I have been having a problem with my Tracker which started at Dothan. After it warmed up it started to buck and misfire. It ran fine when cool. After I got home it progressively got worse. I assumed it was ignition but I couldn't find the problem. I finally took it to a garage. They found the problem. The throttle position sensor was acting up when hot (part cost $340). They also found that the air flow sensor was testing bad (part cost $90). The total bill was $838. $300 for labor and $518 for parts and tax, $20 fuel for test driving.
Apparently the TPS affects a lot of things on that model. From 1995-1998 they used the expensive TPS. I was also having trouble starting the engine with a key. I had assumed that it was the neutral safety switch so at Dothan I rigged up a push button switch which worked well. However, after installing the new TPS the key starter switch now works well again. Years prior to 1996 use a much less expensive TPS.
That was a lot of money for the repairs but it now runs well and I will be able to use it for a toad again.
