1992 Mercury Tracer from North America - Comments

The A/C failed around 50,000 miles.

The car ran exceptionally well, when it suddenly began stalling for no reason. Sometimes the car would start, other times no. It then began stalling in traffic while I was waiting at a light.

It would take several tries to get the car going again.

After taking the car to 5 garages/dealerships & when none of them fixed the problem, I gave up & traded it in.

I would have liked to have kept the car longer, if it weren't for the 1 problem that no one could fix.

It was very roomy & a smooth ride.

I had a grand am with the same stalling problem, it went on for about 2 years and no one could understand what I was talking about... it finally happened with my mechanic in my car and they fixed it in about 30 seconds. if this ever happens again to anyone, tell them it is not gearing down (it is acting like a standard when you don't put the clutch in to change gears) and therefore stalling.

What did he do to fix it??

This has been a great car! However, over the past couple of years, I have been having this problem with stalling in traffic. I have changed the fuel pump once and the fuel filter several times. After the filter is changed the problem goes away for a while, but re-appears without warning. I have used a fuel additive for several years, but recently have stopped using it. In addition, a high pitch whine, like a vacuum leak, appears to be coming from under the car between the driver's door and the left rear tire. I only notice this after the car has been driven a while in traffic. I have recently had the transmission re-built, however, the problem persists. To this point, no mechanic seems to know what to do to fix the problem.

I had the same problem with my '97 Honda Accord I brought it to several places and everybody said it was something different in the end I had to sell it just to break even... and when I sold it was STILL stalling, it had no problems before this I don't know what happened.
