I have a 1992 geo storm 2+2 with a 12 valve motor and a 5 speed manual transmission the car constantly overheats even after entire cooling system was replace. Car stalls, idles eratically due to gm's faulty ECM insulative spray. And just recently loss of rear tail lamps and dash lamps. Brake turning and hazard lamps still work. All fuses and relays are good.

Car idles erratically, it also idles above 2000 RPM sometimes it lacks power and sometime it does not. The car stalls while at idle, or sometimes it pumps gas irregularly causing a pulsing.....

The faulty ecu component on my car has again made my car to stall, but this time I was in a bad situation, w/the engine stalling out I had no power steering and power brakes, thus causing me to drive into a 10ft deep ditch. As metioned before, this has not been the only time my car has stalled due to this problem (ie in the middle of busy intersections and so forth) this is a very dagerous defect that, izuzu uand the federal safety agency are aware of, I'm hoping that this incident along w/the many others is enough for the federal safety agency to correct the problem . Thank you.
