Is the fuel pump running? When you turn the key to the run position (the dash lights come on), you should hear a humming sound coming from the gas tank for a few seconds. Thats the fuel pump running to pressurize the system before starting. It's kind of hard to hear, so get a friend to sit in the car while you lay on the ground near the gas tank. Have them turn on the key and listen. No hum means the fuel pump isnt working.

1992 geo tracker firing order diagram

there are 2 engines, watch out those rag books mix them in a toxic soup. ( a real FSM is cheap and far better (ask)
8v it the TBI engine, single injector. I restored a 91 to mint, condition.
why not use numbers, low means zero, 150PSI wide open throttle is normal, and more warm or hot.
the 8v dizzy turns backwards from the 16v
your rotor turns CW, clock wise, crank it and watch it....
so the wires must be laid down per last link below.
if lots of advice, in fact could get it going in 1hr or less. hands on.
when you put the belt in, did you use the right marks?
there are false marks there for other engine usage.
the 60a mark is correct the 80c is wrong.
if you get that wrong, there is no hope. thus this page

91 geo tracker died while driving and havent been able to get it started since

old post, still down? Melissa?
the starter must spin the crank shaft, does it?
my guess is the distributor rotor dont spin
and the cam belt snapped, (not replaced every 60,000 miles does that like clock work)
0 compression x4?
rotor dead?

Sounds like a timing problem....put a timing light on it to ensure the engine is in time. Otherwise, you may have a bad ignition control module (ICU/ECU)...computer. check the timing first...good luck

If you are not getting spark, I'd replace the pick up coil in the distributor-when you remove the distributor cap it is under the rotor, just lifts off and unplugs at the harness.

Is it possible that the computer on my 92 geo tracker is what's keeping it from starting???? will the engine turn but no strat????

turn the key to acc mode and if the check engine light is on then the computer is working. check for spark. listen for the fuel pump to turn on its in the back passenger side if both those work and you didnt mess with distributor plugs rotor or cap then you may have to bypass it. or the fuel injector could be clogged. take off the metal air intake to get to the fuel injector and pour a little gas directaly in and see if it starts. if fuel pump spark and pouring gas into were the fuel injector is then it might be a bad fuel injector or it needs to be bypassed.
