#1142 of 1322 Re: Another '95 Geo Prism Mystery [cralya] by giovanna145 Aug 03, 2007 (4:41 am)
Replying to: cralya (Mar 22, 2006 9:57 am) Crayla, Did you ever get this problem completely resolved? I just bought a 95 Prizm with 90K miles with the same problem. I took it to a mechanic and he couldn't find the problem. He suggested I take it to a muffler shop and have them check the exhaust lines for any blockage as the problem only starts when the car is warmed up. He also suggested me having the fuel pressure checked. Any advised would be appreciated. Thanks.

Replying to: califgeo (Jul 22, 2007 10:30 am) Wire fan directly to the battery. If it still stops & starts replace the fan motor. If in runs fine. It is in the wiring. It could be a therimal switch.

Replying to: selinamvasq (Aug 06, 2007 2:26 pm) Check exhaust manifold for a crack. Just pull the little sliver cover & you will see if it is cracked. If so they run about $60 to $90. They crack right around 70 to 100k

Replying to: kickapoo (Aug 07, 2007 4:31 am) For those with Prizm's at 150,000+ miles, I'm curious: what major repairs did ya'll have done after that point or parts have you had replaced? Replies to this message: cob (Aug 07, 2007 5:02 pm) kickapoo (Aug 12, 2007 1:43 am)

Replying to: ruddneck (Aug 07, 2007 2:37 pm) 1994 with 180000+, I have only owned it for 4 months but the converter was previously replaced with a test pipe, the exhaust manifold was cracked so I replaced with junkyard part. Passenger side front strut was so rusted that the bottom cup holding the spring was bent down and rubbing on the tire, another junkyard replaced part. Speedometer was intermittantly not working so replaced gauge cluster with used one car now had only 108000 miles. Note: the gauge cluster from a Toyota Corolla with a tach does not fit the Prism dash even though they have the same wire harness connectors. Previous used alternator failed so found another one at the junkyard. So far paid $300 for car and $200 for junkyard parts $500 total investment and the a/c still blows cold air.
#1149 of 1322 1999 AUTOMATIC CHEV. PRIZM. GOOD CAR? by shartson Aug 08, 2007 (11:07 am)
I'm looking at buying a prizm, with 73,000 miles on it. I've done a lot of reading on this car and it seems to have an excellent reputation. Any reasons NOT to get the car? Any advice on a Chev Metro? Advice needed desperately! Replies to this message: kaos86 (Nov 14, 2007 1:10 pm)
