Every vehicle has a brake caliper and or a wheel brake cylinder, on these are a bleeder screw that kinda looks like a grease fitting. locate this bleeder and break free so it turns freely (un screws and screws in ) do this to both sides of the front or rear of vehicle. the brake system shares the same brake master cylinder and fluid, but runs seperate features that operate the front or the rear brakes. Now that bleeders are free and turn easily make sure you tighten them . it doesnt take much just snug them. now fill master cyl with brake fluid dot 3. put cap on master cylinder. have a helper sit in car and pump breaks, at the fifth (5) pump hold brake pedal to the floor, and keep continuous pressure, at this time you loosen or (crack) the bleeder screw allowing fluid and air to escape,tighten screw, and repeat. after second time check fluid in master cylinder and fill. proceed this step on one side untill air bubbles are no longer present, then repeat same procedure on other side. The vehicle does not have to be running. Tell your helper to hold down brakes, and do not release untill told,open bleeder,fluid and air will escape,tighten bleeder screw and then tell them ok pump brakes,after 5 pumps you yell down and they hold down,loosen and bleed,tighten and yell pump. check fluid often and fill, wear eye protection.

Does a 1996 Geo Metro have the same engine as a 1997 Geo Metro?

join a metro forum,

few cars on earth had one engine , most have options
the metro had 3.
so if both cars had the same engine , are they the same.
is the real question.
read the wiki on geo metro.
here is one other issue , quoted
1997 featured the four-cylinder engine with a new sixteen-valve head (rather than the eight valves of the earlier design)

that means the EFI is different and head. (at least)

My 97 Geo Metro smokes after taking off from a traffic light. I had this problem with a Datsun and it was the vacuum modulator, but the Geo does not have one. Any ideas?

Is the Geo burning engine oil? do you have to add it every week/month, you know it could be sucking brake fluid or even tranny fluid so keep an eye on all.

1- Verify the procedure of bleeding.
2- Probably you have to run the car even than the faces of the rotor and the pads mold.
