I have recently got a Geo Metro, I have been trying to figure out why the car shakes so much and when I start the car, I need to tap gas or it goes idle. Changed: 02 Censor Oil+Oil Filter Air Filter Fuel Filter Spark plug Wires Spark Plugs O-Ring When I changed the spark plugs they had oil on them. Is that normal or an issue? Thanks for the help in my introduction forum. |

Is there a Post on how to change them? I have no clue where the vacuum lines are located. |

They're the little black rubber hoses on the the intake manifold (well, most of them anyway). Pull one off at a time and cut a length of new rubber hose (or silicone if you like) of the same length and put that hose back in it's place. Move on to the next one and repeat until all of the old hoses have been replaced. |
