I just had my 91 sprint (geo Metro) engine rebuilt about 1000 mi ago.

After a while, I noticed that my fuel milage was decreasing, and the power( what little there is to start with) as ebbing, until I could not even get top 50 mph.

Now it will not start at all, only sputters on cold startup. I believe that it is getting far too mych fuel.

I have replaced the fuel filter, plugs wires cap rotor, and o2 sensor, as well as checked the exhaust freedom of flow.

The tps and MAP sensor are functioning, as far as i can tell.

Any suggestions out there....all help greatly appreciated!

Phil

Good guess is your computer has gone faulty. That was my problem with a 1992 Geo Metro 1.0 Liter.

I say it's a tranny problem Scotty Kilmer from Scottykilmer.com told me that the trannies are notoriously weak. My guess is it's giving out. Here's Scotty's response to me.

"You can just replace the torque converter and it might solve your problem. BUT, from my experience with those Geos, the trannies are just pretty weak and yours is probably just on its last legs. Rebuilding them costs a lot of money to do correctly, and most junk yard units will be not much better than what you have now. IF you could find a used tranny that came from Japan (people like Unitex import them) and have that installed if the torque converter didn't fix it.

P.S. please tell all your friends about my www.scottykilmer.com website and always ask me questions directly from my site. Don't directly e mail me from your computer, try to always e mail me from the site as I need lots of hits to keep my sponsors happy so I can continue on helping people. A direct e mail doesn't help my hits out, the e mail has to come from one of the "e mail Scotty" sections of my website. And be sure to tell all your friends about my website.

Thanks, Scotty Kilmer"
