What owners wrote

While driving vehicle at 35 to 40 MPH vehicle started to lose power. Also, flames were coming from under vehicle and engine compartment. Insurance company noted cause of fire was due to a wiring harness which connects to battery and alternator.

Fire

93 geo storm randomly stalls and will not restart for several minutes to several hours. Have replaced cap, wires, rotor, plugs, pick-up and ignition module and cannot find problem. I have found many reports of the insulation on the ECU going bad and causing problems.
