RE: Why does my 2000 Chevy Tracker with 20 engine die after it gets hot but restarts OK after cooling fo
I have been having the same issue for over 2 months and I finally found several website with other having the same issue. Their fix was to have the Cam Shaft Position Sensor replace and all was better. I sill be doing the same today.

If you want to test the senor, carry some water bottles and went it dies, get out and slowly pour the water over the sensor. It should cool the sensor down and allow the engine to start again.
This worked for me until I was convince to spend some more $$$ on replacing the sensor
This thread has helped me so much. I first looked at it in November but me being female not one listened to my thoughts on what was happening to my tracker. Well its June now and I finally got on the thread again reread the information and sent the link to my boyfriend. He calls a mechanic friend and finally after changing the fuel filter, flushing the injectors, changing the fuel pump they camshaft position sensor is indeed the problem. It finally threw a code yesterday and I don't have to sit for 30 minutes for it to cool off. I just pour water and get home. Finally going to be changed today. Then hopefully the only problems now are minor.

HELLO!
So glad to find this forum. My 2003 2.0 Tracker w/25469 mi started having same problem.
Originally, service engine light stayed on and diagnostics said this probably was catalytic converter............but not driveability issue.
Apparently, the cam sensor (switch?) is the culprit. HOPE SO.
Thank you all so much. I will report back.
ALSO, whether parked or driving, car begins to "shake and ????";
sometimes if give gas repeatedly, this will stop; otherwise, engine dies.
