2001 Chevrolet Tracker Logo
Posted on Sep 26, 2009

My 2001 Chevy Tracker quits running after a while and will restart after about 10-15 minutes. It originally runs rough after it restarts. I have been told to replace the camshaft sensor. Also, when I give the tracker gas I get a bad odor similar to ammonia.

Had the same problem with my tracker. Replaced the camshaft position sensor(easy to do yourself, takes about five mins.) Now can drive at highway speeds for about a half hour and stop at the gas station and she'll start back up and run fine. Before i had to wait at least 15-20mins before she would start. Also, if your service engine soon light is on take it to the national chain auto parts stores and they will hook up the code reader for free. The sensor runs about $120.

2003 chevy tracker starts ok cold; but when hot it starts and then stalls.

It could be a clogged catalytic converter or bad o2 sensor. go to autozone and have them scan it ( for free) and post what codes and probable fixes they give you (they'll give you a print out)

2000 Chev Tracker cuts off after running for a while. It does this at slow speed, like in traffic. Also, will not restart after running for a while. After about 15 minutes it will start.

I would change the fuel filter before anything else, however, a fuel filter would cause it to cut off no matter how fast you are driving.

When I approach stop light and press in clutch to shift down, car stalls. Battery light comes on. Sometimes will restart and be OK until next stop, other times will not restart until it "rests"...

if it is cranking and starting back i would say its not a batt or alternating problem

most likely the reason the batt light is coming on is because its idleing rough as it quits running if it were me i would just drive it to a dealer and save the toe bill

The van stalls without notice at times when ready

This sounds like a classic case of either a dirty/faulty IAC (Idle Air Control) motor or a sticking EGR valve. If you can prevent it from stalling by keeping your fot on the gas slightly and it always restarts right away and runs good when restarted, I'd suspect the IAC first. If it "chugs"when stopping and will run rough even with a little (not a lot) of gas pedal and/or it runs rough when restarted, I'd suspect the EGR.

Runs fine at startup, after warming up it dies at low speed 5-10

Fuel pump? That is odd, it seems there is no issue with getting fuel. I would check the idle and the choke settings. Try tweaking those a bit.

Headlight switch locatin?

The lights will turn on automatically in a minute or so after you start the vehicle. Their on all the time, when motor is running. To turn on manually ( I have a tracker) left switch (turn signal switch) turn nob on end of switch also to change from bright to dim pull turn switch towards driver gently.
