1992 geo metro cranks but does not start. Will give signs of puttering and close to starting when i hold the throttle body fully down. has fuel coming from injector and spark from all plugs. have them on right plugs as well. started and ran fine 2 days ago. havent turned on since and is not starting now.
You might want to see if the timing belt might have jumped.If you getting gas and spark it should of fired.Try this Hold the gas pedal to the floor and crank on it for a few.By doing this you shut off fuel flow to motor and it tries to burn what has been injected.Don't let off of the pedal or make sure to press down before cranking.Maybe it flooded it self by cranking slow..If car still does not start after cranking the motor over a few times spay some starting fluid into the intake or throttle body and try to start.If fires and misses back fires has a slow pedal response its more than likely the timing belt....

Check compression on all cylinders or the timing. both could cause puttering but no starting.
I have a 1995 geo Metro. this car sit for over a year and was only started a few times. it had a 1/2 of a tank of gas in it. now that im driving it again. it started out running very rough, not wanting to start or stay running. I noticed that there is a white bubbling mixture coming out of the intake area of the carborater. I was advised to put seafoam in the gas, I did that and it is running better to a point but now when starting it up first thing of the day it starts right up and runs but shows signs of dying out when you try and pullout at times. once you get going the car runs great, stopping it show signs of dying out. then once you turn the car off, it will not start back for bout 30 minutes or so. when trying to start it almost starts spits and sputters but doesn't. to add to this it blows steam out of the over flow area from the radiator, no water really just steam. the head gaskit was replaced all new sensors belts hoses last year. I replaced air filter and replaced air filter this week. I have drove the car about 300 more or less miles this past week. it seems to run better everyday, but I cant keep it running any ideas?

anything else that it coiuld possibly be.. not sure how the timing could go wrong sitting in a parking spot. and not work on one crank. ignition fuse maybe?
forgot to add.. timing belt alternator belt water pump all replaced new plugs dist cap wires all new. was purring when we replaced everything and put it back together but went to start it up today and nothing.
