Hey Fixer and Thad,,,,,, By Golly,,,,I got that sob runnin,,,I did,,,!!!!!!I kinda been takin a stab at crankin the little Geo 3 cylinder after a dude on one of them other forums told me to try the Ford Duraspark ICM and coil but nuttin I did would get it to spark. I forget how many fforums I visited and none of them dudes had the answer,,,,, I finally got on a geo forum and one of them dudes sent me a sure nuff geo wiring schematic and there the answer was,,,, hidin in plain sight. I think these are Suzuki engines but use general motors parts,,,so I did a simple GM wire-up and,,,,and,,,STILL no fire at plugs,,,!! Then another dude on that site told me the "Pick-up coil" AND the "Ignitor" BOTH were actually inside the distributor,,so all that needed to be done is to put an old style GM cylindrical coil in the loop,,,,and,,,,and,,,,,YOU GUESSED IT,,,,,the sob fired right up,,,,,  OH,,,and you can start calling me,,,TJ,,,,,thas short for "Tenacious Joe",,,,,,,

Well,,Fixer,,"I" value your knowledge is why I kept bugging you,,,,, You know sometimes I make my own problems by making too much outa something trivial like theis Geo engine. After all it is a GM product and no reason fro them to deviate from what has served them for so many years. I just made too dang much of a simple thing and then made it even worse by tryin to make it run with FORD parts,,,,(that last comment was for ole Shameless),,,,he e, hee, hee,

If you would have put those Ford parts on there you would have found them on the ground the next morning. GM immune system. |
