How to troubleshoot 1997 Chevy Geo Metro it has no power to heater blower or air conditioner compressor flat visual fuses good the black four prong one inch rectangular under hood not sure what next?

If the blower motor is not running on either heat or cool, then the motor may be bad. Also the blower motor has a fuse. Another possibility is a defective blower motor resistor pack. Are you sure the compressor is not working and not just the blower motor? "Wirewilly" Here I repeat Fuses have been checked both under the drver side dash and left side under engine hood. Four prong relays how do you resistance check those? Yes the blower and compressor are not receiving voltage! When i first discovered the problem I thought bad blower motor so i tap on the motor like many no good GM electric recent 12 volt motors too see if it would free up, then took a voltage reading its dead no incoming volts for the blower or the compressor causing it not engage!So it should be a related electronic controling device for both A/C and heater! The best way to check a 4 prong fuse is to just substitute a known good one. I would suspect your blower motor problem is the resistor pack, although the switch itself could also be bad. A bad switch would account for no voltage at the compressor. See if you have voltage going to the resistor pack. If so the pack is bad. Good luck.

How do I change A 1996 Geo Metro cv shaft?

You will need to remove the axle nut and a pickle fork to separate the ball joints. I think you have to unbolt the strut and swing the assy out of the way. Then you can unbold the axle and replace it. There are probably some minor details I've forgotten as its been a while.

Most are held on with a c shaped clip. Push in on the door panel & look under the base. Pushing on the ends simultaneously will cause it to go flying.

Where is the wiper fuse located on a 1997 Geo Metro LSi?

It should be located in your fuse box. Most likely the fuse box is under the drivers side dash on the left side or down on the drivers side kick panel. When you remove the cover, it should be labeled as to which fuse is for which component.

If the starter is causing a 1993 Geo Metro to only stat when it is push started in second gear where is the starter located and how do you repair it?

The starter on a 93 Geo Metro is located on the back side or firewall side of the engine. The battery will need to be disconnected and the cables removed from the solenoid and then the two bolts holding the starter to the engine can be removed. When installing the starter make the battery connection the last thing you do.

92 Geo Metro cranks and wont start?

There are a lot of reasons why an engine might not start. You may need to be a bit more specific in your question. I also don't know your technical expertise level. But here are some obvious places to start:

1. Does it have gas? (Check the gauge, listen for the fuel pump etc. check the fuel pump fuse.)

2. Is the engine mechanically sound? (Check compression, open the oil cap or remove the distributor cap and see if the camshaft is going up and down etc.)

3. Check the engine service light. If it is on find out what the computer thinks is wrong and fix it.

4. Check to see if the ignition system is working. BTW don't just pull a spark plug wire. This can wreck the electronics. I would pull a spark plug and make sure it is properly grounded before checking for spark.

If none of these tests help chances are there is something more seriously wrong with your engine, and you may need to get a mechanic to check it.

How do you remove a broken woodruff key on the crankshaft of a 1995 Geo Metro?

If the crank shaft is in the engine and if the engine is in the car I would put the car up on jack stands ( for safety). Remove the water pump pulley. That will allow you to remove the v-belt easily. Remove the plastic mud shield on the passenger side of the engine. Then remove the crankshaft pulley ( it is probably already off and you are working on the woodruff key that was indexing the crank pully). Make sure that you rotate the engine such that the key is pointing down. Be sure that you stuff a rag in around the snout of the crankshaft such that when the key breaks out of the keyway it cannot fall into the oil pan. The way I have gotten stubborn keys out of keyways was to go after them with a small hammer and punch. I try to worm the punch under the key which will lift the end of the key and make it easier to grasp and remove. Frankly I have never failed to get a key out of a keyway. Generally they are only a slight interference fit.

Can you swap an instrument cluster in 94 geo metro with another cluster that is equiped with a tach?

There are some rare LSI convertable models that have a tach. That cluster will go straight into the base model Metro 89-94. All of the connectors were already in place so all I had to do was simply connect them.

Where is located the fuel pressure regulator on a 1997 geo metro 1.3 L?

the fuel press regulator is a non adjustable component in the front of the throttle body. it will normally not fail in less than 200,000 miles. If it is suspect in a no start condition, I would examine a consistent fuel press with a pressure tester setup. If you turn the key on and hear the pump in the tank buzz up, then you know the pump works. fuel press is initially quite high (25-40psi). A fuel filter failure will normally not cause a no-start. pressure will leak by and allow it to start. It just won't run well under hi load conditions. A no start condition is very likely a fuel injector failure. I've had 2 fuel injector failures. took me a week of trial and error to finalize the diagnosis. the first replacement was from a junkyard and it lasted 7 months. The sympton was that it allowed me to start and run but would quit during use and strand me on the side of road. Later (couple hours) it would start and might run for days or minutes but again would fail while driving. Intermittent problems are toughest to solve. Each time I replaced something it would start right up and I'm like "great, problem solved". Then 2 days later, bam, I'm stranded again.

