Geo Tracker

The crank sensor on the 2.0 DOHC engine is behind the flywheel (flex plate) on the back of the motor. In order to change it you must pull the transmission or motor.

Try turning the sterring wheel just a little while trying to turn the key. Also you might try pulling up on the gear shift lever if this is a column shifter while trying to turn the key. Hope this works.

There is a small " U- shaped " clip behind the crank. You can buy a window crank removal tool or use a small right angled pick. Another way is to take a thin rag and slide it behind the window cranks and pull up on it. Make sure you are going against the open end of the clip and pray it doesn't fly across the room. hahahahah Good luck!

I have a 1995 Geo Tracker and there is a handle just to the right of the gear shift (I have 5 forward) that's clearly marked "2" and "4". I'm fairly certain that yours isn't that simple. Sooooo -- go to GM dot com and join the community (you need your vin number). They will permit you to download an owner's manual in pdf, and I'm certain you will find it there. In addition ebooks on line offers free copies of owner's manuals for later years.

Answer

What does your owner's manual say? If you don't have one, then either get one and follow that schedule or, call a dealer and find out the correct change interval. If this is an interference engine, then serious engine damage will occur if it breaks the belt. Don't guess, find out for sure. If you cannot get a definitive answer, then replace it at 60,000 just to be safe.

Answer

The Haynes manual, and two online sources I've looked up say up to '96 change at 60K and '96 and newer 100K. To add to my confusion one source states it's an interference motor another that it isn't.

yes very safe as long as it is in neurtal and if 4x4 tc should be in neutral as well

Hi, You didn't specify whether you want for an auto or a manual so I'll give you both The Auto Trans takes 3.2 pints and the manual takes 5.8 pints. Those are the only fluid specs I have so I have to think it's with the pan dropped and the filter replaced not a complete flush as in an overhaul, but you probably are asking about what I mentioned, a fluid and filter change. follow up if need be and good luck.

it is in the transmission

Disconnect the negative cable from the battery for about one minute and the light goes off, if the light comes on again you must use an scanner and find out which code you have to fix the sensor that sends that code from emissions system.

I'm in the middle of this job on a 1995. Found out the hard way (didn't read the service manual close enough) that you must remove the timing belt to do this job. So much for what I thought was going to be an easy task.

If you go to AutoZone .com and check with there repair manuals on-line you can find the engine codes for your tracker

At any sport store they should have it. Storm chasing is a very popular thing to do. So any outdoor store should carry it. If not then maybe check on Amazon or eBay for a used one.

It is located right at the back of the valve cover. It sticks out and has a wire plugged right into the top of it. It has one torx head screw in it. It is located right at the back of the valve cover. It sticks out and has a wire plugged right into the top of it. It has one torx head screw in it. the cam sensor is at the back of the head... THE CRANK sensor is in the oilpan behind the dampner (front of the motor) you can get to it fairly easy... it picks up its signal form the halls effect wheel mounted behind the crankshaft timing gear.

I recommend you get a service manual; the one the dealer techs use not Chilton, etc.. Ebay usually have these for the specific year. If you are going to do any work on your car you will need the service manual. The head can be removed after you remove the intake and exhaust manifolds, valve cover,head bolts (the 16v engine requires some of the rocker arms be removed to get to the head bolts). The service manual will give a step by step procedure.

Hi, The easiest way I found on my '97 and when I went to the junk yards I found it the easiest on earlier models too, was to remove the instrument panel assy, very carefully as the speedo cable is attached to it and the plugs for the instrument panel are atteched to the top of the panel. Care is needed as you don't want to short the flexible circuit board on the back. The lights are right as well as those circuits and their wiring is what you will have unplugged. The wiring for the radio and heater/fan lights are behind those and you need to remove the bezels and the ashtray and lighter. When you have those items removed, the wiring is behind those items. The hardest thing about the removal of the instrument cluster is replacing the speedo cable and getting the panel wiring plugged back in all at the same time. It's not easy so I wish you luck and patience and I hope this helps, if it doesn't or more help is neede please ask more. Thanks, Steve

it could be the coolant temp unit. it senses the engine temp and adjust the throttle occordingly so the engine can easly worm up to operating temp. when i first start my 1990 tracker up, it will idle at around 2,000 rpm until it warms up then it will idle at around 700 rpms.

automatic idle switch.Nah. Supprised that your engine hasn't 'gernaded'! Something's mechanically sticking in WOT (wide open thottle) when you first start up; like the throttle plate/accellerator cable???

right behind the glove box

sounds like the cable is bad just take it to the shop and have it replaced

you will love this answer because i have had the same thing that is going on with my geo. one when they go to check your breaks they can adjust the cable. and that does not to it then you will have to live with the noise. if the adjustment does not do it then you will have to deal with the sound, got that answer from the make rs of geo trackers

firestone can adjust it

It can be several things, either by themselves, or in combination. 1) the belt has dried up and isn't as grippy any more. This causes it to slip and squeal. There are sprays available to restore grip on belts which might help. 2) the belt has stretched a little, which causes it to slip and squeal. Retension, usually by adjusting the alternator position and it should be OK. 3) one of the auxilliaries(alternator, power steering pump, water pump) is about to seize. If it's harder to rotate the belt will slip and squeal.

Hi, I'm hoping that we all can find some info here; http://www.the12volt.com/carsecurity/page1.asp There's another site that I'm trying to locate here too that has wiring diagrams. I'll post that when I find it. Steve H.

Hi, I have the wiring diagrams that are in the Chilton's that I have. The Chilton's covers from 1986-1998. I don't have a way to put them on line but I can help. If there's a part you need help with, please ask and I'll help with whatever I can. If you need I can e-mail you. Steve H.

just google the geo tracker radio wires

theres a web site called 12 volt, but personally, I am happy using the stereo interface (adapter) that I bought at wal-mart, simple plug-n-play set-up, that you wire direct to your aftermarket stereo all of the wires are marked so even electrically challenged people like me can do it..lol

Well, I'm not a Tracker owner, so please take this with a grain of salt. If the reverse lights come on at all, I'd say that the switch if OK. It sounds like it needs to be adjusted or repostioned. My best suggestion is to run down to your local parts store and pick up a Chilton or Haynes manual. The books can give you a more definitive answer and pictures! FriPilot

Code 19 for a 99 Ford Taurus means the restraint control module crash data memory is full. If you replace the RCM, the code will reset.

with enough money and time any motor you want.
