1998 Chevrolet Tracker Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1998 Chevrolet Tracker has more configurations to account for than the engine bay suggests. One engine appears, the naturally aspirated 1.6L SOHC inline-four of 98 cubic inches, but it is fitted to two bodies — a two-door and a four-door sport utility — across four trims: Base, Delux, LSi and Lux. The engine chapters therefore stay constant while the body, interior and electrical sections split by body and equipment level, which is where the applicability note has to be read before a part comes off.

Known issues on the 1998 Tracker. Thirteen complaints stand on the federal record for this year, spread evenly rather than concentrated: three on the engine and engine cooling, three on the power train, three on the electrical system. Numbers that small describe scattered individual failures, not a defect running through the fleet. They do point at three areas the manual treats heavily — cooling system pressure and thermostat testing, driveline service with its torque figures, and the wiring diagrams and component tests that make an electrical fault traceable instead of a matter of replacing parts in sequence.
