It's nice to meet you.
So, I took a chance a purchased this as a project. It was way less money than what I sold my Tracker for so I had some money to fix it up. I was looking for a smooth running engine, 4x4 and AC. It had those things. It had a solid, "service engine soon'' light on but everything seemed pretty normal. The owner said he had to bypass the alarm with a jumper fuse at some point and that is why the light came on, but I figured it was something else. Come to find out the code was for "trouble communicating with TCM". It was also low on trans fluid but didn't leak. It also had a broken leaf spring and the front bumper looked to be pushed in some by the towbar they had. I think it idles a little high in Park and Neutral.
I replaced:
Leaf Springs, shocks and struts, rear window regulators, coolant overflow tank, radiator fan, tires, bumper and grill. I have a used TCM on standby. Trying to bring this vehicle back to life.
Here it is as of now.
