I've had the same problem with my Geo Storm recently. The car will start and run fine until it gets warmed up then the check engine light will come on and the car will hesitate, the tach will jump wildly and when you pull over, it will stall. When you try to start the car, it will fire intermittently and not start. After sitting for 30 minutes, it will start perfectly fine and run until it gets warmed up again. The computer keeps sending a code 42 (Ignition control module). I've replaced this and still no results. Also replaced the ECM because these models have had some trouble with them. Still no results...same thing. Last step was the ignition coil. So far it seems to be working ok and no problems. One of these components is bad. I recommend going with the coil first since its only about $20, then the ignition control module...about $45 then the computer which runs about $120 for a remanufactured one. I suspect the ignition coil is overheating and breaking down. Also, move the coil farther away from the radiatior hose to eliminate any excess heat caused by the hot coolant. If my car acts up again its going to the junk yard after these fixes. The car is just not worth the headaches. Other: Check the Idle air control valve. I've Got a 90 Lincoln Town Car that was acting this way. I removed the IAC, cleaned it with brake cleaner and now the car runs much, much better. I do not know if the geo has this, or where it is, but it should. (I'm trying to figure out why my sister's geo won't start right now.)

How do you name a storm as boy or girl name?

There is an order to how storms are named. I am not sure how the exact name is picked, but I do know that every season the names begin with "A" all over again. Every other storm is a boy's name and every other storm is a girl's name. There is always one boy's name and one girl's name for every letter. Here is an example: storm 1: Andrew storm 2: Andrea storm 3:Brendan storm 4: Brenda storm 5: Christian storm 6: Christina and so on.....
