What owners report

  • 1992 geo storm manual transmission. When engine gets hot ( summer months ) engine idle increases to 2,500 - 3,500 rpm. Must use foot to pull up on accelarator. Car begins to overheat lurches forward. Car also stalls without warning. Heard it has to do with faulty ecm. Very dangerous situation. *jb
