I own a 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara JLX with a 2.5 liter (H25) V6 engine. I need a part that’s mounted on the throttle body that Suzuki doesn’t sell separately. The engine was put into the 1999 to 2003 Grand Vitara (and some Trackers but I have no idea which ones) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find this part through salvage dealers for a number of reasons. The biggest problem is the part name and lack of official Suzuki part number. The second problem is a lack of specific information about the part. What I know (or think I know) so far is the part is usually called a ‘Mass Air Flow Meter’ or ‘Air Flow Meter’. A picture of the unit and a diagram of its position on the throttle body can be found here - http://yfrog.com/e8suzukicombinedj. This is NOT the cylindrical ‘Air Mass Meter’ or the ‘MAP Sensor’. It's a black plastic part, approximately 3 inches long by 1.5 inches wide. It's attached to the side of the throttle body forward of the MAP Sensor. It has a plug connection on top, a small cylindrical protrusion on the side which inserts into the throttle body and two bolt holes for attachment to the side of the throttle body. The part has a Hitachi part number AFH55M-13 on the unit with a second number 8903 (the part shown in the picture is a generic after market part I took off a website in the Netherlands) Here’s the thing; the AFH55M-13 part is used on a lot of engines and I think the second number (8903) may designate the engine size and/or model and/or year but I’m not sure. I’ve seen the part for 1.6 & 2.0 liter engines with 5### numbers for different (older) years and someone tells me they have a part with 8629 number they think will work but will charge me an unbelievable ‘restocking fee’ if it doesn’t. So to make a long story even longer; does anyone know if/what the second number actually means and if I’m right in thinking it’s specific to size or model or year, what numbers can I put on my particular engine? Also, does anyone know of any good Suzuki salvage/parts dealers in the US or Canada? Most of the yards I’ve talked to don’t ‘stock’ much in the way of Suzuki engine parts. You can get a whole engine but not much in the way of individual ‘non-dealer’ parts. Thanks for any help you can offer. I’m about out of ideas (and patience)

| I have a 2000 GV 4x4 automatic. I was just going to visit my father who lives around 12 miles from where I live it was a very hot day so I turn the ac on it wasn't really blowing cold air it was cold but not that cold so I figure better than not having anything by the time i get to my father's house I parked the car and there was smoke coming out from underneath the hood I thought it was dust but i checked it was really hot under the hood it overheated from having the ac on I also noticed on my way over the car wasn't accelerating as usual when the ac was on it felt really slow, I guess there is some connection between acceleration and the ac in this car well I haven't turn the ac on since then I afraid it will do something bad but summer is almost here and I dont know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated it.! | |
