1992 Geo Storm engine problems

Filed Oct 13, 2003 · Engine · MD

Ecm causes engine RPM to increase during warm/hot weather which will not drop to normal when the clutch is engaged unless the throttle is physically moved (blipped). This dangerous as it doesn't always happen and can cause the car to not decelerate when the throttle pedal is lifted. This is not a once a year defect as you ask below; (had to fill in the blocks or I couldn't continue). It is prevalent on all fwd isuzu built automobiles from 1989 through 1994.

After I purchased this car on approx. 5/20/2002,I noticed a small rumbling sound accompanied with the smell of exhaust fumes inside the vehicle.on 9/1/2002 I was stopped at a red light when I heard an enormous rumble I proceededback home approx.2 blocks. I then put thecar up on car ramps and saw the pipe from the manifold to theconverter was in good shape except at the flange by the manifold it was sheared (no rust)I then inspected the exhaust manifold and discovereda 5 inch crack.I then called repair shops ,they tell me this is constant on all geo,s I called 30 used auto parts yards they tell me all geo exhaust manifolds crack and there are none to be found.as this is an exhaust and potentialy fatal flaw I will await your response before writing the newspapers.

My car has these symptoms as indicated at: ( http://www.isuzuperformance.com/isuzuweb/recall.html ) the engine kills constantly and only during warmer weather making it dangerous on the road during high traffic as well as low. I have taken it in to be repaired but the problem still has not been resolved.

When the weather is warm outside, the engine continues to idle fast (1500-1700 RPM) after the throttle is released. It returns to normal after about 10 sec. This would prevent the car from slowing down at lower speeds unless I depressed the clutch.
