If you have an automatic transmission, I would check 1) the fast idle thermo-valve. 2) the starting air valve, and 3) the IAC valve. The IAC valve and the Fast Idle valve are on the front of the cover that has PGM-FI on the top. They are connected at the bottoms by small water hoses. The starting air valve is at the right hand end (facing the car) of that cover. All of these valves affect your starting air mixture, in one way or another. They get dirty, or the vacuum hose to the starting valve might start leaking.
You will probably need a manual (Haynes) to go through checking procedures. It has good pics and describes what to do, but many owners simply take the two bolts out of the IAC valve and out of the Fast Idle Valve, pull them back without disconnecting the water hoses, and spray the insides of them (especially the screen in one of the two IAC holes) with a good dose of carb cleaner, reassemble and see if that makes things better. The vacuum hose on the starting valve should be carefully checked. .
Hope this gets you started on a fix.

I need a mechanic with personal experience on a 2000 chevy tracker. I've driven a few of them and they all had this bad vibration at idle so it becomes common on 90k miles and above. Vibration is a...

Great question. Well written. Easy to understand, (unlike many others we get) This is a pretty well laid out problem for a specific fixya expert with expertise on that model car. That may require a detailed answer. But you have come in as Anonymous person. I thing you would get a better response if you had a real name.
From my experience, I know I prefer to leave anonymous people unanswered.
Good Luck

99 maxima v6 3000. Runs great once running. Lots of power and pep. The problem is getting it started. Even with a charger hooked to the battery when cranking the engine over it jerks and skips like it...

I would say either a worn out distributor, or stretched timing belt will cause those issues. Once running the computer compensates for the timing slop.

94 jeep grand cherokee front end vibration

Many things will cause vibrations, especially on 4WD trucks. Causes include: worn ball joints, worn tie rod ends, bent wheels, tires out of balance/shifted belt in tire, worn steering dampener, worn u-joints, worn CV joints, engine problems such as engine misfire, a bad fuel injector clogged fuel filter or injectors, worn ignition parts, etc. I suggest you apply the service brake in gear and give it a lot of throttle (power-brake)to determine if the engine is running smoothly or if it runs rough. Also, with the hood up, you can see the shaking if it occurs. If rough, check everything over and repair as necessary. If smooth, start checking ALL other vehicle systems and repair as necessary.

A lot of vibrations from rear axle

Have the tires checked and balanced first. Check for flat spots on the tires. Run your hand on the tire to see if it is smooth.

Tramission confort and power switch What is this switch for? It is located on the consoule of my used new to me and I do not know what to do with this nor what it is used for. Any info on this would be...

The function of that switch is to change the gear ratio. If you keep it on COMFORT then the car will run smooth actually this smootheness is cuz the gear changes rapidly & results in smooth engine sound & also economical in fuel & while the other hand the POWER switch will change the gear at high RPMs & therefore more engine noise & more fuel consumption.
