Hi guys , I am new here. I hope someone can help me. I have had major work done to my 2003 chevy tracker ( that I adore!) Most recent was a cam/shaft sensor replaced...( before that fuel filter, fuel pump... my wallet is crying out in pain) After they installed the new sensor... i noticed a new prob. Whenever I have my ac on, and brake at a light or ... Read More

Back in August, my AC compressor went out and I was told by a mechanic to wait until the spring to have it fixed. Since then, though, the engine has been making a thumping noise and a friend told me it looks like the noise is coming from the broken compressor. Also, I have dashboard and headlights that flicker and It's not the alternator or the battery. Any ideas?
2003 Tracker Convertible rear door unlocker

I've got a 2003 2 door convertible.............Has anyone here ever seen an aftermarket kit to add the rear door lock to the keyless entry system ? In other words, I would love to be able to lock and unlock the rear door along with the driver and passenger doors with either the driver door switch or the key fob..... I know I can't get one from Chevy, but the dealer said ... Read More
Thank you both for your responses. After dealing with the mechanic that was going to rip me off I called around and took it to some else. Within the hour they told me the cam sensor which is going to run like 450 with Labor and once they fixed that they did indeed say I need new converters. Not really so bad when you find out the EPA passed a law ... Read More

I have a 2003 chevy tracker with a v-6 that had the same problem, started out stalling and restarting right away then progressed to stalling and not starting for 30 minutes or better. No engine light and mechanics couldnt find the problem, did some research and found out that the camshaft position sensor would missread time and cause the engine to stall, I replaced it and no problem since.

this is a well known issue on the Tracker. I just got done replacing mine tonite (about 20 minutes). The part is an electronic part that is located inside the front passenger side bumper. It is secured by two 12mm bolts, has two vacuum lines and and electronic connector. It took care of part of the problem I have (the blinking, and not going into 4WH Drive. The part is available ...

2000 4 dr 4wd, 2.0L, 124,166 miles, changed oil yesterday putting in 5 quarts Pennzoil dinosaur juice and ~8 oz Lucas Oil Stabilizer. Right to the top line on the dipstick. That tiny little oil filter can may hold .5 L but I'm betting it's more like 2 oz! This little 4-banger uses about a quart of oil in 3000 miles now, but used up half a quart every 3000 when ...

Crosscutter, What engine do you have? I thought all '03 inlines were 2.0L DOHCs. If so, the oil capacity at change with filter is 5.5 US quarts, and 4 liters is only 4.2 quarts. Of course that would be low by a good lick on that dipsick. Each change with my 2.0L I put it 5 quarts of something-or-other with another can of an oil additive like STP for the other ... Read More
2003 Chevy Tracker - Oil Level Reads Low
Written by: crosscutter on Aug 4, 2009 12:15:43 PM
I just purchased the above mentioned vehicle and did a oil change. I added the correct amount of oil, 4 litres with filter and checked the dipstick and it only shows a little over half way to the full mark. I checked with Edmonston' Lemon-Aid book and it indicated this was a problem. Does anyone know if GM has a fix or will I just put a file mark on the ... Read More
Ever since we replaced the cam-sensor she has not had any problems. It has nothing to do with AC or Catalytic converter. The job cost us under $275 if I remember, and no more problems. They are dependable cars and she makes short runs around town and back and forth from VA to NJ. With peace of mind driving. The cam-sensor was the answer and after going to "3" dealerships...I found ... Read More

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

I have a 2003 Chevy Tracker, 2liter, 4door, fuel injected with 60k miles. It works great most of the time. sometimes after driving for a while and stopping for a few minutes it will not start, it turns over tries to start but cant.

Towing
Written by: poorcruzer on Apr 13, 2008 3:38:23 PM
We all know engineers underrate their tow ratings for vehicles. The reason Chev does is obvious as they want you to buy a bigger truck. Can't have a small Chevy truck pulling the same as a full size half ton P/U. Here's where the conspiracy theory comes in. I bet you seven ways to Sunday Chevy "CONVINCED" Suzuki to match their underated tow rating for the Grand Vitara. My 2003 2.5L ... Read More
Have a 2003 Chevy Tracker. The Oil light is coming on ONLY when the vehicle has warmed up (live in MN) and when coming to a stop. Not on otherwise. Had a recent oil change and check it frequently - plenty of oil. 2 diagnositcs by Tires Plus found nothing. Any ideas? Thanks!
I have an '03 Chevy Tracker, recently started to give trouble - wasn't putting out heat from heater. I have changed thermostat - no change. It will blow cold air from heater then suddenly switch to heat for a minute then switch back to cold and so on. Any idea's? Then system is very clean, nice green coolant.... Craig8186

Sweet Jes*s what a thing to attempt. I am sure glad I bought the G.M service manual if I ever have to do that operation. He didn't mention in his site as to how many miles were on the rig before this noise took place. With the tensioners on the chain gone, what was stopping the chain from skipping teeth? If this happened, I wonder if the valves would begin to ... Read More

Why not buy one? The Trackers and Sidekicks and later the Vitarra are all built by Suzuki and some of them in the joint GM -Suzuki plant in Canada. They have been around since 1989 and we have owned 6 or 7 of them between myself, my wife and son. The 4 door is very handy and a nice size and economical for this type vehicle.
