#1089 of 1696 Re: TIMING HELP PLEASE??? [numbutt1] by whitetop Jan 28, 2007 (4:48 pm)
Replying to: numbutt1 (Jan 18, 2007 7:42 am) You may already be done with this job, but in case you're not, the plug looks like: A B C                           D E F   You jump D and E in order to set the timing. Be sure your warm idle speed is according to specs before you set the timing. I always have to dial mine down because I keep it a little higher to settle down the rough idle.
#1090 of 1696 Alternator 94 geo metro "2" first number on vin by ggeeoo Jan 28, 2007 (9:06 pm)
Got a 114,000 mile mitubishi alternator OE from a 1993 geo metro and it fit the 1994 fine. The bracket broke which caused all the 7 years of belt noise prem belt wear final death of the second. So check the bracket easily removed from under the car passenger side of car. The bolts that hold it were loose I suspect this is cronic with Geo maybe lock washers would help. I got alternator bench tested for free at pepboys. Just a note that 1 800- pepboys will tow to a pepboys and rebate the fee if they do the work they will in the OC take a used part and RR it for you.

Replying to: garthman63 (Jan 28, 2007 8:34 am) Good morning Garth, Congratulations on your wise recognition of great, smart, cost effective transportation of the future (here now!) The Metro! On your engine question, I may be the wrong guy to ask. When an engine get's worn, I just love to do the overhaule myself. I get the cylinder head re-done by a shop usually, but on my corvair I did them myself (Corvair??) (Yes!) Metro only has (well mine anyway) 3 cylinders to re-ring and hone but I would do my own overhaul. That way you KNOW it's done correctly. I've heard about JDM engines (Japanese Domestic Market) or engine exchange buisnesses (Jasper) Google a few of these, see what looks OK to your wallet. Your a good man for recognizing the Metro as a "keeper" DangerDude.
#1092 of 1696 Window Regulator by c140flyer Jan 31, 2007 (7:12 pm)
Hi Folks, I recently bought a 1996 Geo Metro with 51,000 mi. One of the only problems I have with the car is with the window mechanisms. The drivers window "hops" as it moves in the track and the passenger window crank takes considerable force to move. I've heard that the window regulators are a weak point on these cars. They also seem to be hard to find. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Larry Replies to this message: stan_top_down (Feb 05, 2007 10:35 am)
#1093 of 1696 How to read error codes on a 1994 by dartswinger Feb 01, 2007 (6:00 pm)
I would like to know how to get the engine codes out of a 1994 geo metro xfi. I have an engine light that is on, need some help. I've plugged an obd i connector into this block socket underneath the instrument panel but no flashing codes.   Also what should the compression be on the cylinders. When I bought the car they all were around 140 psi. The car runs good and gets good mileage just trying to sort through it.   Sincerely,   Brian L. Smith   you can email me at dartswingerdartyahoo.com. Feel free to leave your telephone number if you want and I can call you. I know my way around a lot of cars but metros are new to me.

Replying to: dartswinger (Feb 01, 2007 6:00 pm) Have your owners manual? My geo has a slot in the fuse box that is raised about 1/8 inch higher than the rest, if you put a fuse in this hole it will start to flash your engine codes on the check engine light. My problem was the previous owner left the fuse in and it was giving me the code for ok\normal, I found the code in the owners manual. All I had to do was pull the fuse back out and my light went off. My driver is a 1990 but my 92 parts car looks like it has the same.   Hope this helps.   Smoke   p.s. they dont like it when you put your email address in your posts, anyone could use it for anything now.
#1095 of 1696 1993 Geo at Pick your Part Anahiem ca by ggeeoo Feb 02, 2007 (7:40 pm)
Google Pick your Part in your area.   The have geo to recycle. Your regulator needs grease. Get a plastic screw lever. Now take big screw driver and push back the plastic washer in back of door crank have a friend shine a light or a penlight in your mouth if you have no friends. Now look for a shiny clip with the plastic screw lever remove the clip with it's claw. Now use the plastic screw claw to remove the six push screws from door. Remove the door panel. Carefully remove plastic weather seal so you can reattach it later . Grease and wd 40 all gears you can see. Silicone glue the glass to channel in a few places if it is loose. That should do it.

#1098 of 1696 Low gas mileage on 1996 Metro? by yvex Feb 02, 2007 (11:44 pm)
I have a 1996 Geo Metro LSi, 1.3 liter engine. I bought the car in a very good condition, however recently I've noticed that I'm getting about 18-20 MPG instead of advertised 35... I'm putting in 6 galons of gas and every 100-120 miles.   The transmission fluid is kinda brownish even after 2 flushes.   Sometimes the car seems to be very sluggish in acceleration, other times it goes very fast.   I've changed the spark plugs to E3 and replaced the air filter with the K&N one. Could this be the cause?   I would be very grateful if I receive some suggestions, as taking the car to the mechanic for a complete checkup would cost ridiculous amounts of money Replies to this message: ggeeoo (Mar 27, 2007 3:33 pm)
