To test the ignition coil on a 1991 Geo Storm, first ensure the engine is off and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance across the primary terminals (usually around 0.5 to 1.5 ohms) and secondary terminals (typically 6,000 to 12,000 ohms). If the resistance values are outside these ranges, the coil may be faulty. Finally, reassemble everything and reconnect the battery to check for proper engine operation.

A 1995 Geo Metro ignition coil is tested by measuring the resistance across the coil. If it exceeds the manufacturer's recommendation, it must be replaced.
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.
To test a Geo Storm ignition module, first ensure the vehicle's battery is fully charged and the ignition is off. You can use a multimeter to check the voltage at the ignition module's power input terminal; it should typically read between 12-14 volts when the ignition is on. Next, check for continuity in the ignition coil and the wiring to the module, as well as any ground connections. If the module fails to produce spark or the readings are inconsistent, it may need replacement.
Check the ignition circuit in the Storm. Start by checking the crank position sensor, then the coil pack to find the lack of spark.
The ignition control module in a Geo Storm is typically located near the engine, often mounted on or near the firewall or under the dashboard. It is usually found close to the ignition coil and other engine management components. For precise identification, it's advisable to consult the vehicle's service manual or a repair guide specific to the model year.
try the pickup coil under the dist. cover.

check the pickup coil. that was the prob
The wire in center of distributor cap attaches to coil.
Answer: The ignition timing on a 1990 Geo Storm is 10 degrees BTDC. This applies to both the SOHC and DOHC 1.6L engines.
