New Guy Hello / 1992 Suzuki Sidekick Multiple Issues / What to Tackle First?
#19
this is probably the most complex topic on this car. (H3LL any car) "what ECU brain is best" the only answer is the ECU that came with car, or one with the same TAG data. end story.
how to get the correct ECU for my car.
my pdf is clear, its verbatim out of suzuki master parts list. excerpted and codes revealed by me, V code, C code, E3 , E33, and such.
The other thing to learn about, old ECUs,
is that many errors, the ECU sees may cause some very bad effects.
Limphome. or the ECU goes NUTS, (we call it getting lost, like humans do blind folded and for the same exact reason. )

I have offical books on this car, for may years, and many tell you this. (off my failsafe page, aka limphome or limp in)
http://www.fixkick.com/ECU/LimpHome/failsafe.html

some years do this and others do not. suzuki is not clear on this ,and is PROGRAMMING. (I know way, its because of the 56 markets, make this a HARD TOPIC)

if the ECU goes to limphome all early cars go to rich, and burn lots of fuel at about 15MPG.
burns about 2 times the normal fuel .
this is the best clue.

if yours is not doing that fuel waste, then all is ok. just the transmission problem matters. Do the spark plugs burn clean and white/light gray?/cream? or black.


the IAT, sensor on the 8v is critical (to compute the air mass sucked in to the engine, for EFI)
the 16v is its NOT. in fact is missing on 92/93 Fed cars but present on Calif. cars, and 92 is the first year of 16v, so one can say all early fed cars have on IAT.
