Mr. Fixkick,
Long time listener, first time caller.
I have a 1997 Tracker 4wd Auto, with a transplant 16v (G16B I believe). I bought to convert to a forklift, so I removed the body behind the rear axle, and relocated all components. No symptoms arose during these changes. It lives outside, and in the past year has developed a hard start that has gotten progressively worse. Now it is super-crazy hard to start and I only manage by cranking with gas pedal in various positions for 15 minutes. At first I hear only starter spin, no cranking sound. Giving a little gas makes it cough once. Flooring it makes it cough a little more often. Sometimes it will cough on its own, while in between tries, like it's not getting enough of something but builds up a little after multiple cranks. Eventually it turns over and runs really rough, dying without gas pedal. A minute of this and boom, purs like a kitten, idles great, no complaints. It will start up easily within a couple hours. A day later, back to square one.
New rotor, wires, starter, battery is charged. Codes 0113, 0135 and 0335. There is no CKP sensor, no wire that I can see.
If you can offer some guidance, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Darren
