I USED A 1996 MUSTANG GAS CAP ON THE 1990 GEO STORM THEN 1 HOUR LATER I TRIED TO START IT AND IT STARTED FOR A SPLIT SEC. THEN SHUT DOWN. I TOOK OF THE WRONG GAS CAP AND POOOF THERE WAS ALOT OF PRESSURE IN THE TANK. DID THE PRESSURE SHUT DOMN MY ECU AND FUEL PUMP ? POISSIBLE A ERNUSA SWITCH AS IF A CRASH IT SHUTS DOWN THINGS SO IT WONT CATCH FIRE IM NOT GETTING FIRE OUT OF MY COIL AND PUT EXTRA GAS IN IT AND THE GAS NEEDLE DID NOT MOVE. ALL OF THIS FROM A WRONG GAS CAP
