Geo Tracker Car Repair Questions and Answers

Question:    1993 Geo Tracker 4 cyl four wheel drive Automatic 30056 miles. what is a manual hub and where do I find it to change to 4wd?

Answer:    Manual hubs are located in the center of the hub where the front wheel mounts. Should have 2 marks on it "lock" and "free" turn with your hand or if too tough, carefully use pliers

Question:    1996 Geo Tracker 4 cyl four wheel drive Automatic 120,000 miles Left rear brake drags and gets hot. Right front also drags slightly. Replaced left rear wheel cylinder. When left rear shoe adjusts, they drag again. Return springs seem fine. Is this a master cylinder issue? Any way to repair or fix this without replacement? Could I just flush the system or examine the master cylinder for anything that's broken or not in place?

Answer:    You can check the injector pulse with a node light. There are also some relay's that could be bad, or try some sitar in the throttle body, if it runs a few seconds and dies, the fuel pressure or injectors. If it doesn't fire at all, then spark, distributor equipped cars have an ignition module that can go bad. Module is located inside the distributor, believe it or not you can buy a reman'd distributor w/new ignition module cheaper than the module itself.

Question:    I have a 1991 Geo Tracker and the fuel gauge never moves, it stays at 3/4 full at all times. Any suggestions on what may be causing this?

Question:    I have a 96 Geo Tracker with about 150,000 on it when I got up this morning and started to drive the car I heard a strange noise coming from the dash around the speedometer suddenly it jus went from the normal speed I was going to 100 then when I slowed down it went back to normal but as soon as I tried to go over 35 it acted up again so I'm no sure if its the Sensor or the Cable

Question Follow Up:    I opened the dash and changed the cable but i think its were the cable goes in that is the problem anyone know where i can get the part do i have to go directly to the Chevy Dealership or can I get from a salvage place?

Question:    My Geo Tracker '94 with 50,000 miles is stuck in park. It start nicely but when I push the back drive button it is still stuck in park. I took the steering wheel and pushed the back drive cable to its full range with no help. All fuses are good.

Answer:    There is a little cover on the left side of the shifter console. Remove the one screw and if you reach inside you'll find a short lever that you move (i think towards the rear) one way or the other and that will manually release the shifter if your key is on and the brake is depressed. Now you can take it to somebody that can diagnose your trouble.

Question:    95 geo tracker 160,000 miles, 1.6L, check engine light just came on, went to check the codes, with a snap-on code checker, and it said there was a 6 pin connector , by the left strut tower at the firewall that needed 2 pins shorted, I cant find it, how do I check the codes?

Answer:    The connector on my 95 geo is actually just in front of the battery at the bottom center. It has a rubber cover over it. If you short the same ones as when you time the car then you need to run a wire between number 4 and 5 holes. Begin number one with the hole with nothing in it and count left to right.

Answer:    I assume the battery is good. There is a switch that when the clutch is depressed, will allow the key to start the motor cranking.
