flooding throttle body on geo?

Question

my car starts fine but after running for 5 minutes i can turn it off and it will crank up but if i put it in neutral and give it a slight push on the pedal it dies i did this with a friend and he killed the engine like i said above and when it died we could smell gas coming from the throttle body we waited a while after making sure there were no leaks in the lines or anywhere and did it again did the same thing with the gas smell im thinking its flooding itself or could the choke be sticking it is a geo metro and i think they have chokes if its flooding out then how do i fix it

Answer 1

Well, sorry there isn't a "Choke" as we're used to calling them in the throttle body.
The throttle body injection unit on your car has only 1 injector in the top of it and if you are smelling fule coming out of that monsterous 1.6L engine then you might as well figure on , 1a tps,
2 possible new injector or throttle body for the little beast. there are adjustments for the air fuel ratio on those but if you don't know what your doing its easy to mess them up . The TPS on most of those is adjustable and it is not too hard to do.
The easiest way to check your injector is to take your timing light and with the engine running shine it down the throttle body.
it will show you the spray pattern of the fuel. or lack there of.

Answer 2

Haynes Manual
What you do is get the Haynes Repair Manual for your Year and model of vehicle at Auto Zone, or another automotive repair shop. The manual will show you what and how to do the repairs.

Otherwise, I would say put higher octane in the car and get a tune up. The gas is not being burned one hundred percent. But the book will help a lot.

Answer 3

check the fuel pump regulator.it could be acting up.also where the throttle body is bolted up,theres a gasket there,see if its leaking there,try tighten the bolts.
