No power and no oil up on crank case
Popped and white smoke --is it from tail pipe or under hood- white smoke is steam--- under hood possible hose ,radiator or an engine gasket -from tail pipe looking at head gasket
Its a GEO POPPER.
"no oil up on crank case"
no idea what that means.??????
yes PCV valve. do clog.
white smoke at end if tail pipe.
you didnt say where,?
white smoke has 2 reasons.(tail end)
Steam and oil.
steam goes away fast and looks just like moms tea pot. and smells sweet, like the antifreeze in engine. (rad cap off ,sniff sniff, cold engine)
oil burning, smoke is very very slow to go away.
and smells like , blush burned oil.
if not sure what burn oil looks like or smells like
take out the dip stick on a hot engine
let it drip to the hot exhaust manifold there.
now you know. and is a key diagnostic skill.
no oil seen on dip stick end?, you mean that?
well you need to keep that from happening,
doing weekly service, and for sure old cars.
26 years old.
low oil invites blowing up a good engine.
for sure.
if it did that smoke is oil
if it did 10x worse, both .
my wild guess is you meant to say
I didnt see oil leaking on top of engine.
right?
if the engine backwires to the air cleaner
you forgot to replace the cam belt every 60k miles
the pcv will also be clogged, on cars not getting proper service, super colon.
if the PCV clogs,engine may leak oil bad.
this engine btw is a G10 3 cylinder.
with TBI injection.
we can talk TBI all day, owned one.
white smoke can come from many places
exhaust manifold, leaks of oil can land there
engine can back fire to air cleaner making smoke.
tail end.
steam is much worse. ill not delve in to that yet/.
SOURCE: THE FIRING ORDER FOR A 1992 GEO METRO
The firing order is 1-3-2, distrubtor rotates counter clockwise. looking at engine from front of vehicle cyl. # 1 will be on your left cyl.# 2 center and cyl.# 3on your right.
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: laging 1994 metro geo that is losing horse power
If your geo is losing power ,first thing to do is a comprision test .
if its testing any thing below 100 psi you may have to replace the piston rings.
SOURCE: My 1990 Geo Metro will not accelerate. It idles
The problem I've had with metro's is the pre-cat located in the exhaust manifold itself. If you don't live in California, you don't even need this piece of junk. It overheats the heads and makes it crack, or makes the head gasket leak. Removal is rather easy though. Remove the exhaust manifold and chip that baby out, use a shop vac to remove the pieces. If your model don't have one, it will usually be the one on the exhaust pipe itself. But you already replaced that. Try a short test run with the manifold disconnected and see if acceleration improves to rule this out as a potential problem. Also check your TPS, (Throttle Posotion Switch) with an ohm meter to be sure it hasnt developed any dead spots. Yet another source of trouble seems to be a stuck EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculator) valve. This will allow too much exhaust to enter your fresh fuel air mixture, decreasing detonation, and slowing acceleration.
