Engine idle is erratic, sometimes engine RPM will drop or die when coming to a stop. Fuel consumption is more than its supposed to be. Conditions worsen when in warm weather. After testing, the engine control module was found to be the source of the problem.

My 1993 geo storm has started stopping running while being driven and leaving me stranded. It is currently in the shop and appears to have a bad ECM. Sources on the internet indicate this is an inherent problem in the model car.

93 geo storm randomly stalls and will not restart for several minutes to several hours. Have replaced cap, wires, rotor, plugs, pick-up and ignition module and cannot find problem. I have found many reports of the insulation on the ecu going bad and causing problems.

My 1993 geo storm has been stalling lately. It is totally sporadic and does it when I am pulling out, when it is idling, and when I am on a freeway going along at a constant speed. This has put me in a very serious situation a number of times and has severely shaken me. It will stall in the middle of an intersection, and luckily all 6 times this happened no one was coming either way. I no longer drive my car, and I am afraid to sell it due to the fact this will happen to someone else. I had checked everything I could think of until I read a article about the electronic control module being bad in 89-93 geo storms, isuzu impulses, and asuna sunfires. I would like to see a major recall put forth to fix this problem. Thank you.
