I have a Geo Tracker with 120,000 miles. it starts without hesitation but idles a little high until warmed up. the problem is that it keeps dying without any warning. when it dies it smells like it has flooded. it takes a few minutes to get it started but then runs perfectly smooth again. If I haven’t driven it for a few weeks, it will go three for four days before it starts acting up.I changed out the Plugs, Plug wires, and fuel filter. ---

Given the age of the vehicle that sort of problem could be a bunch of things. I’d start by having someone pull the codes to see if the computer indicates a problem. My first hunch is an O2 sensor but again that’s just an educated guess. Changing plugs and wires wasn’t a bad idea as it probably needed those anyway but I wouldn’t keep throwing parts at it until I knew the correct parts that need replacing. ---

do we know if you’re losing spark, fuel, or both?
