What kind of car is a 99 Metro?

I just got a new 99 Metro a month ago, which since the 98 model has the Chevy logo rather than the Geo. It’s a beautiful dark metallic green, which makes it look like an insect. And for less than half the price of a new VW Beetle, it’s just as cute. It’s a perfect city car, gets an amazing 41 mpg.

What kind of car is a Metro hatchback?

I owned a 4-door ’92 Metro hatchback for over 6 years and 88,000 miles. They sip fuel, are easy to park, make great commuter cars in-town, do well on medium-length trips (4-5 hours or less) and will probably never be stolen or broken in to.

Can a truck go faster than 100 on a tachometer?

Tachometer has no redline, and Im sure the engine can do more than 100, is this for Governmental safety regulations or does the truck itself not go faster than 100 due to mechanical safety issues? Also, on the new’er or old’er body style trucks does anyone else have this issue?

Is the Metro a reliable a / C system?

As long as you keep regular service up, they are pretty reliable (’92 and earlier Metros do have an issue with their A/C coolant, though, in that it is no longer available…if you loose your coolant for whatever reason, you need to spend $$$ to retrofit the A/C system) and relatively trouble-free.

What does it mean when your engine idle is too low?

If your idle is too low, it could be the IAC not talking to the computer correctly. Disconnect the IAC connector for a couple seconds while your engine is idling. If your engine idle didn’t change, you can suspect it to be the IAC. If it is working properly, unplugging it would cause your idle to freak out.
