coolant flowing between iac and isc ?
#21
no parts now , sold all in 2010 when i moved to texas.
yes,
1996+
any real scan tool is best
the cheapest good one is $10 for usage white laptop. (cd with program in the box) elm327 (no-can bu cars, just old OBD2) of ebay, even cheaper, prices.
my favorite in hand held is Innova 3160. huge coverage even air bags and ABS. does all OBD2 can-bus cars, new. to present. 1996 to now coverage.


the older cars need this.

far away in UK

free software , only need the translator cable...
there is post here of a guy using it, lots of photos. etc.

I like the lap top version the best.
the scantool.net with Palmer software, you drive and log data all day.
seen here
can use, usb , wifi or blue tooth dongle.. ive tested all 3, with the software. really good stuff here.

Thanks, I might begin with a very cheap one, the elm327. But I`ll definitively buy something strongger before end of winter. I`ll go with someone you`re suggesting. I didn`t know there were something for holder car ? Does it Worth the buy ?

I just went to pick up my starter. I should be ok to install it tomorrow. Btw, I never seen a site with so much infos about those little 4wd.....

Just finished to install the new(used) starter. It cranked and started first crank. Kind of funny, I just realized that in the Sidekick there`s no tachometer! It would be useful to have one for all test regarding idle. My Tracker have one, I could make the swap. I`m wondering if I`ve got to install a complete cable ?

Anyway, the engine seems to run really nicely. I`ll get it in my garage for the weekend to begin différents tests.

Thanks Fixkick, my little 4wd is now in my garage. With all I`ve read on your site, I`ll enjoy doing many tests on my Sidekick this weekend...

cool a running,kick.... nice
yes,2wd has no tacho, cheap buzzards...
there are lots of clusters, many do not swap, i have a very complex cluster page.
i had to a 91 4wd cluster in my 91 2wd,(converted to 4wd, whole car)

if the connector matches it will work'
they have many connector combos.

a differnt cluster for all things, even axle ratio or m/t and a/t and 2door and 4.
complex.
what year is target car... and full spec on it> ?

Kick, my dash really looks like a newer one I`m pretty sure it has been replaced. I`ll check if I can just replace the area where the speedo and the tachom are. I bet there`s was a tachom before, I`ll check this weekend if I can see the wires to plug in it.

It`s a 95 Sidekick 1.6l 8v, 4wd 2doors. I`ve been told(can`t garantee that) that no tach was mostly for 2wd.

As I said, I`m pretty sure the dash has been replaced. My bet is that it has been replaced with the one with no tachometer. I could saw last night that there`s no light in the dash. So going to look at it today.

I could live with no tachom , However I find it a usefull "tool" when you need to do some adjustments , particularly for idle......

ok 1995, ill tell you 3 things for that. car.
the bottom tag part number now
what fits
and what style, (size pins and locations) on yours.
next
the 2wd has no tacho, its on 4wd only'
the parts lists show this clearly, i have full illistated parts lists (books,etc) i hand
I agree, the original cluster was removed.
more soon

http://www.fixkick.com/sensors/speedo/cl...frack.html
i have the above condensation i made and the full pdf of all head made all EPC data ,on heads.
note they had 8 clusters, just in USA, mPH clusters, not KPH, lots more would wide and the stupid dick nixion 85mph bs heads... tricky dick we called him,
i bet your 4wd cluster lamp is dead too..(UNLESS last guy ,added the lamp there, as can be done)
you have not stated the transmission, and that matter too. 3/4/5 sPEEDS?
like overdrive lamp, and P?N mode for 4speed. etc.
my page is unique,no body has this but me,, showing all that and connector used.!
the variances are huge, even cal/fed
the fed has nag switch wires. the calif.does not, but since i remove all nag wires, they are same head.
now my guess
PO, prev.owner ripped out 61am0 head and stuffed in a 63ab1
the bottom sticker has full part number

now the pdf, linked off same page
your connector ,was 16x13 (pin counts, and 2 total) not counting NAG port 4 pins, that i never plug in,

http://www.fixkick.com/sensors/speedo/al...edo16L.pdf



many of heads are now dead.
and now swapped.
in fact i had to use 3 heads to get 1 perfect head.
used,parts.
i can also match up internal parts between heads, have that list tool

so parking lamps are dead in cluster
turn the dash dimmer up.
or PO;s love to steal those to make lower lamps work, a dirty trick and easy fix.
if the speedo works that is blessing ,most make huge noise, bounce or stick
the bottom sticker tells all
some lamp that are missing, dead) say you have 4 speed, (still dont know) and the P/N lamp is out
you may find the circuit there and only the lamp holder is missing. I cured many like that.
to find out what really there in 5min work?
a flash light , at night
shine in the lense,see all lamps and all names on all lamps, all those can work, with sockets present
easy huh?

the cheapest kick made was
2 doors
2wd
5speed
and no tacho
and with top off,weighed in at 2000 lbs even, very very light car and joy in snow or off road.
nimble is the word.
no a/c
no p/s
no air bags.
no ABS
very very inexpensive... and my favorite one... 91 is first best one.

I`ll read all those infos at least twice just to be sure I won`t miss something !

Btw, my 95 Sidekick is manual 5 speeds. However I gave you wrong infos. I just went back in the little 4x4(as it`s now dark outside). the only light I got is for the line above speeometer. engine, oïl, ! , 4wd , belt. everything else has no light. My 4wd is on so the 4wd sign appears in green.

I`ve also got a 94 Tracker autom 1.6 8v 4wd(now as a spare parts) that as the tachom in the cluster. I was thinking of taking that one.

Going to read your link.....
