#1748 of 1771 FYI by poorcruzer May 01, 2009 (4:17 pm)
My wife had noticed a pool of water collecting on the drivers side floor mat after going through a high powered tough less car wash. I had gone through the same wash a number of times before with no problem. The amount of water was quite significant which concerned me as the airbag module is on the floor and shouldn't get wet. I ended up removing the wipers and pulling the air intake shield off the truck, thinking that a drain pipe from the air intake system was blocked. I found on the drivers side intake that a wiring bundle was run through the intake. On the fire wall side the wiring bundle had a rubber grommet but where it went from the air intake to the interior of the truck there was no grommet and a rough hole. I ended up taking some silicone III on the end of a long flat screw driver and smeared it over the ragged hole, trying to completely surround the wire. It seamed to me a pretty crazy place to run a wire. I haven't tried the car wash again but I am pretty sure I have rectified the problem. Getting the air intake shield off is a a pain and you will break the retaining clips holding it in place. The clips are pretty cheap to replace compared to paying a shop rate to fix the problem.

Has anyone tried a different camshaft, in the 1.6 engine with automatic, to improve power and fuel economy?

Replying to: wojow (Oct 09, 2007 7:59 pm) Did you ever pin down the cause of your problem at 2300 rpm? I think I'm having the same. It hard to tell what the final solution was.
#1752 of 1771 Replacing a broken D.S. door handle? by grumpy_007 May 22, 2009 (3:48 am)
The drivers side door handle to my 2000 tracker just broke. It has snapped off completely. Does anyone know how difficult this is to repair and can anyone advise the procedure for removing and replacing the inside door panel(electric windows) and the door handle?   Thank you.
#1753 of 1771 Battery Replacement by eblroberts May 24, 2009 (6:11 am)
Hey everyone,   The original factory battery just went in my 2003 tracker, and when I went to the auto parts store their computer said the only battery they could give me was an Optima Yellow Top Deep Start $215 battery. The only explanation they could give me is that "It's a Tracker!" To me, that just doesn't ring true, but could anyone shed some light onto it for me? Is it true that you can't put a normal battery into a 2003 tracker, or did I just get taken for a top of the line battery I didn't need? Thanks a bunch.   Eden Replies to this message: george114 (May 25, 2009 1:58 pm) billp5 (Oct 23, 2009 5:10 am)

Replying to: eblroberts (May 24, 2009 6:11 am) The battery on my 1999 Tracker is a standard 12 volt, top post, battery. I am on my third battery. The battery should sell around $60.00 at Advance Discount Auto. Who ever sold you that battery for $215 did not do you right. They sold you the top of the line battery that you really don't need.

#1755 of 1771 soft top issues.... by dragonaz101 May 25, 2009 (7:18 pm)
Okay I own a 97 Chevy Tracker two door with a soft top. Now, I have no clue how to take the top off and there was no manual with car. Any one know where i might be able to find a diagram online to show me how to take this off and put back on without drama?
#1756 of 1771 Should I repair my 1999 Tracker? by mqh123 Jun 25, 2009 (2:33 pm)
Should I repair my 1999 Chevy/Geo Tracker? It has 113,000 miles on it. A few months ago the engine seized and I'm being quoted about $1500 for a rebuilt engine. The rest of the car seems to be in OK condition - minor rust. Is it worth it to get a rebuilt engine or should I just scrap the car and find another used car?
