dude...change the ecm and get it over with
Depends on the motor, 4cyl or V6, but it could be the ignition module, or the crank sensor
the ignition control module could be the problem
if you're getting fuel to the throttle body it could be the ignition module if your getting fuel this is more than likely the problem, it could be coil pack if not getting any spark from any of your plug wires if your not getting fuel or spark at the same time i believe it may be your control module if control module is out u wont get fuel or fire my 89 is getting fuel but no sspark and i was told it was my ignition module auto zone knew exactly what my problem was try calling them they can also test your ignition module before u spend money on one if its not the ignition module
Check the exhaust ignition interface. It could be a simple problem in the core module defribilator.
probably ignition control module failure
Have the ignition module in distributor checked.... could solve your problem (it solved mine!!)
Could be ignition module
It could be the wire, or bad ignition coil or just your plug are not gapped. The worst case is that the ignition control module is bad, but they are all easy to change
The problem could be the absence of fuel or spark. If you floor the accelerator and the engine dies quickly, that's a fuel problem. Black smoke from the pipe when the engine stops is an indication of lack of spark or fuel.
Try the ignition control module. Had the same problem with mine $36 part fixed it. The ignition control module is in the distributor and so is the pickup coil, but the ignition coil is by the battery. There is a spark test that can be done. If it was already done and couldn't see a spark, then it could be the ignition coil it self , the ignition wire, or any possible electrical connections.
An ignition module problem could be the cause of your 89 Geo Spectrum not starting and not getting any fire. It could also be the pickup coil causing the problem.
Sounds like your electronic control module is going bad
