My 1995 Tracker will start but not stay running.

switch the ecm or brain from that vihicle to the other and thst should do it

Have garage put on computer for about 100$ before changing brain unless u got $ to spend.

It maybe an intake manifold or vacuum hose leak. It can also be valve clearance out of specification.

The flashing red light is usually an alarm system indicator. It may be an aftermarket product.

When was last tune up? Plugs, wires all fluids & filters - especially fuel filter??? I'd start there and run a good fuel system cleaner through it.

five may be too much and four may not be enough, do the oil change, add four start the engine let run for two minutes, then add to the full mark

Try replacing your brake light switch that is located at the top of the brake pedal arm. It might work if you wiggle or shake the switch but most likely you will have to replace the switch. good luck leave comment.

new battery....or alternator.....try boosting it if it starts leave it running and remove cables... if it quits when u remove jumper cables then u need alternator or check its fuseable link ........if it stays running it was your battery and your starter was probably ok i...u didnt need to change it or both starter and battery were bad ....starters kill batteries when they are failing and start to draw too much amperage from battery ...another quick way to tell a battery is dead,,,,,,is to look and see if its swollen or bulging...tis the season for batteries and alternaters ;-) good luck

IF IT RUNS AND STAYS running. then that means the car is flooding or is in a sad state of tune.
tune it up and it will start every time.
