that one on craigs will sell fast , it's obd2(means all scan tools work) car, with very low miles.
first locate the DLC, on yours it be a 6pin next to battery, on that 97 its moved to right front head light shell rear.
#1 is always front of engine, near crank pulley. firing order is 1,3,4,2. do not mix wires up.
yes, 4 to 5 the page is fsm page, (real) and works.
has 6 pins, has a rubber cap. covering pins to keep out dirt.
an unbent paper click, fits perfectly
the hood sticker shows what your static timing is supposed to be. the EPA sticker is right there.

id proceed as if the state did do the timing correctly, (but many states do ,do it wrong)
I dont have their lists of tests?
here it would be if done right.
Engine at 180F.+ and holding ? (if not it will be rich, and will be wrong RPM) not 150F.
if wrong RPM then the timing will be wrong. (it varies by RPM, so......)
It's not in failsafe mod as timing is retarding in that mode.
when buying any car,
the CEL lamp glows key on, 1989 to now. "check engine lamp"
then goes out running, if not?, get a big discount.... Grin.!
Suzuki used this DLC up to 2004. (then moved the feature to scan tool screen , selections)
in 2005 Suzuki , started using precision CMP (cam)sensors to make timing no longer human adjustable.
new ZUKs? pre buy. testing:
CEL out running?
drives ok.? and in 4wd in dirt.? shifts to all gears, hot and cold engine (if A/T do both temps)
no smoke.
no engine shaking , no misfiring, no loss of power up hills.
brakes work perfectly.
on 96+ cars, you can fail smog for A/T transmission failures, (OD lamp flashes or stuck on, CEL on) The 0D on tells you A/T bad. on 3speed, they can fail you for TCC lockup in A/T dead.
in calif they can fail you for missing or wrong parts on engine (calif visual inspections are Tough) (say if some kid put on CAI intake mods !)
in calif they have this law that the seller must show car passes smog before a buy can buy it. did you know that, its a very unique law there.
In fact they will refuse to transfer title i think. (did they repeal that law?)
that same law , i think, (it was true) they seller can be charged the cost of smog repairs. if he attempt so sell it. with out smog passing.

, who is responsible for the inspection?
if you buy a car , with no smog paper good. (90 day rule) the car is not a car, it's scrap.
the rule here is.
"If you do sell it without a smog certification and it doesn't pass, the seller is responsible for repairing it to the smog certification standards. "
you can take them to small claims court and demand this....
i guess in calif, that is the first question from buyer, got the passing smog chit?
