[Alfredo1]

Hello

Just arrived to this forum from sweden, i bought a car for my kid (15y) it´s
a Suzuki Vitara i think it is a 2 door ? Win nr JSAETA51C00102587 can some tell me what year and the right modell it is? It have the J20A engine with 325000 km on odometer.

2, i have an issue whith cylinder nr 2, it have no spark, it has COP, chance the plugs- no differens, change COP from another cylinder- no differens...any clue ?

Maybe there are no signal from ECU to COP but how to now what number on ECU , i do not have any electric wiring sheet and no instructionsheet for faultysearch...anyone?

the VIN, JSA means made in actual Japan. I see this VIN lacks the year code, common outside USA but see my link)

compression on #2 would be next, 150PSI not 50 not 0.
then cop signals next. (you have no scope so seeing 5mS plus (5/1000'th) of a second lomg, will be hard !


Maybe there are no signal from ECU to COP but how to know that number on ECU , i do not have any electric wiring sheet and no instruction sheet for faulty search...anyone?
replacing the ECU is $400 , compression test $20, so is super easy decision...

Twin Cops: (not 4)
the cop is wired in series on the secondary side (called wasted spark setup and #1 fires with #4, and thus wasted)
so if one spark wire goes dead (open) or a spark plug dead open circuited, both plugs are now dead on that 1 cop.,
and if one is good, how is it possible for the cop primary signal dead, that kills dead the DUAL cop,

you have only 2 COPS right or is it 4 cops. I dont know, until I know full body tag data...
suzuki made both kinds of 4 cylinder engines with COPS . the pair or 4 cops total.....
