1995 Geo Prizm Logo
Anonymous Posted on Apr 18, 2012

I have been having problems with my 1995 Geo Prism for a while now. The code showing is 14. It takes a while to get it cranked, now it keeps cutting off on me while driving, when slowing down. Its missing bad. Have put a fuel pump, relay switch, distributor cap, temp sensor, plugs and wires on it. Please I need help! Was told it could be a distributor or a ignition module! Any ideas?

I agree with what you have been told. Its most likely either the distributor or ignition module. Unfortunately, unless you have the equipment youll have to take it in to a mechanic.

    Thanks. I was just told it could be a crank sensor so I'm going to try that 1st because its cheaper. Could it be that also?

    Yes its definitely a possibility

    Ill try it but can't fund where its located! Do you know where it is?

  • Anonymous Apr 19, 2012

    I know that it is part of the distributor (1.6 engine), but I am not 100% sure of the location within the engine itself.

SOURCE: engine code 14 ignition signal and code 26 rich

I would start by replacing the primary ignition system,cap,rotors,wires,you can't just check these items they could be defective where you are unable to see.a rich condition can be caused by a mis fire from a wire,a bad tps,or 02 sensor,but I would always start with the basics and not overlook them,if you need any more help let me know.

SOURCE: Please I need help. I have a,1995 geo prizm. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pu relay switch, temp sensor. Took it to a shop and hooked up to machine for check engine light and found

I will enclose a wiring diagram to help you in checking the wiring.
Code 14 is ignition signal circuit , No ignition signal.Here are a few things to check.1} check for 5 volts signal from the ecm.2}verifies 0.10- 2.0 volt signal from (ecm) engine control module)3}check for power to distributor.4}check for open in black/orange wire between junction block no.1 and distributor or for a faulty junction block no.15}check for opens in power wire to Igniter. or a faulty ignition coil or Igniter6}check for open in red/black or black/orange wires to ignition switch and a faulty ignition switch
This problem may be a bad wire or bad ignition switch. the igniter may be bad but not to often do i see an igniter go bad.Most of the time its due to a bad ignition switch due to internal problem or bad wire connection at ignition switch. also check the wiring to distributor and to igniter.
The wiring diagram will help. hope this is helpful. good day.3_11_2012_9_50_55_pm.gif

Tail light fuse keeps blowing on my 1995 geo prism

Took it to the shop. The side marker lights were missing on my son's car. The wiring loops from the side marker lights to the tail lights. As the wires were touching in the front, they shorted out the tail lights. Capped the wires, problem solved!
PS: ordered side marker lights, too.
