1997 vitara
#22
finally i have fixed the multible problems with my car. it runs just like it ran out of the dealership. so ill begin with what i replaced. i tested the tps and it was glitchy, so i replaced with a factory tps. tested the fuel pump and it to was not up to spec pressure and i stalled a new bosch pump and blew out the fuel lines. i tested the ecu temp sensor and it to needed replacing with a new thermostat and rubber gasket. it ran a bit better but still something wasnt right. i then cleaned the isc and it ran a bit better, but still not idling properly. i checked the maf sensor and found the plastic cap had been removed and it was full of dirt and was getting high and low voltage codes, so i replaced with a new one. scaned for codes and they were gone. but still the car wasnt going as it should. then i removed heat sheild on exhaust manifold and found no 4 was cracked almost right around. i replaced that with a set of extractors and new o2 sensor. but still not right. so i checked the plugs and no 1 plug was clean, so i tested the new leads and all tested with in spec. so i started the car and pulled the injector plugs and no change in no 1 when removed. so i swapped no 1 and no 2 leads and sure enough no 2 was now not making a difference when the injector plug was removed. took the leads back and received a refund and installed ngk leads and the car runs and idles like it should. the car runs better than when i bought it. i have had idling issues with the car since i bought it. but now i could put a 20 cent coin on the rocket cover a it would stay there. thanks fixkick
