Car has a new battery, new fuel filter, new distributer cap, new water pump, new timing belt...today it died while I was driving it, slowly losing power and would not start again.
I experienced something similar when a timing belt blew a few years ago, but in that case the engine didn't turn over at all. Now it is grinding like it wants to start but can't quite get there.
It has been not accelerating , feels like I am pulling a house and takes a while to get over 15 miles an hour from a dead stop. The mechanic couldn't find what was wrong with that but managed to find other stuff wrong to the tune of $800 in August.
The car is a 1993 Geo Metro. Don't laugh, it's beeen a great car, I bought it new. It was about 85,500 miles on it.
I really am not going to dump too much more $$ into it, but if you recognize what might be going on with the car and how much I am looking at to fix it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Well im certainly no mechanic but it sounds like the fuel pump to me. Even though you have had the fuel filter changed, if there is a blockage or the pump is going out, it wont feed the gas through and the car will stall.

ok, your first problem is you drive a geo metro. im sorry. but if i coluld guess i would lean a little less tward your fuel pump ( dont rule it out ) and more tward either a computer prob or a spark problem, like a dead spark pack or rotor pack. check into that first to save time and money,

Replace fuel pump.
