Hello,
I have a 1994 Geo Metro, 1.0L 3-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, with throttle body fuel injection. The car was running fine until on the way home from work it started to lose power. I was able to get it home only by keeping the accelerator to the floor. These are my current symptoms: 1. Starts hard. 2. After starting it has a rough idle. 3. If you try to "blip" the accelerator either during idle or while driving, it stalls. 4. It tries to cut out when you shift into gear. 5. I can hear light backfiring when letting off from full throttle. 6. It stalls when accelerating from a stop, unless I power-brake it to get the rpm up. It runs ok at mid throttle range but will not go above 55mph on a flat, straight stretch of road at full throttle. Low end throttle it stalls, high end throttle lack of power. I've verified the timing setting, replaced the plugs, wires, and fuel filter with no success. No engine codes stored. Any ideas? Thanks |
