2000 chevy tracker no start Recieved a free tracker, with the only repair stating needed being timing. Confirmed on dohc that timing was 180deg off. Last weekend took off the timing cover and set timing to tdc. Back probed coils. Good New battery Have confirmed spark, strong. Pumping gas while cranking produces fuel smell at plug hole. Gave not confirmed wet plugs yet. Truck was free and has 150k miles. Please probe my brain Thanks!

you forgot to say hot or cold engine so is 2 answers.
they had 3 engines that year (the nn = liters)
G16, 16valve i4
j20 dohc i4
H27 v6
nobody on earth can guess the engine, and is an engine question
2000 is 100^% normal on any cold engine, 1500 to 2500 range cold
based on coolant temps -30f to 180f.
the colder it is at starter the faster the idle, and is AIC controlled
when hot the engine ecu goes to full hot (normal ) engine rpm controls using the ISC.
the exact parts are not the same on the 3 engine ever.
next time tell engine and if RPM is cold engine or hot.

btw I owned all 3 cars before, so have full documentation on them.
and restored them too. and can field most questions.

Check the distributor

if you have not changed the camshaft position sensor you need to do that sounds exactly like my problem got the new fuel pump and filter in there and it was fine for a month then same thing started happening again, been fine for 7 months since I changed my camshaft position sensor

The camshaft sensor wouldn't explain the clattering noise. But a timing chain would explain both. Clattering from a loose chain and the camshaft sensor code from when the chain broke and the camshafts stopped turning.

the fuel filter for a 2000 chevy tracker is situated along the fuel tank surface facing the front of the vehicle.

it is a good idea to depressurise any fuel system before working on it to avoid injury.

For the 2000 Chevrolet Tracker:

Most modern vehicles have the Belt Routing Diagrams on the undeside of the Hood. But the sometimes disappear.

I do not know if you have the 1.6L In-Line 4-Cylinder, or the 2.0L DOHC In-Line 4-Cylinder. Nor what Engine Options you have (AC/No AC, etc.).

usually egr sensor goes bad sometimes tube best to use new parts old ones may not work andwork short time

i drive a 2000 chevy suburban, the way i turn off my running lights is i push the dome over head lights button four times and u will hear a ding and that indicates that they have been turned off. I usually wait for the suv to start up then i press it four times to make sure i hear the ding!!
