In any gear as soon as you hit 3500 rpm, the engine cuts off as if it can't get gas or no spark?
As the rpm's drop it fires again but will quit as soon as it hits 3500 again,
If you keep trying, it will give you wiplash.
It does this intermittently.
Most mornings it will do so right off the get go and stop after driving for a while but if you turn it off and start again within a few minutes, it will do it again till you drive for a while. Once in a while it will start and run normal .
Codes were PO133 - o2 sensor,
PO 335 CPS, (this poster gets this wrong, 335 is crank sensor CKP and 340 is CMP) CMP kills spark dead, CKP never. (the suzuki page is here to prove that)
CMP is in the base of distributor if fails spark end. fuel ends engine dies
CKP is mounted to the front if engine at crank pulley front, this does NOT Kill spark but does cause small errors of timing , and DTC error to show that.
P0340 errors are catastrophic, this ends all spark with CMP goes dead. (or wires to it bad (fixkick comments RED
the key to find this is use the scan tool for sure while failing and keep the key ON so the scan tool can see all errors and push the pending button and DOME fuse must be good.
I replaced both and the o2 didn't repeat after that but the cps did.
Also showed PO 510 - closed tps the first time out but hasn't shown it in subsequent scans.
Any thoughts?
Oh yea, I was going to try and check out the wires from the CPS to the ECM but found that the colors on the CPS plug (blk/red dot and wht/red dot) do not match what the manual shows (org/blu line and wht/blu line) and I don't see either of the plug colors at the ECM.
yes colors vary and do not read DOTS those are county coded dots but is a big secret of suz. I guess you mean CMP, cam sensors, CKP I crank sensor on this car.
I know enough to be dangerous so any counsel is welcome.
there are only 2 ways to find this. prove spark fails or prove the FPR fails
if the car can be made to fail parked in the drive way say so and we find it using only 2 tools.
ok? fixkick me.
I have the same condition, sucks 45 mph.
96 sidekick, G16B, AUTO, W/16 pin auto trans, w/4 plug cpu IE 12/16/22/26 pin connectors
runs to 3500 and dies,12 volt power to pins 2 and 7 constant never wavers, tach feed #6 dies when condition accures, both grounds on pin 1 and 4 are solid. Grounds on D 26 pin 14 and 15 are solid, 14volt running on D 3 and .. no service code registured, SES bulb works key on engine not running, any help would be appreciated, Sorry I don't remember ECU #
