Replying to: scot223 (Apr 20, 2009 4:43 am) I solved that intermittent engine shut off problem by having a new cam position sensor switch installed. I had my mechanic do it, and the cost was almost $400.00 for everything, but that was 6 months ago and I haven't had any problem since. I am in Hawaii, and everything is expensive here, you should be able to get it done for much less. The switch alone is about $100.00. In the meantime, take out the thermostat or have that done, and that should keep the engine cooler unless you are idling or in heavy slow traffic. I have heard that if you get stuck, you can slowly pour about a liter of water directly on the switch and that will get you going again right away. The switch will be on the top of the engine, at the back right against the firewall, usually a black plastic color. Good luck Replies to this message: scot223 (Apr 26, 2009 5:15 pm) scot223 (Apr 28, 2009 7:14 am)

Replying to: lawaimike (Apr 23, 2009 4:42 pm) My daughter is taking it to the shop on Monday after having the problem of not starting and finally re-starting after a few minutes, usually 10 minutes, then starts as always. I hope this cam sensor solves the pain and frustration of this strange problem Replies to this message: scot223 (Apr 28, 2009 7:14 am)

Replying to: scot223 (Apr 26, 2009 5:15 pm) Well, the final cost from the Cam Sensor was $288. I hope this ends her frustration, since this is the only thing that has ever went wrong with this baby SUV.
#60 of 80 2004 chevy tracker 2.5L V-6 cold start problems by palko May 04, 2009 (1:54 am)
I have a 2004 Chevy Tracker 2.5L V-6 with 62000 miles on it that is starting to have a cold rough start problem when it sits for( lets say) 2 days. The engine feels like it is only firing on less than 6 cylinders. Then it smoothes out quickly. I haven't changed out the plugs yet (manual says 60000 miles). Once warmed up this thing runs and starts normal. I've tried STP fuel additive to remove any water. Any ideas? Do I need to get it to a shop for an OBD-2 scan?..thanks

#63 of 80 2003 Chevy Tracker Troubles by xcaligurl Jul 16, 2009 (1:05 pm)
I purchased a 2003 Tracker and after having it 3 days I drove 30 miles with AC off filled the tank drove home 30 miles with AC on got in the driveway shut off car, maybe five minutes got back in, car would not start acted like it was out of gas. Waited about 15 minutes got in it started no problem. Took the car in to mechanic not throwing any codes mechanic could not recreate (dont think he really tried). Second time drove 30 some miles again AC off,on way home AC on got back into town another 30 miles filled up the tank within minutes the car was coughing like it was out of gas had to push it four block to get it home. Again after it cooled started no problem. Second trip to mechanic still not throwing code. Changed fuel filter put some fuel cleaner in. Said that would fix it. (Myself thinking nahuh) Third time. Drove it approximatley 10 miles with AC on shut it off went to start it up wouldnt start just like it was out of gas. Finally got it cooled and started made it almost home and started coughing like out off gas again. Cough, Die, ect. Mechanic now says it is the catalytic converter. Well I read online that a clogged converter is a symptom not the actual cause and if we dont fix the underlying cause it will just happen again. Any suggestions? It has already gotten expensive considering this is a new used car to me but Id rather just take care of it all now instead of every weeking taking it in again for more $s I dont have. I would appreciate any help! Thanks!

Replying to: xcaligurl (Jul 16, 2009 1:05 pm) It sounds like you are having the same problem. Everything I have read seems to indicate the problem is with the cam sensor. They are saying the cost runs from $30 to $500 Replies to this message: xcaligurl (Jul 24, 2009 7:06 am)
