2001 Chevrolet Tracker - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

It sounds like your 2001 Chevy Tracker with a 2.0 liter engine may be experiencing a problem with the ignition system. If one of the coils is overheating and melting, it is likely that there is a fault with that particular coil or with the circuit that supplies power to it. Some potential causes for this issue include:

• A faulty ignition coil
• A short circuit in the wiring to the ignition coil
• A malfunctioning ignition control module
• An issue with the spark plugs or ignition wires

I recommend having a mechanic diagnose the issue in order to determine the root cause of the problem and recommend the necessary repairs. It is important to address any issues with your vehicle as soon as possible to avoid further damage and to ensure your safety while driving.

May need an oil change and they would know how to turn it off

Unfortunately the seat belt must be replaced the mechanism that control it is stuck and cannot be release.

what fuse keeps blowing .

Could be the sending unit. Its located on the side of the head, driver side. (on s/b V8)

I just installed an Interstate Battery Group 3 from Costco on my Chevy Tracker 2.0L 4 cyl. 4WD.It fits like a gloove, has 640CCA instead of 625CCA. Cost was U$74.90 + tax + U$15.00 core charge ( which they'll reimburse once you bring the old battery back.) 42 months warranty you can't beat it. It also had a very practical handle to drop the battery in. The only thing, the battery terminal are reversed, so you have to install the battery 180° to still have the positive (+) side on the right hand side, but it worked like a charm

go on the internet and see if there is a relearn procedure for you car, some are a real pain to deal with.

valve cover gasket would never prevent engine starting. Replace if it's leaking, but don't look at the gasket as the source of your no start problem

Check the switch, it is faulty

Go under the vehicle and check the four wheel drive linkage.

Maybe its time for new spark plug,,, this is an inexpensive refresh and something the mechanic will do if he starts troubleshooting the engine miss. While you are installing the new spark plugs, give your spark plug wires a CLOSE VISUAL inspection for burns, cracks, or other defects that would cause a misfire..Once you have replaced the spark plugs..checked the wires, ..and if the miss is still there, its time for a qualified professional to look at it.. they will hook it to a diagnostic machine and tell you what happening... good luck..... and no, it hasn't "slipped timing"..

Read this post on all the things to check for a car that's overheating. http://ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/car-overheats/

Hi Mr. Bob Kendall. No , a knock sensor will not cause a car to over heat . A stuck closed thermostat , cooling fans not working , clogged cooling system , could be the gauge is reading wrong . A bad knock sensor would cause the check engine light to come on . Also would probably set a DTC - diagnostic trouble code . I just have to mention Mr Kendall , back in 1984 i got my start as a Automotive .technician at Bob kendall chevrolet in Vancouver , Washington . lol that's funny .

Which fuses are blowing? If it is blowing several fuses, not sure about that? If problem with 1 wire circuit and it is dedicated circuit, I usually leave a pig-tail at both ends and splice in a new wire, that is usually faster than trying to find a bad spot on a wire?

Right next to the blower motor under the dash on passenger side.

Yes there may be a wiring diagram, but you may not have them in your vehicle, they use just one diagram, it has wiring for all poss accessories.

It should have a 1/2 inch hole on the tensioner to put in a 1/2 inch breaker bar. Relieve the tension and remove the belt. Be careful, its heavy spring loaded. Make sure you know your belt routing for installing the new one. There should be a sticker with a belt routing diagram by the top of the radiator. This is for a serpentine belt. If for some reason you have a V-belt, you have to loosen brackets. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/kim_3202917d7c587455

Be sure to check the water pump. With the car running you can take a very long socket extension and place one end on different parts of the valve cover, block, alternator, a/c compressor, etc. and the other end hold to your ear. You may be able to pinpoint where the noise is coming from. This truly is a great way to narrow own a noise like this but....BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO INTERFERE WITH ANY MOVING PARS OR HOT ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. THINK SAFELY AND IF YOU DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE, TAKE IT TO A PROFESSIONAL. SAFETY FIRST.

Does 4x4 high work?
