Hi, I have a question about my GEO Metro '94. Today, my GEO just quit running. Its getting NO spark out of the coil, and no gas coming out of the injector. The engine was running just fine, and then stopped suddenly. Mechanically the engine is fine. Battery is HOT and alternator running good. It turns over with the starter no problem [just no spark or gas from injectors]. I've swapped out the coil assembly twice, I've swapped out the distributor in total [complete unit with cap and inside electric], the ECU/computer module, and all of the relays under the hood, but all to no avail. The coil is getting 12 volts to its imput\ terminal, but puts out no voltage at all to the distributor via the coil wire. The throttle body is getting 12 voltage, but again, no gas is being injected. What do you suggest is the problem? do you know somebody who would know how to diagnose
IT WAS A BROKEN TIMING BELT, REPLACEMENT SOLVED PROBLEM - NOT ELECTRICAL AT ALL !!

Sounds real similar to a problem I had last month. After reading this forum, I checked the timing belt and sure enough it was snapped. Just undo the top half of the bolts holding the cover on and you should be able to pry the cover away far enough to see if the belt is still there.
