1992 GEO Storm Engine cooling Problems

“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. …”

“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.”

“Vehicle was running badly and alot of exhaust fumes were getting into the cab. When the vehicle was taken to a mechanic, exhaust manifold was found to be cracked. Exhaust manifold cracked in the same area that was once welded. Dealership stated that problem was common. Please provide any further details.”

“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.”

“The engine blew in the car purchased.tt consumer states engine is no good per manufacturer after use of only 3 years, manufacturer will not replace engine as it is 9000 miles over warranty, there is no prior problem with automobile, consumer stated engine should not have blown after only one time over heating, believes this to be a manufacturer's defect.”
