Q: Tracker
Where can I find the tracker on my car?
My car has 23000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
Generally, you will want to check for places where people can quickly and easily retrieve these or install them. Look in places such as fender wells, behind or under bumpers, under seats, inside glove boxes, etc. There ae also special tools used to detect the signals that are emitted from these tracking devices. I would recommend having an expert from YourMechanic come to your location to remove this device.

When we start the car, the engine shakes and makes a noise. In about 5 seconds, it cuts off. What's the problem?
In general, the engine vibration you're referring to is caused by a restriction of fuel flowing into the engine.
