Low fuel pressure tops my list.
does the cluster lamp CEL glow , key
then go out, running (idling) it must
of not that means scan me , if in usa, are you?
in canada its different.
this engine makes power in limhome mode.
so my guess , low fuel pressure. the FPRs are failing now
this old, btw
it can stick open and pressure drops to 15psi and not 35,45psi.
btw , that was guess, and as most guesses, useless.
i do the tests, and least the results tell me truth.
i can rattle off, 10 top reasons or or even 50 , inside engine.
Low power has many causes, does it help guessing?
there are like 1 to 10 tests, to do and bam, cause.
folks that love to guess, send endless useless cash.

I i can tick off many top causes
your engine dont read my list it does what it wants. fate, miles, abuse, bad service, endless this topic. truely.
1: needs a tuneup.,
2: compression (cyl) low, its and old car.
3: maf dirty
4: low fuel pressure FPR , is toasted.
5: cat melted.
6: huge vacuum leak , in the main induction and Air fuel ratio goes super lean.
that top pipe for air on top engine loves to fail
and large number of ways, and all LEAK AIR.
I seen over 10 like this. even broken mount to it and sucking air like mad.
those are the top fails as is a slipped timing belt
but that is part of the tuneup, its replaced at 60kmiles, if you skip this service point it fails.
it slips and compressing drops by 1/2 and so does power. seen 100s like that.
why not just get car serviced if you dont own mech. tools?

Symptoms of a bad tps

old post. but....
a great question, but on a tracker , the TPS , has 2 parts inside
cascaded as one part. so that makes answers harder.
the tests are here.
http://www.fixkick.com/sensors/tests/TPS-testing.html

  1. idle switch bad, means, idle never regulates.
  2. end idle side.
  3. throttle angle side, is complex. (as seen in scan tool)
  4. it detects drivers fast right foot actions and enriches fuel this prevents the hesitation, when you accelerate. if bad it does just that. but does still have full power up hills (after small hesitation) due to the MAF sensor seeing reality and correcting the TPS (errors) see?
  5. the TPS also triggers. cut fuel mode when you decelerate,
  6. and triggers cut off of EGR and .
  7. and triggers , anti snap your next mode , when you decelerate too fast it adds air via the ISC to prevent violent Deceleration.
  8. I told you it was complex the FSM book from Suzuki and GEO both stated all that. on the TPS page.

get the Factory Service manual, real, and see those pages.

My 1996 geo tracker won't stay in 4 wheel high

what does that mean? 2wd to 4wd fails, sure.
my guess, is you are on PAVEMENT (not ice,. or dirt?)
and never read the operators guide?
http://ge.tt/7WrBuI91/v/0?c

nor this?

this car is part time 4wd it is not AWD , full time all wheel drive.
and most not be driven on dry pavement in 4wd. or 4Hi, 4LO

http://www.fixkick.com/part-time-test.html

or you will break good parts.

1990 geo tracker There is a little button at the base of the

could be a hold button to hold that gear or a overdrive button or traction control. i would drive it up to 55 mph and click the button in if the car revs up or shifts its a overdrive button or traction control. I would leave it unclicked.
