Engine Tune Up! GEO TRACKER

Changing spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap & rotor on the Geo Tracker 1.6L engine. An easy way to increase performance and fuel mileage on your vehicle! This process will be very similar on the Suzuki Sidekick & Samurai. If you have questions feel free to comment on the video!

So you don't get cooties falling into the cylinder, I usually just crack the spark plug open about one turn, pull the socket out, then blast compressed air into the hole. You would think that with the rubber seals on the plug wires nothing could get into the hole. Surprisingly, dust, corrosion, and dirt sometimes flies out. Once the hole is clean then finish removing the plug and tilt back that Miller!

[@markkoopsen538]

My 1.6 L tracker is leaking engine coolant from right above the oil pressure sending unit in the block. Yes it's a crack, not the freeze plug. I've checked. Is this Common? What are your thoughts of replacing this engine with something like, oh let's say a 4-cylinder turbo diesel?

Hello, I am looking for a 1996 working good condition Geo tracker engine. I live in Cleveland OH .....can you direct me somewhere? Thank you

[@billiemarie4119]

I have clicky starter and I replaced the starter not to long ago. It’s always started after a few try’s. But today I went muddying and after it wouldn’t click or anything, I had to push start🙈

[@speedfreak8200]

If you're mudding buy a reman starter with lifetime warranty, and find the video from this channel that covers in detail, the contacts on back of ignition switch 😀 👌

[@justinsandvig3181]

Whenever I buy spark plugs from the store they always give me the wrong size like won’t even fit down into the plug hole

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

Buying for the wrong engine. Need NGK plugs for 16 valve. 8 valve plugs will not fit

[@tripwire4727]

[@berlainazor2046]

Hi my friend i realy need your help

[@stevenb320]

Got a tracker for some reason ignition spark doesn't occur till the key is turned off then it sparks. New plugs, wires, distributor complete, primary ignition coil. Wiring to the starter and battery replaced. Thought it was just the distributor but doesn't seem right with it only doing spark when key is not being engaged. Turned key to start, No Spark. Let go and it then sparks. Odd issue

[@charlesfry6020]

So how different is this then a Suzuki x90?

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

Exactly the same

When I start up my zuk in cold weather the engine squeals like crazy for 20 seconds then goes away. Unless I run the heater then it squeals when accelerating. Possibly the serpentine belt? What’s your thought

Best coolant specs like 50/50 or 60/40 for geo trackers

I have a 97chevy geo tracker it needs an engine it has a 1-8L. Are there any bigger options you are the man to ask

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

Many Sidekick Sport owners with 1.8 are upgrading to the 2.0 or 2.3 suzuki engine If you have A tracker it has 1.6 engine. Nothing real easy to upgrade to with that set up but those engines listed are possible with modification

[@howardlittell8834]

@@Hwy83SUZUKI thank you sir someday I would like to have a beer with you.this tracker was fun to drive but it over heated and cracked the head before that only havin 1,6L.it had lots of power.with a2,3L it would be hard to what kind of mods you need to do to make that happen, I've built a few ratrodd before

When you do the timing with the light, do you clamp to #4 plug wire? I know the distributor is set at #4.
