2001 tracker overheating what might be the cause

It sounds like your 2001 Chevy Tracker with a 2.0 liter engine may be experiencing a problem with the ignition system. If one of the coils is overheating and melting, it is likely that there is a fault with that particular coil or with the circuit that supplies power to it.
Some potential causes for this issue include:

• A faulty ignition coil
• A short circuit in the wiring to the ignition coil
• A malfunctioning ignition control module
• An issue with the spark plugs or ignition wires

I recommend having a mechanic diagnose the issue in order to determine the root cause of the problem and recommend the necessary repairs. It is important to address any issues with your vehicle as soon as possible to avoid further damage and to ensure your safety while driving.

Hi Mr. Bob Kendall. No , a knock sensor will not cause a car to over heat . A stuck closed thermostat , cooling fans not working , clogged cooling system , could be the gauge is reading wrong . A bad knock sensor would cause the check engine light to come on . Also would probably set a DTC - diagnostic trouble code .
I just have to mention Mr Kendall , back in 1984 i got my start as a Automotive .technician at Bob kendall chevrolet in Vancouver , Washington . lol that's funny .

Go under the vehicle and check the four wheel drive linkage.

Yes it does but only indirectly. Keep in mind the PCM is the very least likely part to cause a problem with the speedometer. The common problem is the tiny little motor that moves the needle files.

Replace the Radiator cap and see what happens, it may have a weak pressure relief spring.

Duplicate post.

This is caused by one of the things you already replaced , including the A/C compressor and power steering pump. Or it could be from a wrong size or over stretched belt.

Hi,If you are mechanicly inclined replacing the timing belt should be simple ,If the car still runing be sure to aling the timing marks perfect and make a note of the position in a piece of paper,If not you can get the specs at the auto parts where you get the belt ...YES they can jump do to wear and they can cause valves to bend ,this can also cause major engine damage....
