advice needed
#4
the problem with rusted tanks and bad fuel, is that rust gets into those 10 micron sized screens inside all 4 injectors. (requiring injector shop reverse cleaning to fix $22 each) ask.
the filter on the tank front is about 40micron sized and lets rust go to the injectors.
EFI injection needs clean fuel, all the time.
that is the big problem on any EFI car parked unused for a long time.
the filter is in fact sold by the top 5 fuel filter makers, Wix and Frame both make it and sell, it, but may take, special orders, in stores, as no store has all 1000's filters, on the shelf.
For sure not this very rare car, very few on the road this car. (down south here we see one every 3 months moving on the road, 89/98 years.)
Suzuki never sold the fuel filter bracket, so if bad, has to be hand made.
quoting my tuneup page.
FRAM G7196 /G6678 Wix 33686 ($23.50) at NAPA. and better Deal is Fram at Rockauto.com for $9.95
the transmission on your car is my guess 4 speed,with OD lamp and button and P/S button (power sport) made by Aisin of Japan. like this photo?

Have you looked at rockauto.com yet, even if you dont like them , there pages show you what is made for your car, in the aftermaket. (top branded parts)
here lets to filters. now. see>? that Bosch is tempting, top Brand Bosch is.

are you in Canada? (or IT was bought new there)?
That Vin starts with JS, that means its made in japan. not CAMI plant, canada
all 90 and cars here are with VIN 2CN prefix,
our VIN is on the dashboard, left side just under windshield,. '
if the VIN in on the engine bay firewall, placard, that is gray market sidekick (or Vitara)

see this tag, "?
this is a canada car market car sold to Canadians only ,never USA.
see that oak leaf?

the reason I ask this is that suzuki parts must match this tag, market codes.
lighting ,brakes, wiring and smog parts (EFI parts) vary by country as does the ECU EFI computer, for injection and spark..

in this case bad fuel is top dog.

how many years was it parked,?

codes when buying parts. these silly codes are GM codes but oddly some sellers use the GEO/GM/Tracker codes on real suzuki car. very odd. I call it G16B ,
the code G16KV (GEO codes ) means V for Van, 4 door
G16kC means rag canvas top 2door. C = canvas (funny no?))

the VIN on this car, lacks a valid engine code. Suzuki stupidly use code 0 for G16A (TBI) and G16B MPI engines (aka MFI)
this makes buying parts on line hard, not knowing these facts on engine codes.
The 16v has unique head and pistons and unique EFI end to end unique.
the 8v parts will not work on 16v. so be careful buying parts.
