#1 of 6 Suzuki Sidekick Owners: Problems and results by mbents Feb 28, 2006 (7:06 pm)
My wife has a 98 Sidekick. The check engine light came on a bout a year ago and I got it diagged. There was an emissions valve I was able to clean out and correct the problem. No problem. Recently, it has started idling low and stalling, but no check engine light. I lost my Haynes manual for this car and we are thinking about trading it in in the next week or so, so don't want to buy another. The thing is all electronic injection and control modules, so wondering if anyone has had similiar issues. At first the problem only occured a little, now it is happening more often. I think it has to do with the engine temperature, but is getting worse. ANy recommendations would be helpful. Thanks!

Replying to: mbents (Feb 28, 2006 7:06 pm) Have an old 91 4 door. Same prob. Dealer recently said the "heat sensor" was rotted away. Actually, a ham fisted discount service center, (no names), mechanic broke it off, and we tried just epoxying it back into place. So we should replace this little thing. Only costs about $80.00 or so with labor, (we were told). Have not bothered yet to do it to see if that would cure the issue, as we may sell ours now soon too, maybe for a new Grand Vitara. But you might want to try it yourself....? No check engine light with our idling problem, either.
#4 of 6 fuel efficiency by buffalobruce May 30, 2006 (11:49 am)
In eliminating my power steering belt and pump, from my 94 Sidekick, for better fuel efficiency, should I put heavier fluid in the PS unit? It does not steer hard in any case, it is a light vehicle........B Bruce