How do you test the ignition coil on your 1994 Geo Metro?

Disconnect the distributor cap end of the coil wire and attach to an ignition tester. Attach the ignition tester to a good ground, away from any fuel lines. A good spark tester can be made from an old spark plug gapped to 0.200". Crank the engine and observe the tester for spark. If a crisp blue spark is noticed, the ignition coil is working properly. If a pale yellow spark, or no spark, is noticed, the coil is more than likely bad.

How do you replace the clutch in a 96 Geo Metro?

It is not an hard job and can easily be done in less than a day by an amatuer. But if you have to ask how you need to get the manual for the car as there are quite a number of steps.

=================================================

I agree that you should have a manual close by for reference, but in its absence, here's the procedure I wrote down last time I changed my clutch.

Prep work:

Jack up the front of the car and support with jackstands

Drain the radiator

Drain the transaxle

Remove the following from above:

battery and battery tray

air filter assembly

3 hoses attached to water pipe (don't lose the clamps)

water pipe - 10mm - (one bolt is almost hidden up top)

negative ground on transaxle - 12mm

various wiring connections

speedometer

clutch cable

starter - 12mm - 2 bolts (don't lose the shim)

Remove the following from below:

shifter lever & support rod from transaxle - 12mm & 14mm

left (driver) A-arm bolt

use prybar to force A-arm down so wheel pulls away (don't destroy your ball joint boot)

prybar half-axle out of transaxle (you'll feel it pop, then slide out)

Support the engine - jackstand + wood blocks work (don't damage the oil pan)

Support the transaxle with jack

Remove flywheel cover plate between engine and bell housing - 12mm

Remove transaxle-to-engine bolts - 14mm

Remove transaxle mount (to frame) bolts - 14mm

Separate transaxle from engine

prybar is ok, but don't force too hard

if they don't come apart easily, adjust the angle using the jack

** At any time after separation, handling the clutch lever may cause the throwout bearing to jump out

Use prybar to 'pop' passenger half-axle from transaxle

Lower transaxle out of the way

Remove clutch pressure plate and disc - 12mm

Remove flywheel - easiest to counter the rotation with a socket on the opposite side of engine (nut inside center pulley)

Have the flywheel resurfaced - about $40 at any reputable machine shop

** This is important if flywheel has discolored "hot spots", failure to do so may cause your new clutch to get chattery and fail early

The new clutch kit will come with a pilot bearing (center of flywheel) and a throwout bearing (inside transaxle on shaft).

If you ask nicely, your machinist may replace the pilot bearing for you while he's got the flywheel

Can a crankshaft bend 93 GEO with a 1.0L engine The balancer has a bad wobble even after removing the pulley.?

your balancer is bad. balancers are in two peices pressed together by a thin layer of rubber in between the two .

How much horse power does a Geo Metro have?

How do you hook up a tachometer to check the idle on a 1994 Geo metro Also what is the idle speed supose to be?

Most auto parts stores have inductive input tachometers (one side snaps over a spark plug wire, the other to chasis ground) that do a pretty good job for routine tune-up work. Your idle speed will depend upon the type of transmission, emissions system requirements, etc. The idle speed should be listed on a sticker on the underside of the hood of your vehicle.

What valve compressor tool to use for a Geo Metro G10 engine 3 cyl SOHC and where to purchase it?

Make a folcrum or use a "C" clamp: take a 1" piece of copper pipe 4" long, cut 2 slots (1/2" wide 180 degrees from each other)on one end.

Geo not getting gas to carburetor what could be wrong on a 1997 Geo Metro 4-cylinderinder?

i would first check @ inlet line to carb, loosen this & have someone turn the engine over to see if there is a sufficient amount of gas to this point, if so then the probable cause would be the injector. if no gas to inlet line to carb, first check the fuel filter located somewhere

near the fuel tank, this will be a lg round type filter, if filter isnt plugged or

dirty, then the fuel pump probably is bad P.S. THE INJECTOR IS LOCATED IN CENTER OF CARB UNDER A COVER, THERE WILL BE 2 WIRES COMING OUT FROM THIS. P.S.S THIS IS FROM EXPERIENCE, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM I KNOW THAT THE 3 & 4 CYL INJECTORS ARE THE SAME BECAUSE I USED ONE FROM A 3CYL ON MY 4CYL, {THE NUMBERS ON THE INJECTORS WERE THE SAME}

Where is the EGR valve located on a 1994 Geo Metro XFI?

This is ussually located on back side of the motor facing the firewall, and closer to the intake than the bottom of motor. Also, you should have some type of vaccumm line running to it as well. Follow your vacuum lines to that side of motor.
