Dying Suzuki Vitara JLX 1.6 8v
« on: September 27, 2006, 02:17:20 »
Help!!!!!!!!

Engine check light has come on and when it's started for the first time it seems ok but slightly weak on power.
but if you try to start it 5 minutes later it just turns over and dont want to start, i can hear a clicking which i think is a relay and it sound like it's in the cabining area.
when i opened the bonnet the other day and got my misses to turn it on i could also hear a clicking from a green pipe/unit thats on the head near the front, also something near the injector.

Please help as im lost without my suzy!!!!!!!!
LIfe is only as short as the lane your in....

Sounds like you might have a wiring issue.

Unplug, clean and replug everything in site, check the battery is good too, low batter voltage can upset the ECU. Mine regularly looses headlights because they are full of muck, quick wiggle and they come back.

Once you are happy with wiring make sure the fuel pump is running. I dont know how on a zook, but you should be able to get the fault codes out of the ECU

I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.
