Why would a 1990 Geo Prizm be very hard to start when the engine is cold but start fine when the engine is hot?

You probably need a new set of plug wires. If the ones on it are original, they are probably breaking down and have a lot of resistance as opposed to a new set.

What is the difference between 1991 geo prizm and a 1991 geo prizm gsi?

The main difference is the engine. While both versions use 1.6liter Toyota Engines, the GSI is a DOHC engine, a version of the 4-AGE engine used in the 1st generation MR2 and the top of the line Corollas, and JDM Sprinters of the 80's. known for high revs and being a blast to drive. I had an 87 mr2, got 35MPG and ran like a go cart!! The interesting thing is that this is the highest HP version of the 4-AGE that was ever released in America, at 130hp, MR2/Corolla versions were 116hp, (japanese 20valve version makes like 170ish?), and it is not in a toyota, it is in a GEO who would think? The Corolla and MR2 stopped using this engine in 89, but the GEO kept it going another 3 years. Cool car, I hear it is quick, especially with the 5spd, and I have been lokoing for one, but they are rare.

What cause a humming noise in a 94 geo prizm?

Depending on where the sound is coming from, it may be your fuel pump. Sometimes they are noisy.

94 Geo Prizm clutch going out Car dies when stopped has to be restarted Died at stop today and when went to start just made clicking noise Lights radio working has new starter and alt in last 6 mos?

I just had the same thing happen with my Nissan. Your car died because your battery is bad. The clicking sound is also because your battery is bad most likely. It could be your starter, but always start with the cheap and easy fixes before moving on. If it's not you battery it is either you starter or your ignition.

What should you do if the brake lights on your 94 Geo Prizm do not work?

If neither one is working, the first thing to check is your fuse. If the fuse is okay, replace the bulbs and if that doesn't work, it's probably the brake light switch. The switch is the least likely culprit though because they rarely go bad.

What would make a 1993 geo prisim just die and not start cranks but wont start?

If an engine has:

* compression * fuel * ignition spark

delivered in the right quantities and at the right time while the engine is being "cranked" by the starter motor, it will start. Your problem now is to find out which isn't working right.

I always suggest starting fluid to help isolate the problem

What model years are interchangeable with a 95-96 Geo Tracker gauge assembly?

95-97 I believe. I've had mine replaced (specially built) and it went bad again. Personally I think it had to do with the mechanic more than the parts..bought another one off eBay for about $125. Apparently they don't make them anymore. :(

What is the order for a 1994 geo prizm 1.6L engine distributor cap?

Answer

1. The firing order for the 1.6L is 1-3-4-2.

2. Looking from the front of the car the cylinder order is 1-2-3-4 from left to right.

Your distributor cap will probably have the numbers on the wire location. If not look at the distributor cap from the driver side.

Number 1: Top right

Number 3: Top left

Number 4: Lower left

Number 2: Lower right

It is always recommended to replace one plug wire at a time to prevent connecting in the improper location.

How many odometer miles can i get on an average 1995 geo prizm?

This is a very subjective question since it will depend on the your maintenance and operating conditions. My 1994 Prizm (1.6L) is on the west coast and I have 150k miles on it. I change my oil about every 4000 miles and I have had to replace the clutch (once at 60k, kind of low mileage), alternator (80k), water pump inlet hose (140k), clutch master cylinder (twice), brake master cylinder (80k) and timing belt (86k, a bit too long, coming up on another one). I also replaced the water pump (140k), thermostat, starter (110k), headlight bulbs, radiator hoses, drive belts, spark plug wires, spark plugs, distributor cap & rotor, and fuel filter as preventive maintenance. I also installed a new stereo and replaced the rear speakers. I did all of the changes myself except the clutch replacement and timing belt. I am still on the original set of brake shoes and pads.

I get between 33-36 mpg highway and I am well under the smog test limits.

Where is a 1991 four door Geo Metro made?

i would imagine, seeing that most GEO's made before 1996 were manufactured in Japan, that your's is probably a Japanese vehicle. my 1995 2-door hatchback was made there; i found this out by popping open the hood and seeing the "Made in Japan" sticker next to the engine diagram in there.....

ANSWER

What size speakers fit a Geo Tracker and where are they located?

HI, Four inch (4") is the standard speaker that is fit there now but a five and a half (5 1/2") will fit also, a little cutting of the fiberboard is necessary and when it comes to putting the panel back on, you'll need to open the hole and use a new speaker cover because the holes that are there are for the four inch (4") that's in there. There are a few very good four inch (4") speakers out there, check at Crutchfield and then if money is no object, then CDT Audio. You could use component type speakers and mount the tweeter high, it's just more work. Hope this helps. Good luck. Steve H.
