Have someone check the charging system and the battery. You can usually get this done for free. We had continual problems with the lights (brake and battery) on my daughter's 1992 Geo Prism. My husband replaced the alternator but the lights kept coming on so we replaced the battery. The car died one day so we had someone check the charging system. It turned out to be a bad alternator to begin with. My husband put in a new alternator and now it is working fine. This happened to me once, as well. It turns out that I had a bad alternator. Probably a starter going bad. Mine went bad and if I let the engine cool down completely (poured cold water on it and then tapped on the starter with a wrench) it would start up again. As a starter goes bad it won't work when it is hot. Tapping on the starter with the angled crank from the jack in the trunck helped me to make it home until I could get the starter replaced. Similar thing happened to me. Turned out my starter was bad and I replaced it. No problems now in over a year.

What causes a 2000 Chevy Prizm to die after running for a while when it has a new battery and starts fine?
I had a similar problem with my 2000 Chevy Prizm. It would die intermittently, even when moving. The problem was that the onboard computer (ECM?) has a ground wire attached to the engine. When this wire would come loose the onboard computer would shut the engine off. A mechanic refastened the ground wire to the engine and car has been fine ever since. BTW, I suspect that the previous owner of my Prizm was doing some electrical work and did not reattach the above ground wire properly.
Where is the transmission dipstick on a geo prizm?
If it's automatic, it's on the drivers side of the engine towards the battery. It should be easy to spot. Generally on a Geo Prizm it is located on left side of the coolant overflow container. Top of dipstick should be red.
How do you reset the computer after changing the 02 sensor on a 1998 Chevrolet Prizm?
It requires a scanner as the new computors keep history codes. Removing a battery cable will NOT do it.
