Back at home today, and as I found a used starter for $40, I decided that I`ll buy it and use it until spring. This will allow me to move the Tracker if I need to. It will also give me time to decide if I try to save my Tracker of if I use it as a spare parts for the Sidekick. The starter on the Tracker is new from last year.
The engine of the Sidekick isn`t the problem, it was running very well and I can crank it by hand. The battery was also tested and it`s good(new from last year). There`s rust all over the old starter so it was prob dead. however I`ll test it this week so I`ll know what was the problem with it.
Too cold today or tomorrow to install the starter (-25C with winshield) but I should be able to do it this wednesday and then bring this little 4wd in the garage for more work/test on it.
Can`t wait to see if IAC,ISC,DP, EGR system etc are doing their job correctly. going to make many test then I`ll know the list of things to do.
