I bought a 98 prizm and I just cant find how to adjust the side mirrors. They have no knobs, instead there's just a little whole, it doesnt seem forced or anything it looks like they have always been like no-knobs mirrors. Then someone told me they were probably electric, we looked for the remote but couldnt find it. I could force them manually, but they are actually really hard to adjust in that way. So, anyone knows where's the remote or how can i adjust them???? Thanks a lot |

About a month ago took my fiance's prism to firestone to get oil changed...they said strut mounts were completely broken and they wouldn't be able to do it without replacing them...we didn't have money to do it then so we didn't get it done..What I am wondering is if the strut mounts can be broken but not the struts? Because it says nothing about the struts on this paperwork and am trying to get a price quote on what its going to take to fix.

My son has a 93 Geo Prizm with 188,150 miles on it. The car will not go back to low gear unless you physically pull it back to low. After accelerating in low and you shift it to second it sounds like it jumps over second and goes into third. No power after it shifts and while pulling in third it jumps or hesitates like it's out of time and then once it gets above 40 mph it will go on like there's nothing wrong. Above 40 it does fine. Also it started to do this bumping and the engine check light will flash once when it does it,like it was missing on one cylinder, mostly at highway speeds, but does it at lower speeds too. Yesterday it did this right after coming off the highway and the light stayed on and the car lost about half it's pulling power. I drove it on to where I was going and shut it off. When I came back out to the car and started it, the light was out again and it was running normal again. Could this be caused by a bad oxygen sensor? I had a Buick that acted this way one time and that was what was wrong with it.  |

Replying to: unknown (Dec 26, 2006 9:18 am) I have the Chevy manual for the 2000 prizm and ran through the various diagnostic tests myself, but was never able to come to a conclusion. While at the Toyota shop, I looked at the corresponding Toyota manual for the 2000 Corolla and it was much more insightful. It gave a specific test for determining if the MAF was functioning at appropriate values. |

| Thanks for the info. I will check it out and see what I can come up with. It also has some exast noise coming from under the hood when excelerating. I think that is the exast oxygen sensor. Thanks again. | |

I am helping a friend out with her 2002 Chevy Prizm. She lost the owners manual, and we are trying to figure out how to change the time on the radio.

| Just bought my first car, 93 geo prizm and am loving it, its a LSi, 85K miles bought it for 2000. manual with alloy wheels, does have a few lil things here and there but overall im loving it especially witht he corolla engine, nice reving engine, decent power, looks nice, classy interior for its time, handling is amazing for what it is, took a few turns at 90, loooong sweeping turns and it stuck to the road. did the top speed at 115 till fuel cut off, got threr pretty quick. some problems with it, driver side mirror is a little loose and almost comes off, need to tighten the screws, drum brakes are rusted, need to do something about that, also has ABS equipped | |
| are there any other geo prizm forums which might have a little more life than this lol | |

my in law has a 91 prism and is having weird starting problems 2. it decides when to start and when not to. have had batt. cable replaced and new starter after another put in. Has had new alt and belts and still will only start every now and again. has had new ignition put in to but always does the same thing. The mechanics are as dumbfounded as we are. They keep replacing and the car still acts as it has a mind of its own. We tryed to start it the other day and it wouldnt start. Went to try again in 10 mins and it started without any trouble. Took it to resturraunt in town just a few miles away and wouldnt crank at all and is still in shop trying to figure it out. This car has been very well maintained but yet it acts as though it has a mind of its own...Any help would be greatly appreciated for I am at roads end with it

A few weeks ago my 98 Chevy Prizm decided to think it was still on while the key isn't in the ignition. All the exterior lights stay on, oil light comes on, seat belt light flashes at me when seat belt isn't buckled, the wipers work, the air works, & the digitally displayed odometer stays on. At some points when I play with my wipers or turning signals while the car is supposed to be off the odometer arrow moves up & down like the car is accelerating. Since this problem occurred I've replaced my battery which was the original battery & have replaced blown fuses. None of which has fixed the problem. Anyone have any idea what is going on with my car? I've gotten suggestions but I'd like some more with a little insight as to why, out of the blue, this would happen. |
