Why would a 1996 Geo Metro have problems while accelerating and will not pick up speed?
----
Perhaps it is because of your large behind IN a Geo Metro?----
Your catalytic converter may be getting stopped up too.
Try changing the fuel & oil filters.
Mine was doing the same thing last summer, the fuel & oil filters were both plugged.
----
Stop trying to drive up walls.

It could be a lot of things. It may be running too rich and bogging down(replace oxygen sensor). The camshaft lobes may be worn down and the valves aren't opening all the way(replace or regrind the cam). The catalytic converter or exhaust pipe could be clogged up with carbon. But keep in mind it is a Geo Metro, economy is the goal here, not performance...
I am having the same problem. Oil and fuel filters have been replaced and now will not accelerate at all. my mechanic says it is acting like an issue with the timing belt but the belt is fine and working properly. The computer diagnostics are fine as well. any ideas
What else can I help you with?
How can you be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed?
Acceleration refers to any change in an object's velocity, which includes changes in speed or direction. It is possible to have a constant speed while still accelerating if the direction of motion changes, for example, when moving in a circle at a constant speed. So, while the speed remains the same, the change in direction constitutes acceleration.
What travels at a constant speed while accelerating?
Anything that moves in a path that's not straight can do that.
How can an object be accelerating while traveling at the same speed?
An object can be accelerating while traveling at the same speed if the direction of its velocity is changing. Even if the speed remains constant, if the object is changing its direction of motion, it is still considered to be accelerating. Acceleration is defined as any change in velocity, which includes changes in both speed and direction.
What is an example of an accelerating object but moves in a constant speed?
An object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is accelerating because its direction of motion is changing. The object is not speeding up or slowing down but is constantly changing its direction, which results in acceleration towards the center of the circle.
Why would a 1993 Chevy Silverado have problems accelerating from being off for a while?
for starters, your fuel filter may be fouled.
How can a car slowing down also be accelerating?
A car can be slowing down while still accelerating if its speed is decreasing but the direction of its velocity is changing. For example, if a car is moving in a curve, its speed may be decreasing but it is still accelerating towards the center of the turn. This is known as centripetal acceleration.
How can you accelerate when your speed does not?
By changing direction. Acceleration is a change in velocity. Since velocity takes direction into account, while speed does not, an object can having a changing velocity even while its speed remains the same. And while that object is changing its velocity by changing its direction, it is accelerating, regardless of its speed remaining constant. For example, if a car is driving north at constant speed of 20mph, its speed is 20mph, while its velocity is 20mph towards the north. At this point, the car is not accelerating. Now if the car turns a corner to head east while maintaining its speed of 20mph, its velocity is changing from 20mph northward to 20mph north-eastward and finally to 20mph eastward. As it is turning, it is accelerating. However, as soon as it stops turning, the car is no longer accelerating.
What can cause the fuel temperature gauge on a 1993 Geo Metro 5-speed to read full and hot while accelerating after replacing the fan switch?
fuel and temperature gauge ? if so both gauges work on completing a ground circuit, ck around for a bad ground, or connection at fan switch
Can you begin accelerating as soon as you can see a sign increasing the speed limit?
The increased speed limit goes into effect AT the speed limit sign, not at any point before that. While you're not likely to get cited for accelerating at a reasonable point before you actually get to the sign, you're still bound by the prior speed limit until you actually reach that sign.
How is it possible for a car to be accelerating if its speed is a steady 65 mph?
The term accelerating means increasing in speed, so if a car holds its speed steady at 65 mph, it is not accelerating. It is still running its engine, to overcome air resistance and other forms of friction, but that is not the same thing as acceleration.
Why would a 1993 Pontiac Grand Prix stall when accelerating?
Fuel injectors I'd assume. I have a fuel injector stuck open on my car and sometimes it stalls while accelerating. Check it out, maybe. These '93's have 100000 problems..
A horse is moving a constant speed of 8ms is the horse accelerating?
A constant speed means that the horse is neither accelerating nor decelearating Speed is a scalar which means it has a magnitude but no direction, while acceleration is a vector so it has both a magnitude and a direction. As the magnitude of the speed remains constant, the speed is constant but since the direction the horse travels in changes that horse is in fact accelerating.
