My 92 Geo Storm (Base Model) will start fine when it hasn't been run for a few hours, however, after running for a while the engine will stall and will not start. Replaced the ignition control module but that didn't fix it. The most recent time this happened it started up after about an hour or so, but would stall any time it was allowed to idle. Does anyone know what causes this?

you may have turned too many rmps and warped a piston which would cause the piston to actualy hit your valve, or while turning too many rpms you may have caused the valve to "float" which would mess it up

That is Inflatable Restraint light
Airbag problem
Sensor failed, or something else in the airbag system.
The light is on because that system has detected a problem within the air bag system. Anything from an accident to a broken wire somewhere! This system is disabled as long as the light is on but the bag could still go off if the right sequence of events happens, just to be on the safe side, I would have the codes checked to see if it's something simple or not. A Geo Metro is not the safest car to begin with, you need all the help you can get!

There are several problems that can cause this behavior, Is it cold where you are? If so the geo's have a known issue with starting in cold weather.
If not then here is a list of possible issues
1.) Cracked or damaged ignition coil and/or primary wire.
2.) Fuel Pump.
3.) Clogged fuel injectors (Engine will run rough when it does run if this is the case)
4.) Badly worn spark plugs, Spark Plug wires, Distributor cap and/or rotor.
*** WARNING *** Your ignition system contains dangerous voltage levels
that could seriously injure or kill anyone coming into contact with the
spark. Be sure to use insulated pliers or a spark tester and follow the
instructions. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death.
Tests to confirm:
1.) Purchase a spark tester from your local auto parts store, Connect a spark plug wire to the tester and connect the tester as described in its documentation, Have a friend crank your engine and watch for a bright blue spark, The spark should happen frequently and with a rythm, If it seems to skip alot proceed to test #4. If you dont see a spark at all the ignition coil is to blame, Even if you do see a spark, It should be bright blue and clearly visible in daylight, If it is then your ignition coil is doing its job.
2.) Get a pressure gague and hook it up to the fuel line, Turn the key off and on several times (Dont start the engine) if the pressure doesn't rise when the key is turned to on, Your fuel pump may be faulty, Even if it does rise it should reach 15 PSI, If it doesnt then replace the fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator.
3.) You would have to remove the injectors. I recommend you have a mechanic check to see if this is the problem.
4.) Remove the distributor cap and check the rotor for carbon tracking (A black line on the end that touches the cap) if you see that, Replace the cap and rotor and try test #1 again. If the rotor and cap are in good condition, reinstall them.
