1992 Geo Tracker Check Engine Light

I recently took my 1992 tracker to the mechanic as my check engine light came on. The car was running somewhat rough when idlling and tach was jumpy.

Mechanic couldn't communicate with the car's computer and didn't want to start changing out parts in order to save me the expense. I only use the tracker for trips to the beach and not as a road car. In the past, it's been running great--very dependable.

Any suggestions...I was thinking of changing out the rotor...don't understand why the car's computer won't talk with the mechanics diagnostics.[/quote:77ad1ac691]

Hi Nathan,

Can you tell me exactly what the mechanics reader said? Did it say that the Scan Test is Incomplete? Or unable to Communicate with Vehicle.

Hi Nathan, Please post responses here in forum. I only check my email about once a week cause I am on here at least once a day. Ok, Here is something to try.... Find the Duty Coupler under the hood(pic below) With key off jump terminals 2 and 3 then turn key to on position and count engine light flashes. codes will flash 3 times. just watch for the pauses it should look something like this.... Flash short pause flash flash or Flash flash short pause flash flash then there will be a longer pause before next code. Post findings.... Use "CTRL" and the "+" to zoom in and the "-" to zoom back out.

My engine light was lit up when I bought my `92 Tracker 4X4. I finally had the ECU/ECM replaced and it took care of that problem and some other minor quirks.
