Welcome to the portion of Suzuki-Forums.com regarding Suzuki Sidekick, Escudo, Vitara & Geo Tracker Forum (1989-1998). If you’re here looking for help with your car, please read the following before you post your questions. Also, note that there is a search function that may yield the information you need quicker than posting a question.

Most of the participants in this forum are happy to help you and some even know what they’re talking about. In order to help you better, they’ll need to know exactly what kind of car you have. Because this forum serves owners of several different kinds of cars made by Suzuki for different countries, here’s what they’ll want to know: Country, year, make, model, engine size, number of valves, type induction, type of transmission, 2WD or 4WD and any other information pertinent to your question. Here’s an example: I have a USA 1989 Geo Tracker, 1.6 L with 8V, TBI, 5 speed manual and 4WD.

If your question regards your engine please state whether or not your CHECK ENGINE light is illuminated both before the engine is started (with key on) and after the engine is running. If your CHECK ENGINE light (also referred to as CEL) is on while your engine is running, please note all codes you have pulled. If you don’t know how to pull codes, you can learn more by visiting this web site generously posted by forum member jtgh (Jerry). Jerry’s site has a treasure trove of information.

We hope this advice makes your participation in this forum more pleasant for you and everyone else.

smash glasses. very well said and concise.
if you need help , say what car does good and bad.?
and if there is a problem are you able to hide the problem.?

slow driving, avoiding hills, Wide open throttle. ?
and
does it mess up hot and cold ( both the motor and the weather)?

this really helps with diagnosis.

if you need documents or spec . we can dig them up for you.

and welcome.

a long post is better , on cars.
as 20 short posts, it becomes hard to find all the facts , and after a day or two we forget. cars are complex and telling us the problem and history is well received.
and don't be afraid to say, you broke something.
Nothing ventured , nothing gained. (you are just like us)
cheers
