I have a 92 Storm

For the age of this car it is a combination of both the fuel filter and pump, i owned one several years ago and found that the gas tanks are prone to rust inside, if you have replaced the pump and filter you may want to drop the tank again and check the screen on the pump if it is brown you have rust in the tank: another problem i had ( if you bought an oem pump ) they tend to slip out of position, you can tie the pump it place so it doesn't move......

91 Geo Storm Gsi running just fine, one day I lost

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.

How do I repair a miss in my 91 geo storm?

Hi Keith:
Sounds like it could be time for a tune up.
Changing the spark plugs would probably be my first step.

Why did engine running, won't restart.

lots and lots of reasons, guessing. over 50 (bad engine?)
but does it crank?, no car starts unless it's cranked or
like my car, push started or gravity started (a 6sp m/t)
if engine fails to start , and cranks robustly (fast starter motor)
then
1: never tuned up, running 10 year old spark parts.
2: blow fuse. check fuses.
3:; lost spark, check spark.
4: flooding or loss of fueling. to unflood any engine, crank at wideopen throttle (oper, guide tells you that)
5: timing belt not changed at 60,000 miles it will fail, and will not start
or start have like 1/4 power.
6: lost compression in or more cylinders.?

or
get it serviced? if all that is too much work? or confusing.

How do I read trouble codes for 91 geo storm? Scanners are to new to read.

that is true.
but some cars running obd1 , can be scanned,. (i have one)
like all GM cars and even older, , some ford, , Honda's . Toyota;s
but this car is GEO, (underdog, but is really what. a Isusu.)
Isuzu's cars are mostly not raced or sold here now. so who's going to make scanner for such a rare car and engine and EFI?
there is no OBD1 standard, each company uses a unique design.
then,... so...
OBD2, in 1996 a USA invention is a standard and all tools work.
so....
what you have is the old blink codes. wink wink...
all OBD1 cars work like this (or very close)
you connect a jumper wire, and the CEL lamp flashes codes.
so is the CEL stuck on? running.
must come on key on, bad lamp or bad ECU.

you can check out Isuzu Impulse

Example storm post..OBD1991 (USA)
To put the ECM (Engine Control Module/Ignition Control Module/Engine Computer) into diagnostic mode, where it will flash codes at you using the "MIL" (Malfunction Indicator Light or "Check Engine" light), short pins 1 and 3 of the ALDL/OBD1 connector using a paperclip. When you then turn the key into the on position, the MIL should flash once, then pause a bit, then flash twice. That means code "12." If there are other codes, they will be flashed out as well. All codes are two digits.
end quote, on storm

but where is the connector DLC?
and which pin is 1 an 3
so. we google more, or look it up in alldata.com like most do.

or here
http://www.robietherobot.com/storm/stormFAQ.htm

that was the 1st google hit, using clear text human questions.
DLC jumper storm or Impulse.
or diagnostic jumper Impulse.

join a Geo storm or inpulse forum and ask for scan tools.
they will be custom tools. (or hacked, as i have done)
