Geo Prizm

First try snugging up the oil pan bolts but if that doesn't work you'll have to change the oil pan gasket.

My experience tells me it is a non interference engine and it is unlikely to have damage.

Open your trunk. Remove the black pins in the felt liner and then you'll see the tail light assembly. You can access the bulbs without removing the assembly. Just get the felt liner out of the way.

You you need to remove several small bolts on the lower part of the dashboard on both sides (most are on the bottom by your feet) as well as one inside the glove box to remove the whole dashboard. Take care of the dash vents, the one by left side of the steerling wheel has an insert inside to direct the airflow and there is one located underneath the steerling wheel that is pointed toward your feet. The speakers are located inside sealed boxes that will need to be un-bolted from the car frame to replace the speakers. You shouldn't need to cut any part of the existing grills bult-in to the dashboard to fit most newer model speakers. My speakers still had the factory speaker harnesses attached, so connecting the wires was fast and easy. MAKE sure to color code the wires from the wiring harness by the deck BEFORE you wire up the speakers, the color coding in my car was completely different than the manual or what the wiring kit stated. (PS: the speaker size inside a 1990 is 4" for the front and I used 3 way Autobans w/ a crossover and they fit fine). Putting everything back together the same way you removed it to finish everything off.

I had a 1990, and it was a 5 speed maual. It was sort of simple. first remove tire, then cotter pin in front of large 30mm or so nut. Then remove this nut from end of shaft. Use a large metal bar in between 2 lug nut bolts that is long enough to reach the ground. "lock" the bar in between lug bolts and on the ground then attach ratchet to the bolt and loosen. The bar will stop the shaft from spinning and allow for removal. You then must remove the 3 large bolts from lower control arm to free up strut and make room for the old shaft to pop out. Control arm may need a little banging to loosen up, they also make a tool called a pickle fork to separate it. When that is all freed up use a prybar in between transmission and shaft, there is just enough room to slide the bar in. Give it a good solid "pop" and pry motion to push it outward from transmission. you should hear it pop out. When puttimg new one back in, be sure to line up the little "splines" on the new shaft! DO NOT mash up those little gear threads. When it is lined up nicely, try to give a steady even push back in. You should hear a pop when it is locked in. Then go through the steps backward and throw her back together. Good luck!!!!

A pivot bolt holds a component in place but allows it to rotate about an axis. There is also a locking bolt which keeps the component from rotating. You need to loosen the locking bolt to allow movement. In order to replace the part you remove both the pivot and locking bolts. Common places for a pivot bolt are the alternator and the power steering pump.

The front speakers are 4.75" (yes, a non-standard size) and the rears are 7.0" (you guessed it, another non-standard size). 4.5" aftermarket speakers will fit the front with some additional foam baffling round them to make them air-tight and 5.25" and 6.5" speakers will fit the rear with a Scosche adapter bracket. I have 6.5 inch Pioneer speakers in back. I just screwed the new speakers in the stock mounts and it worked fine.

Trouble code P0116 means: Engine coolant temperature circuit range/performance problem

I dont think it has one. Most older cars dont exept higher priced ones which as you might be aware the geo was not..

Evaporation causes cooling.

Disconnect the ground cable from your battery, remove the bolts holding the old one on and then take the wires loose and put the new one in.

remove top water hose remove four screws frist remove belt from tension spring then need special wrench to turn and pull water pump out

On the thermostat housing drivers side below the head it has a light green wire going to it.

If it's the standard engine, yes. Both the first generation ('89-'92) and second generation ('93-'97) Prizms were powered by the same engine, the 4A-FE, but the option of a more powerful engine was also available to buyers, the 4A-GE engine for the first generation cars and the 7A-FE for the second generation cars.

If your Geo Prizm is stuck in park and will not shift, the transmission is locked up. It will need to be serviced.

what motor do you have? 4a-LC ...43 4a-fe ...44 4a-ge ... step one ...22 step two ...Rotate 90-dgrees step three ..Rotate 90 dgrees

The ignition has been shut off. Be more specific with your questions.

the wet bulb is cooler

How do you replace the timing belt on a 1994 Geo Prizm 1.6?

I HAVE HAD A GEO METRO IN 1 FORM OR ANOTHER SINCE 1987. TO ANSWER THE QUESTION ON ENGINE COMPATIBILITY ANY METRO 3CYL ENGINE FROM 1989 -1997 WILL WORK. I PREFER 1993.5 UP DUE TO A MORE DURABLE TIMEING BELT

The engine VIN code 5 or VIN code 6 is the 8th character of the VIN stamped on the engine or on plate at bottom of drivers-side windshield. Both were OE with platinum-electrode plugs. The ignition and distributor are different between the two engines because the cylinder heads are different. There is the belief that the DOHC distributor can only be ordered from a dealer since the cables are integral to the cap, however this is not true. A replacement model with integral wires is available in the aftermarket.

Applicable to build dates Nov 1989 to end of 1992 production:

Vin 5 indicates the (legendary) Toyota 4A-GE DOHC, 16-valve, MPFI engine. Cylinder head designed by Yamaha. Engine oil cooler mounted behind bumper, in front of A/C condenser. Under hood emissions label or RPO LWO printed on the option sticker identifies this also. Service Manual Supplement specific to the GSi is ST373-yySUPP, where "yy" is the numeric model year.

Vin 6 indicates the Toyota 4A-FE found in Prizm Base and LSi models.

I just changed the speakers in my 01 about a month ago. The speaker covers are mounted "TO" the rear deck. You have to remove the rear deck to change the speakers out. I left the factory covers on, because I wasn't sure I could mount the aftermarket ones back and look good. I believe they were held on with a washer and pop rivot type of setup. Hope this helps

I had this problem some time ago. If I remember correctly, I removed the plastic panel beside the driver's seat to access the mechanism that controls the light. Again, if I remember this correctly, I simply cleaned the "contacts" in this part. I did not purchase any parts. .
