1993 Mercury Tracer Reviews, Pricing & Specs

93 mercury tracer wagon will not turn over

The engine will not turn over, just bought a new battery, starter sounds fine. I have had a similar problem with it a couple months ago which I solved by moving the steering wheel up and down but it hasn't worked this time. I'm almost fed up with it but can't afford nor get it to a mechanic. Please help.

Transmission Problems BIG TIME! Shifts then won't shift! HELP PLEASE!

I have a 1993 Mercury Tracer wagon, 4 cylinder (smallest one) and I have an unusual problem. When I put it in drive and take off, it won't shift to 2nd gear, it just stays in 1st. Then I have to put it in neutral then back to drive (the drive in the circle, overdrive I guess it is), and then it shifts to the next gear. BUT: after about 3 to 4 seconds it goes out of gear completely. I have to do this sometimes only once, sometimes up to 7 or 8 times until eventually it straightens out and shifts shifts normally. It shifts nomally until I have to stop and put in park. Then when I drive it again, it starts all over again. There is no slipping of the gears, the bands are tight, everything seems normal other than the shifting issue. I was told to flush the transmission (transaxle) and that would probably cure my problem. I had a friend who is a mechanic change the transmission fluid and replace the filter but to no avail. Is changing the transmission like flushing it or is there more to it than that? I've also had someone tell me the transmission is computer controlled and someone else said it's a linkage issue. At the advice of another friend, I even tried a container of something called TransX but that didn't work either. I'm totally confused now. Can anyone tell me what I REALLY need do to fix the transmission? This is a transmission from a junk car. I had to replace the original one because it was completely worn out. I'm at wits end! Please, can someone out there instruct me on what I need to have done to fix it? Thank you

1993 Mercury Tracer 1.9L

Bought a '93 Trader 1.9L from salvage who said the fuel pump needed replaced as well as timing belt. Replaced both and car won't run. I can blow in the line from the pump and it'll come out at the filter, can blow through the filter as well as the fuel rail. Any suggestions on where the problem is and how to fix it?

do you have to take the trans pan off to change the filter in a 1993 mercury tracer wagon 1.9L

does my 1993 mercury tracer auto trans have a trans filter
