Mercury Tracer

5W30 is a viscosity rating, In simple terms resistance to flow. 10W40 is a thicker oil in extreem winter climate you could experience hard stating.If you use a synthetic or partially sythetic oil you will be better off.

i tried it in my 95 Monte Carlo 99,000 miles.it triggered service engine light to come on.going tomorrow to put 5w30 back in it.

In newer model vehicles it is important to use the correct viscosity oil because the engine has been made to properly flow oil of a specified weight. I've seen heavier oil put in new vehicles by ignorrant techs. and the oil can not make its way to lubricate the valves and wears a good motor fast. If you hear ticking noises you better change with new oil qiuckly and hopes the motor runs smooth again.

There is none. It is electronic. Try replacing the idle motor.

ur hamster i eated it

Located in the fuel tank - may have to remove for access

Cobalt 60 is not used in medicine as tracer. Cobalt 60 is used to destroy cancer tumors by gamma irradiation. Uranium has a gamma radiation with an energy of about 185 keV, very small to be used for a medicinal irradiation.

On my '91, it went like this: Borrow a steering wheel puller. Remove the horn pad, (four screws on the backside of the steering wheel. Remove the wheel. The rest is a cake-walk and simply a matter of Removal and reinstallation. The ignition switch has a tab on the side opposite of the key that is prone to breaking. It's quite doable without spending a hundred dollars an hour if you have a decent socket set and a steering wheel puller in hand.

check your relay for the cooling fan and fuelpump

Right on top of the pump. It looks like a European style cartriage oil filter container. But its actually the fluid reservoir. Choosing the right fluid is the tricky part.

You'll find it under the hood, driver side, located in black plastic box with other relays and fuses.

No , the 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine in a 1997 Mercury Tracer ( IS NOT ) an interference engine ( according to the Gates website , they make timing belts etcetera )

You might check your vehicle speed sensor. My 1997 Tracer is acting up along the same lines.

The 1996 Mercury cooling fan relay switch is on the back of the cooling fan motor. The relay switch should be labeled as such.

I do not know, but I am having the same problems with the removal of my 1994 tracer's stereo

long half lives

timing belt broke?

Mercury made the tracer, not Chevy

its right on top of the engine its a little grey part connected by two bolts with several small detachable cords hanging out of it

well hello my name is babakanusch

The room fuse powers the internal lights and radio and also the terrible beeping sound when the door is ajar.

I just did this job on a 1992 Tracer, there probably haven't been too many changes over one model year.

First, take out the four 12mm bolts that hold the steering column up, let the steering wheel drop down into your lap. Take out the trim panel screws for the panel around the instrument cluster (you'll need a Torx bit). Disconnect any electrical connectors from that trim panel (I had two), and remove the panel. The instrument panel is held in with 4 Torx screws, same size as the trim panel. Next, disconnect the speedometer cable from the transmission. The connector is between the engine and the firewall, and is held in with a metal clip. Pull the speedo cable through the firewall, and the instrument cluster will push right out of the dash. Don't pull too far, you just need a little space to reach the light bulbs.

Needs new alternator.
