Check the ignition circuit in the Storm. Start by checking the crank position sensor, then the coil pack to find the lack of spark.
just bought a 1993 geo that when you put in reverse it will not run or start after words we have tried many things but no luck what could it be
check the pickup coil. that was the prob

Remove it an drop it into a pan of boiling water to see if it opens
Engines need fuel, compression and spark to run. You believe you have fuel so check for spark next. A faulty crank sensor could be one reason you have no spark. If you have spark, have a compression test done. The timing chain/belt may have broken if you have no compression.
A 97 Geo Metro that cranks but gets no spark is not getting enough power to the ignition coil or the coil itself is bad. The coil use the 12 volts of power provided by the battery and alternator to generate a very powerful spark.
Did it run before?
If you have no spark, you would likely have a problem with the magnito (ignition).
fuel filter... or throttle body
Ignition Control Module.
Basic first step diagnostics: Check for spark, check for gas then figure out (usually by tracing backwards) why you are not getting it (spark/gas).
It should. To better check, go to local parts store and check the Haines Manual...is should be for both Geo Metro and Geo Storm, just check that is bolts up the same.

Do you have spark? If you do, check your cam/crank timing marks to ensure the spark is when the piston is TDC (top dead center).
starting from left to right on spark plugs you have 1234 1 goes to 1 - 2 goes to 4 on distrubitor -3 goes to 2 - and4 goes to 3
