You probably know, an engine needs compression, fuel, and spark at the right time to start. So one of those three components are missing.
Will it try to start if you use starting fluid sprayed into the intake? Have you checked compression on all cylinders ? Is the spark blue or white, or is it yellow ?

SOURCE: 91 geo metro

Seen this a hundred times, the fuel pump was failing due to age, allowing the fuel to get too low too many times, and not changing the fuel filter when you changed the filter you effectively lost the prime in the pump and due to its condition it can not pump enough anymore was that your problem? Im guessing that it was

SOURCE: 1992 geo metro cranks but does not start. Will

You might want to see if the timing belt might have jumped.If you getting gas and spark it should of fired.Try this Hold the gas pedal to the floor and crank on it for a few.By doing this you shut off fuel flow to motor and it tries to burn what has been injected.Don't let off of the pedal or make sure to press down before cranking.Maybe it flooded it self by cranking slow..If car still does not start after cranking the motor over a few times spay some starting fluid into the intake or throttle body and try to start.If fires and misses back fires has a slow pedal response its more than likely the timing belt....

SOURCE: install anti rattle clips 97 Geo Metro

Disk brake parts, otherwise known as pad springs. They're on there from the factory. Unless someone was drunk at work again, then the caliper comes off just like changing the pads and the clips go in first, then the pads snap in and caliper goes back on.

I have a 97 geo metro 4 cyl engine the other day broke down the wrecker driver said sounds like fuel pump is bad. I replaced pump and filter still would not start. getting fire. Last night I started it...

first check fuses. (test them)
then check for spark at all 4 cylinders. good.?
if not timed correctly (spark) with timing light, then the cam belt slipped. (oops not changed at 60k, oops)
if all that is good engine runs on test fuel, does it?
if yes, you lost fuel.
easy huh, watch scotty

97 geo metro replaced fuel pump, has new timing belt, gets spark to plugs will run with ether sprayed in carb but wont stay running, has new water pump, new fuel pump relay, ...someone said check the ECM...

The cam sensor controls the injector pulse. No cam signal = no fuel. Also these cars are known for wires chaffing through on the injector harness. If any of the wires are shorted out it will kill all the injectors and result in a no fuel no start situation. Check the wiring first, normally a no cam signal will set a code and a check engine light. Make sure the fuses are good also. Hope this helps.

Geo metro 97. Runs great for a day then wont start the next

Your timing belt is worn out. Some days it runs good because the cogs are lined up. The next time you start it, it maybe backfires just a touch, and it's out of time. Today, it's really out. Or maybe even broken.

94 geo metro won't start. possibly fuel problem. has trouble when i hit gas to make up a hill and misses, no transmission or spark plug problems. HELP!

Do a complete tune up plugs wires cap rotor. The spark gets stronger when your accelerating and this is when some electrical problems break down.
