The Usual Post About Running Issues
#4
The issue now is this: Took it to exhaust shop to get new exhaust. It's been welded and re welded 50 times over. It's been running without a catalytic converter for I don't know how long, so I was going to get one installed.
DID YOU>? EGR flow rates will not work with no cat. so... fixing EGR with no cat is a wasted effort.


if it were mine like this
spark plug out. black,? put in a new set gapped at .028" and drive home
if it will not run at all, try test fuel, to see if the engines ok, i must run on test fuel. (spray)
may sure it flashes code 12, with the diag jumper in place, cranking for 5 seconds.
it must, 51s sure ignore. it will run on 51 fails.
thats it
good luck.
and happy holidays!

pS: keep in mind the EGR is not active at idle., and not at wide open throttle,
it only needs to clos s 100% at idle, (check it by hand, flex its diaphram) if not engine will run like near 400rpm then stall. shaking like mad.

I drove it to the exhaust shop just fine. The brand new converter is sitting in the passenger seat for him to install but he cant get it started now. Spark plugs are only 5 days old. They are the proper ones that Suzuki calls for.

EGR is not the issue then. At least not whats causing a no start/stall situation. Likely we are looking at spark or fuel. I put fuel in the tank before I dropped it off, but maybe when he let it idle to clear snow he ran it out of gas? I hope he is smart enough to check for that before he calls me and says it wont start. Anyways, I will bring some starter fluid with me to check for fuel issue. Like I said, plugs are new so I don't think that is the issue unless the spark is having problems farther down the line.

Your'e saying before I try and start it on test fuel I should check for code 12 when cranking. That means I am ok as long as it repeats.

im mention plugs only for 2 reasons
1: gaped wrong. as many do , thinking they come pre-gapped, (hopeless at .045" as come from factory spark plug making machine.)
2: and the 89-95 years love to turn them black, in LIMPHOME. ( just pulling one plug and we go, oops.... limphome, or worse)

if rich fouling black think limphome, or fuel pressure too high (FPR jammed shut is common this old) or injector leaks.
if lean, mAF dead? or weak or needs cleaning.
if no fuel, fuel pump died, if the diagnostic jumper ,gets you 12s. flashing.

this car and all like it cut fuel if the ECU sees no spark, no spark to this ECU is TACHO line dead. only that. and bam no injections now.
code 41 code 42, is that
