Throttle Sensor I am trying to find the throttle senser on a 1992 Geo Storm GSI. I think that it is causing the car to run at 2000 rpm when stopping at a red light. The idle will come down after about 1 minute.

    I have a 92 Geo Storm and have changed the IAC valve. It has made no difference. It dies at idle, and when I start it, it revs to 2000 rpm. Car has low performance when going down the road.

It is not your throttle sensor, it is called an IAC. it is an idle air control and you can get them on ebay for like 40, of go to napa or the like and pay 60 for a brand new one. same problem.

Is there any tricks to installing throttle position sensor in 92 geo storm? Not adjusting. Simply take out two screws and replace part and reinstall screws is it that easy?

Yes its that easy, just make sure you engage the notch on it to the throttle body shaft. You may have to roll it past the screw holes to engage the notch. Then holding it in place on the throttle body, just roll it back to where the holes line up for the screws. Do not over tighten the screws

Does a distributor from a 1993 geo storm gsi 1.8 fit a 1993 geo storm base?

most probably not, the GSi has a different head. Base has a 12 valve, GSi has a 16V. Check for part numbers. Do you need just the cap or the entire distributor?

Does 1992 geo storm gsi have timing belt or timing chain

great question. but confuses <STORM (an ISUZU) with METRO, Swift.
ill assume the STORM is correct and the 1.8l too.
that engine is a ISUZU Real engine,
and is called the
4XF1 ,see facts below.
now the cam answer.

in the uSA this car is the GSI model with 1.8L
see last link for your answer. below. GM official page.
you can also see your cam in the 2nd link below.
the engine is INTERFERENCE. so if the belt snaps, it bends valves
just like all HONDAs do.\
http://www.agcoauto.com/content/List_Of_Interference_Engines


wiki facts.
The larger 1.8 L 4XF1 DOHC replaced the 4XE1 in North America and produces 140 hp (104 kW) and 125 ft/lb (169 Nm) of torque. This engine was used in the 1992-1993 Geo Storm GSi, in the 1992 Isuzu Stylus RS, and in the Asuna Sunfire. In Japan it was installed in the Isuzu Piazza, where it had 150 PS (110 kW).

1991 geo storm gsi,Was going down the road fine and all of a sudden It cut off and cannot restart it what could be the possible problem or cuses.

same answer for all cars made 1920 to now.
never restarted ,ever ? gee , a little hint...?
1: lost engine compression hot, (gee forgot to do the 60k serviice/)
2: lost spark , yes, check spark at all 4 cyl. if bad check coil spark.
3: lost fuel or too much fuel called flooding.

one removes a spark plug, it drips of fuel , say all 4.
flooding.
crank motor at WOT, wide open throttle to clear flooding.
if the spark is good and the spark tips are dry, then try test fuel
if car starts and dies. then you lost injection.

easy huh> with the above you know exactly why it fails.
compression bad
spark
fueling.

1991 i think is TBI single injection engine, i can look it up but
no i wont. we need to do the tests first to get there.

91 Geo Storm Gsi running just fine, one day I lost power driving 65, check engine light came on and was flickering, mph arm going up and down but didn't die then. Then it was ok.That happened 2 times...

Most engines don't fair well under extreme heat. It's apparent you might have some electrical issue's. Your rpm's or mph arm going up and down could be faulty speed sensor would cause arm problem. I think you may have more than one problem, the car shutting off is due to engine over-heating. Check cooling system-thermostat, water pump, radiator, engine fans and coolant temp sensor and fan relay's. It could be as simple as blown radiator hose.

We bought a 1990 geo storm gsi an dwe cant getit satarted wel we can but only when we spray ether into it will it start and stay on we are not getting any juice to the fuel system the fuel ump iis not...

I had these exact symptoms and found that there are two ground straps attached by ten millimeter bolts right near the throttle plate on top of the manifold. These ground the circuit you are describing.
Also the computer grounds a circuit which fires a relay that runs the fuel pump.
You have a blow fuse or are missing a ground for your circuit.
