Suzuki Sidekick and Trackers 1.6 Liter. There
is none, really the ECU does this automatically, but if the Dutycycle
is off, then it must be done. 99% of all idle errors are EFI fueling issues, (wrong) misfire or vacuum leaks. Idle
speed hot is the last to work right, all else must be correct, first. If 1989/90' motor has idle
issues, go here. Setting the Dutycyle on all 1992 and newer Sidekicks. ( if found off ) (I list all causes, here) I may call the throttle body, "TB" as a short hand. This page covers the location of the bleed screw, for the newer 91'+ 8valve TBI engines. The above newer side kicks is at above link. AIR Bleed SCREW: 8
valve 91-95 1.6L
The new car has a plactic cap on it, on all
Suzuki's
As is the ISC side screw (allen hex).
Only fiddle the bleed for 50% dutycycle. If you mess up the throttle stop screw, here
is my 8v factory screw
measurment. (off 3 spare bodies, still unmolested) 0.250" The valve is really 99.99% closed, the tiny
open , only prevents JAMS and fast wear of bore. (it's a factory
1991+ setting , leave it be) This photo is to recover the actions of
others. I'm told in the factory they set it with a flow bench, for very very tiny flows, "miniscule" and is a SECERT. (Other car makers set this to .0005" gap at the bore to fly valve) This too may work good. SUZUKI does not help, with facts here. The 1989 and 1990 engine has a unique TB , throttle body with NO BLEED screwSee here for all early Sidekick ISC checks. Tests: (out of 91 FSM , factory service manual ) for idle regulation. With
the engine idling, turn the air
conditioning system
ON and note the engine idle speed rises 200 rpm. rule 1: If the TPS idle switch is not signaling IDLE, then idle regulation will be dead. rule 2: The ECU in limphome mode (even wth CEL not glowing running) will stop idle controls from happening. In the years 1989/90 there are many fast idle devices , unlike 91+ , and they are Head lights and Defrost, click here for all 89 differences. The misc. fast idle speed on a 89/90 is 950
RPM. The A/C idle speed should rise to 1000 rpm,
otherwise there may
be a malfunction in the A/C ON signal circuit. (from the A/C AMP
module.) Now turn on the headlights and Heater fan
and or defroster,
the RPM must hold at 800.! (89/90 go to 950 RPM) The power steering overload switch must NOT
be active full
time (faulty switch) or idle will be too high.
ISC Basic functions listed: IAC is thermal only device, the ISC is electric. The ISC , provides extra air with IAC (opens with more current) at startup. If this doesnt happen starting can be hard and flooding can happen, if IAC or ISC is dead. The ISC , closes ( low current) the ISC and EGR are used to stop neck snap effect when you you cut the throttle greatly going fast. (the so called "dash pot effect" ) The ISC does work between shifts of the transmission. Last the ISC controls the idle ,while at idle, under any load condtions. Electrical loads or in PARK or Drive. ISC killers : The ISC, can lose control ,even though , the valve itself is in perfect condition.
