i've spent maybe an hour on the computer trying to find the answer. what is the compression psi for the three cylinder metro?

#1051 of 1692 Compression for the three puffer by vanillalatte Dec 30, 2006 (3:29 pm)
Replying to: ppatrick (Dec 30, 2006 3:11 pm) Hi there...here is the compression psi for your three hiccup highway eater (I have two). A healthy new engine will have 180-195 psi (dry test ) and ( 190-200 ) wet test. Any cylinder having a low pressure reading may have a problem. The difference in pressure readings between wet and dry, on a good motor is about 10-20 psi. If the pressure is higher with a wet test, the rings are probably worn. If the pressure is low, and doesn't come up using a wet test, a valve is probably burnt, or the head gasket may be bad. If 2 cylinders side by side are showing the same pressure reading , it could be a bad head gasket. The lowest acceptable reading should be 170 psi.   Have fun, Vanilla Latte (stable companion to Espresso Nero., both 1/4 of a Ferrari and way cheaper).
