20 Most Recent 1992 Geo Prizm Questions & Answers

I would start by getting a diagnostic code reader and checking if any codes are set when it dies. Misfire codes could mean a bad coil. Other codes, you'll have to check online or at an auto parts store for possible causes. In the absence of any codes, it's hard to say, but I would start by checking the fuel injector. Take a can of starting fluid with you and when it dies, spray some in the throttle body and see if it starts up for a few seconds. If it does, the injector is likely the culprit.

It depends if your gsi or lsigsi says, p185/60R14lsi is a 13 inch tire, one said, P155/80R13Maybe you need to check your suspension?There might be a placard on driver door post that has tire size?I just looked at tirerack, it said 175/70-13

not something you can fix on the side of the road most mobile phones have a torch function two dollar led torch from a gas station or convenience store if not the instrument fuse . a relay yes could be a faulty on /off light switch

(sure one $2000 tool used) but hold it , it's not really a Suzuki, its a toyota..... so all word written on DTC flash codes work with that car . search for jumper here (the Diagnostic jumper in the DLC conn) http://www.toyotanation.com/ or search TE1 http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/gtsearch.php?cx=partner-pub-7865546952023728%3Algfaynpqci4&cof=FORID%3A11&ie=UTF-8&q=prizm+TE1&sa=Search&siteurl=www.toyotanation.com%2F&ref=www.google.com%2Furl%3Fsa%3Dt%26rct%3Dj%26q%3D%26esrc%3Ds%26source%3Dweb%26cd%3D1%26sqi%3D2%26ved%3D0CB0QFjAA%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.toyotanation.com%252F%26ei%3DWo_GU_2nMcKcyASF4oK4CA%26usg%3DAFQjCNH6224mtR5X0XCGUiHd866fCQE_Fw%26bvm%3Dbv.71126742%2Cd.aWw&ss=1575j901787j5 its all there, how to do it.

the G10 engine? or ?spark to all 4 cylinder or just one, is good? if all are goodand compression way low below 150psithen the belt slipped the timing beltif compression is at spec, then try test fuelruns for 3 sec, that means lost fueling.so its the belt. the compression likes to drop to 80PSI (1/2 normal)as the cam goes WAY RETARDED. natrually.

check ignition coil and connections

that is called phantom drain. and will discharge any battery. (new or old) it only takes a Ammeter to find what circuit on car is sucking current http://www.fixkick.com/drain/drain.html

the brake light switch is on the brake peddle arm- it needs to be adjusted so the lights will turn off when you let off the brake peddle-cheers Denny

english, please. here, is google translation..... Hello, is failing me and the wipers do not catch? then putting them forward current if they work at one speed but where are locate the fuse? Geo Prizm 92 ... the fuse is in the fuse boxkl there are 2, one in the engine bad and one at the left knee, LHD or right knee in RHD LHD means left hand drive car. on country stated.

Have a coolant system pressure test done to check for system leaks. check coolant level at the radiator cap. have a compression test done to check for head gasket or cracked head.. Check fan operation and if you have a viscous fan hub replace it . Have a flow test done on the radiator to check for blocked cores.
