How do you remove starter on a Geo Tracker?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First, find the negative cable on the battery and remove it. Locate the positive cable, then do the same thing. Now, the battery tray bolts need to removed for the car's body. You should be able to remove the tray without resistance. A creeper that moves on wheels is required to hold the motor whenÊtakingÊout the bolts that hold the starter to the block. Place each item back in the reverse order. Make sure the attach the positive cable first on the battery.

Why would a convertor not lock up on 1994 Geo Tracker?

On my 1996 tracker the check engine light is on for EGR and TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUT MALFUNCTION.I talked to a local transmission shop and he said it was a automaic transmission lockup solinoid.Its just inside the transmission pan and i believe it has only 2 wires.I ordered mine from napa for about $45.00 and should get it tommorrow.I'll change fluid and filter at the same time.My tracker shifts fine but i do here a noise that seems to come from that area sometimes upon acceleration and deceleration.Its sounds like a vibration..I'll let you know if it works.Autozone read the code but didnt have any idea on how to fix it.Hope this helps ..

check the starter what year is it , if the key has a transponder chip and you are using a dup made at a wallamrt it won't work.

What do you do if the ignition starter is sticking and won't turn with the key in it?

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the car and you will still have the steering wheel lock to deal with. Newer cars do not like being hot wired. You can break the steering column but that seems excesive. Wiggle the steering wheel as you try and turn the key.

1996 geo tracker will not come on the headlights and radio work but the car wont start what could be wrong could it be the starter or the alternator?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The starter is where I'd go first. I've just recently just had this problem with my '97. The tow truck driver clued me in when he had me turn the key and he rapped the starter from the top and I started right away. I was told that the starter is bad and after that I believed him because this has happened before and I've not had an answer until this last guy. He was my savior that day.

How do you set timing on 89 acclaim 2.5L after changing timing belt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If your crank, cam, and distributor where lined up correctly, you should be pretty close. If not, there is a rubber wedge on the transmission bell housing. Remove this wedge, and you should see your marks through this "window" Take your distributor cap off and #1 plug out. You can turn crank till Top Dead Center. Rotor should be hittting on position 1 on distributor. Loosen distributor and hook up timing light. Book says 12 degrees BEFORE TDC, but mine runs closer to 9 or 10.

If you lined up the crank with the distributor, with notch in cam at 12 o'clock...you should be real close!

Where are the inertia switch and the fusible link located on the 1995 geo tracker?

User Avatar

Asked by Web1racer

Hi, the fusible link is attached directly to the positive battery terminal. The inertia switch I'll still look for. Hi again, From all I've been able to see and find, it looks as if the inertia switch is also called the rollover switch, is located on or at the fuel pump but looks as if it's part of the foel pump assy which mmakes sense if we think about it. If the car has an accident the fuel needs to be stopped and the inertia or rollover switch would do this. I hope this helps and if you need to remove the fuel tank, it's a little work but doable just need a good jack and a couple of jackstands and a bunch of tools or better still...a good friend with a garage because it's a pain job. By the way, if I'm wrong I hope someone lets me know and if I'm right I hope we are all llet know. Thanks for considering.

What is the best way to replace a floor that is completely rusted on a 1992 Geo Tracker?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I think you've just about had your money's worth out of that little feller. Replace all that floor pan and you're going to find the crossmembers are rotted, so it will fail inspection anyway. And just how many miles do you expect to squeeze out of that little 3 cylinder engine after you've done it all?

Well,it's a FOUR cylinder,and thefloor can be replaced,i replaced mine from yhe firewall to the back door,and the rockerpanels,don't give up.Of course I did all the work myself,if I had to pay someone I would have got another one and kept T2 for parts.

What causes a clicking sound on a 1996 Geo Tracker LSI when accelerating but stops when constant speed is reached?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If it gets worse when turning corners under power, CV joints.

Really depends on where the sound is coming from. If it's engine noise any number of things could be wrong. Acceleration puts more of a load on the engine, making all the gremlins more evident.

Determining what each engine sound means is beyond the scope of this.

AnswerMine did the same thing. It turned out to be the ignition timing was off.Pre-detonation caused the ticking sound. Either use a timing light to set the timing or have a mechanic do it or trial and error(i.e. move the distributor SLIGHTLY one direction, the drive and see if the ticking is better or wose and go from there).it also may be a exoust leek and that would make a slite tick

*Ignition timing is related. This is specifically a noise between the camshaft and the valves. It clicks because the lifters are solid, and at least one has excessive clearance (or wear). You will notice it under varying load conditions while driving straight, and it will be worse when the engine is cold. Have the lifters and cam shecked for wear, and set the clearance 0.13-0.18mm. Good luck.

Does anyone have experience installing universal o2 sensor on Geo Tracker 96 or know what the OEM oxygen sensor wire colors mean compared to a universal 4 wire sensor?

User Avatar

Asked by Geodave

Use a digital volt meter to determine the pin arrangement. On the new sensor, Two will be from the heater in the sensor. Set the meter to low OHMS and probe two wires at a time till you get 3.0-5.5 ohms(1.6l TFI engines) or 10.0-15.0 ohms in 1.6L MFI engines. That's the heating element circuit wires that will be connected to the voltage and ground from the ECM. The other wires are the sensor ground, and the sensor output.

This may help, my OEM O2 sensor pigtail is as follows-

blue=sensor ground

white=sensor output

blacks=+B (voltage from ECM) and Heater Ground, it should not matter which

With the key off, disconnect the O2 connnector from the harness near the firewall. Turn key to "on" position without starting car. Set volt meter to 10 or 20 volt DC range. ground black (-)neg. probe to engine and probe connector at the harnesss with the positive lead to find (+b) 12v from the ECM.

What happens when the timing belt breaks on a 1996 Geo Tracker?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

# you instantly lose all acceleration # the engine quits # the pistons may have "kissed" the valves (engine rebuild) # you need alternate transporation

Routine maintenance and repair could have prevented this from happening. Cars need regular care just as do our bodies in order to remain healthy and dependable. What may have seemed like a trivial repair then may now cost thousands when with routine work it may have been less than a hundred dollars.

1998 tracker no spark fixed computer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

i guess you mean,

no park, swapped ECU ? and still no spark.

check all the fuses above your left knee.

98 still has a distributor.

so put in a new cap and rotor and wire and plugs, "tune it up"

if no spark, then its:

Bad Distrubutor parts, major.

cmp sender, Ignitor and the coil is inside.

rebuilt distributors are sold by all major auto stores.

How can you adjust the the speed at which shifting occurs of an automatic in a 1990 tracker It has a 1.6L engine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Perhaps the driver of this 1990 Tracker is referring to the speed in which the torque converter cluch (TCC) blocks up. My 1991 Tracker's TCC is designed to lock-up at 40MPH. This is accomplished by the governor pressure (which is determined by road speed). The TCC relay is under the hood and it sends the signal to the governor pressure switch. When the governor switch closes it energizes the lock-up solenoid valve,which pressurizes the TCC mechanism causing lock-up, which could be mistaken for another shift by some.

How do you change a water pump on a 1994 Geo tracker?

Asked by Wiki User

In order to change the water pump the first step is removing the grill and then the radiator fan assembly. Once this is done the water pump is accessible it will have four bolts that must be removed in order to take out the water pump.
