Congratulations Mike. The folks that bought it are thrilled with their purchase as well and it's certainly gone to a good home. Thank you for another great video.
Well done Mike you brought Barbie back from the Dead . It was a mess, with the engine in pieces ,but you made it all fit ,and made that lady happy. Good work my friend.
Wow, I hate to see it go. However, that is what this channel is all about. U have to sell them to get new content. LOVE IT! Great series, Mikey. Keep it up!
Hope you got good money for it! You put a LOT of work and parts in it, great job as always! Nice that it went to a new owner that will love and cherish it!
I miss cars like that. Wanted a Suzuki Samurai when I was a kid, and these look fun too. If James May could drive one through the Amazon, it would be good enough for a commuter.
There is also an enrichment valve when the AC is on or the defrost is on when you turn the fan on or the blower for the heater / AC so that can also cause an erratic idle issue it seems a bogus signal to the throttle position sensor I have also experienced a weak alternator causing an erratic idle issue😊
Well done on selling the Geo Tracker during the summer and to a buyer that appreciates the nostalgia and unique design. I would advise the new owners to go with the factory steel wheels. They are designed to keep the Tracker at a specific ride height and width to mitigate roll-overs during emergency maneuvers. You are a good person ethically to fix the things that were worn and broken before selling it. Without any troubleshooting my guess is the idle air control valve/sensor is not working correctly. Spark plug wires may look okay from the outside but must be inspected for tears and cracks in the boot. Also inspect the outer silicone/rubber sheath for cracks and de-lamination. Also the resistance per foot of a spark plug wire increases with age and heat. If the resistance numbers are too high, the full voltage/amps wont be delivered to the spark plug gap.
You lost out on the Maserati that’s too bad !! There will be another diamond in the rough needing some MWK love… keep it up you should be well in track to 100,000 subscribers by December 31 2023 ! 🎉❤
Mike, enjoy your videos, always give them a 👍. Been watching Randy's from beginning. Ben a Benz fan along time and a variety sports cars and cars , Have been a Dealer myself back in the day. liked your video with you and Missy. Interesting you two were king and queen of CE Donhart high School in Stillwater in 91. I too am graduate Stillwater High school and attended OSU. You and Missy did a good Video together. The two of you should due another.I lived in OKC many years and in Oklahoma must of my Life. Moved to Vermont 6 years ago, to be near my Grandkids. Looking forward to your Tech videos. Best of luck! Tell Randy I said hello. Vermont Wayne 😊
Most of the time erratic idle is caused by either the throttle position sensor or a sensor that has to do with the air-conditioning😊 enrichment valve or the throttle kick up
Mike I can't believe you you sold the tracker😮🤔😲😁 well I understand you do have to come up with new content and if you didn't really drive it much or have any use for it that would be one of the most easy to sell they are very popular among certain groups desert dwellers and four-wheel-drive enthusiast🎉🎉 congratulations I hope you get the car you're speaking of that would be awesome whatever it is I'm sure it'll be good😊
My dog goes mad when he spots Lola glad u got car sold before. Could finish hope you made a profit you deserve it well done keep being yourself and don’t change way you are
G'day Mike, whatever happened to that Jaguar that you bought? That looked so interesting. Keep up the good work, as you deserve for your channel to grow and for you to make a good living from it.
Who taught you math? You asked us if you wasted $30 on the rotor and distributor cap. Well, for starters, you didn't waste $30 because a) you more than likely can return the parts and b), which is the most important point, $19 + $12 is NOT $30!!!😂 Thank you (courtsey). I'll be here til Friday😅 Seriously, Mike, you make your video's most entertaining and I love that you include Lola, Beemer and Beezus in the vids.
I bet the next time you see an odd car in hot pink instead of laughing, you will buy it. Funny what ends up with so many views. Rarer than most supercars and everyone loved it. Your fan from far away Wichita but lived in BA for a while. Thanks
So I figured it out 98 to 2003 the Dakota RT was the high horsepower v8 small truck they called it the mighty dak😮😅 they're absolutely a neat and fun little truck good for about 300,000 miles they didn't fall apart instantly there is a Banks version of this truck banks did a supercharged ❤🎉 03 Dakota i😲😲🤔🙄😳👀🧐 to do believe and it was one heck of a truck♥️😉😎🤠
Not sure why I want to see somebody work on a Geo Tracker but I can’t stop watching
It's Mike's personality. He could be working on a cardboard box. It'd be pretty enjoyable!🎉
Congratulations Mike. The folks that bought it are thrilled with their purchase as well and it's certainly gone to a good home. Thank you for another great video.
Well done Mike you brought Barbie back from the Dead . It was a mess, with the engine in pieces ,but you made it all fit ,and made that lady happy. Good work my friend.

Even got the idle working nicely! 👍
Lola is gonna be sad for a while without her car!
Congratulations on the sale! That paint came out great!
The engine bay looks great.
Well done Monkey Balls,....your painting skills inside the house with no mask have improved too.
There is also an enrichment valve when the AC is on or the defrost is on when you turn the fan on or the blower for the heater / AC so that can also cause an erratic idle issue it seems a bogus signal to the throttle position sensor I have also experienced a weak alternator causing an erratic idle issue😊
Was looking forward to seeing you cruising the blvd. and see if you'd give up the Benz life.
Glad she found a good home! Please make updates about sold cars a regular thing. Usually they just disappear without a word...
Sad to see the Barbie mobile gone. Tell Randy to see you his mystery vehicle. Lol

Loved the videos of the Barbie car. Did Lola get her ride in it?
Always taste parts after removable from engine. MWM tip #412.
Lola was the best part of video

That top is not too bad just a little bulky.
👍
I would paint that Tracker Dark blue with clear lacquer. Then add a turbocharger.
Flat black for the turquoise!
What happened to the high idle? Maybe a vacuum leak? You sold it that way?
