Hi People Im new here. My Question is How long does the 2000 tracker 2.0l 2x4 last. the problem was the *spark plug was loose and was *damage inside the engine. I got it fix by putting a heli-coil to fit a new set of spark plug. (it was the 3rd cylinder) I've been driving this car for 20 miles+ (8300 miles total) after it was fix. While driving, between 2nd to 3rd gear or between 25-45 mile per hour, the engine start making this clanking noise...Im afraid that it might give me more problems..
Our 2000 Tracker has 42K miles and only a few problems. I've changed the plugs, and #3 is difficult to get to due to the frame cross-over bar that goes over the spark plug well. I had to be careful to remove and install this plug to avoid cross threading it. A heli-coil may hold for a while, but many times they come loose, so I'd say you should either get the cylinder head repaired or replaced, or start looking for another Tracker.
well well well....after an excruciating months of trying to get this vehicle fix....(2000 tracker 2.0l 2x4), I figured out that its not worth keeping this gas gussling vehicle...although it still have some minor engine problems to it, I decided to trade-in it to a TOYOTA Corolla 06... the best choice I've made so far...ha ha..and plus this Corolla gets 30-41 miles per gallon on its 1.8 liter engine.. nice=) gas prices were up to 3.25 a gallon... =(
