check and see if your thermostat is stuck open(top of engine block). depending where you live, water could be slushy or frozen in your engine.
How to replace antenna on 1994 Geo Prism?
Just did it... You have to buy an exact OEM replacement. Unscrew the antenna unit by removing the two screws. Pull out the remaining metal antenna and the wire. A plastic tube that houses the antenna will need to be removed. I was unable to remove the antenna cable as it is clipped behind the dash. I cut the wire leaving about 6 inches remaining above the roof of the car. Remove the inside trim along the top of the driverside door, all the way to the fron window. Additionally, remove the small trim piece along the edge of the door beside the drivers side dash. With the new antenna unit, begin to thread the antenna cable through the existing roof opening along-side the original cable that remains. As you thread the cable through the body, take notice of a hole in the body on the inside of the car above the drivers side door. You should see the new cable pass by the hole. Pull the cable through the hole.(I had to enlarge the hole to accomodate the plug that attaches to the radio. I used a dremel tool with a grinding bit to slightly enlarge the hole.) Once you get the antenna cable through the hole, pass the metal antenna and cable through the hole in the roof until you can mount the antenna housing to the roof using the two screws. Run the cable under the door trim and down under the dash. Make sure the new cable does not interfere with your steering wheel or and thnig else. I hope this helps you. I would have loved to see this before taking on this project. I just replaced the antenna on my 1994 Geo Prism and found that only one piece of trim needed to be removed. It is the piece with the fuse box door on the inside drivers side. Once you have it removed you have access to a plug and cable that runs from the antenna to the radio. Unplug the antenna remove the screws on the outside, pull the old antenna and cable out,put the new antenna and cable in, plug it into the cable running to the radio, replace the screws and trim, job done! I followed above answer with one modificarion. Only had to remove fusebox molding. Unscrew antenna from roof.cut antenna wire and leave as much as possible. Pulled out clear plastic piece. Taped end of new antenna wire to end I cut off old antenna wire. Pulled new wire thru and connected to wire that goes to redio. No grinding.
What happens when the neutral safety switch fails?
By taking it off and testing it for resistance with a digital multimeter.
All the neutral safety switch does is ensure the vehicle will not crank with the key in any other gear position than neutral or park. If you need to start the vehicle before figuring this out, ensure the vehicle is in park (you should also put the parking brake on). Turn your wheels all the way to the left, and put your key in the ON/ACC position. Look under the hood, and you should see where the starter is (in front of the flywheel, typically on the right side of the vehicle). You'll see some posts coming out of the starter with wires attached to them. Use a cable - such as a starter cable or test lead - to apply power to the small post. Be careful to ensure that the cable, your clothing, or any of your body parts are clear of all moving objects before doing this. You can start the vehicle this way, and it will run so long as the key remains in the on position.
How do you remove the dashboard console in a 1995 Geo Prizm to replace the radio?
You have to get a flathead screwdriver and pop it out from above the air conditioner console all the way to the bottom underneath the tray and cigarette lighter. Make sure you unplug the cables from your hazard light (Behind the button with the three red triangles). If you buy a car stereo for your prizm make sure you get the headunit kit for 20 bucks so it fits it will come with a booklet that shows the part of the dash you have to take off. This applies to any geo prizm from 93-97. Also randomness...... back speakers are 6 1/2 inch front are like 4's but I don't think you can buy 4's so get 5.25's and drill new holes.
How do you replace the radio in a 1996 Geo Prism?
First Your Gonna Remove The Dash Trim Molding, Than Remove I Belive Its 3 Screws (One Is Hidden Under The Stereo Itself) From The Stereo Bracket, Pull Out The Stereo, Unclip The Power Dissconnect, And Unplug The Antenna. If You Wanna Reuse The Bracket There Are A Few Screws Holding The Bracket To The Stereo. If You Are Gonna Install An Aftermarket Stereo, Youll Need To Go Buy A Stereo Mounting Kit At Where You Buy The Unit. You'll Also Need To Buy An Antenna Extension. If You Dont Want To Spend The Extra Cash To Get The Adapter For The Power/Speaker Wiring, You Can Go To The12voltdc.com And You Can Find A Wiring Diagram For The Speakers, And The Power Wires. Pretty Much Install Is The Same As Reverse. If Ya Need Any More Help, Email Me At ss101504@yahoo.com.

How do you change the clutch in a 1995 geo prizm?
hire a mechanic! Or if your mechanically inclined here's a brief overview. be forewarned this took me 20 hours with a helper who performed three clutch replacements.Your primary goal is to remove the transmission because the clutch is located between the transmission and the engine block.
Remove the air filter housing, radiator hoses, clutch slave cylinder, vehicle speed sensor, starter, and axle. disconnect any electrical connections on the transmission and also the shifter cable linkage. disconnect the exhaust pipe at the gasket near the bottom of the radiator, and also a bracket near the sub frame. the exhaust blocks access to two of the three engine mounts that you need to remove. first support the engine from above then remove the following engine mounts: first location is under the air filter housing, second is near the bottom of the radiator near the center engine support, third is at the intersection of the exhaust, center engine support, and sub frame. the sub frame must be lowered slightly to remove the engine mount. all the bolts for sub frame are huge and high torque so an impact wrench is highly recommended.
At this time the engine should be fairly loose and you should have access to the transmission. there are three bolts that thread into the transmission bell housing side and four that thread in from the rear of the engine block. remove all. a jack should be used to support the weight of the transmission as you drop it and slide it out from the drivers side of vehicle.
Behold - the clutch! (which will be on the engine ) replace the worn clutch and reassemble everything in reverse. Be sure to replace all your fluids and to bleed the clutch line to the slave cylinder. HAVE FUN!!!
How do you change the time on the clock in a 2001 prizm?

How do you change a brake light in a 1995 Geo Prizm?
remove the 2 bolts on the outside of the lense then pull the assembly out.
They refract light as the light enters through one side of the prism, at a certain angle, the glass that the prism is made of, decreases the speed of light. And so it bends. Then it hits the other face and emerges out, and that is when the dispersion happens and the white light splits into the spectrum of seven colours
What sound does an off balance tire make?
You wont hear much of a sound, but more of a vibration at certain speeds. I recently installed a set of tires on my truck and because of an inbalance, around 70mph the truck would start to shake. Once I had it corrected it was smooth sailing.

The engin light is on and it is running lean on a 2001 Chevrolet prizm?
probably an o2 sensor go to a shop or advance and have the light checked
I recomend you turn off the car completely with the key off the ignition. Front speakers can be accesed by pulling off the door panel in most cases and taking off a couple of screws holding the speakers onto the panel. The panel itself might be screwed onto the door using a screw around the opening handle and sometimes more screws towards the bottom. Be careful never to yank any wires as you pull the panels and speakers off the car! Rear speakers can be accessed from the rear seat towards the rear windshield and on some models from the trunk. The speakers are being held again by a couple of screws. Mostly, you cannot install bigger than factory size speakers because the fitment on the doors and the rear trunk area just will not let the larger speakers sit comfortably to where you can put the fastening screws back on. Good luck.
