I have a 1999 suzuki grand vitara 2.0 5 speed what speed sensor do I need and what colour

easter egg hunt 1million Car speed? or ABS speed sensors. we cant guess, whats wrong, can we.? USA car,? we are USA, cars not here are vastly different. so........???????? why ask not telling problem? scans told you sensor is bad post the DTC error. speedo dead.Odom, dead? what? J20 engine , 5 speed stick shift box. manual trans,,m/t 4wd or 2wd? toss coin NOT ABS sensors. there are 2 speed sensors ill do all 3 permutations of car 4wd one or tail of transfer case 2wd one on tail of 5speed box. any, the backup speed sensor in the speedometer cluster 89-98 years and was deleted 1999, usa. why ask ,tell why. so we can be on the same page and not have to document all the above. color is of on concern, only correct part numbers matter !!! colour (non usa spelling) is my only real useful HINT. never said speedometer fails. or odometer fails the trans is manual so no speed sensor needed ever there to shift automatially,its a stick scan it yet.? THAT BE FIRST. i looked at our 1999 usa GV . serv. man best i can tell speedo has new electronic head. no speedo cable. first year, in fact. (i owned a 97 and 04) so when VSS goes dead (say) the speedo goes dead odom goes dead and ECU sets DTC errors for VSS dead. 3 clear symptoms. some cars have different VSS1 to match, axle gears. the vss gear on end . on newer cars with stick shift like mine now the aBS sends speed to PCM so there is no transmission speeds sensors at all , 6sp, m/t so lacking symptoms, me bollixed.

Converting my mini-suv to propane

you ask the internet bunnies for EFI fuel conversions, HA! try here on the nuts forums. eco nuts. http://ecomodder.com/index.php why not just run GAS (gasoline)??? Is TV making you feel like a planet killler, really? turn it off. that TV> and LIVE. it's never been cheaper (GAS) and is sold every where, on the road usa. (adjusted for inflation it dirt cheap)!! need proof? (im old and know) reasons not to; go (LNG.LPG or whatever) when selling car, nobody wants this odd duck hacked up car. when getting it fixed , nobody wants to fix any hacked up car. for sure on long trips ever think about that? stuck on the road for ever.... somewhere... passing smog , can't. (no EPA certs on a hack job) selling car with not passing SMOG, nobody wants it. in CALIF , you can see it lacking that certifications, (both) the only way to go green is LESS C02 (all engine running perfect make max CO2) ASE class skip this topic? and that means (using fuel) a tiny engine. is the cure. buy a car with a tiny engine, and less weight. there is no other way, electrics only move the smog out of town. to the electric plant.. and overloads the grid, etc,etc,... do like EU, run a 1liter car, But in USA ,we dont have many to choose. smart car? mini? Fiat 500? keep in mind crash safety living is #1 , for most folks that think it all through, (on the road ) IMO! YMMV. etc. WHY CHEAPER. google this total cost of ownership on cars. (life of car) guess what? it';s not fuel, sorry.

I'm bleeding the breaks on a 1999 grand vitara and I can only find a bleeder screw on the drivers side rear. Can't find anything on passenger side. Is there one?

Most certainly there should be one. It should be in the same relative location as the one on the driver's side rear was (typically reversed due to being on the other side). What often happens is that over time, bleeder screws have a tendency to seize up and unless care is used to loosen them, they will shear off flush to the caliper/wheel cylinder. Inspect closely for this problem. If you have to replace the bleeder screw, chances are you will need to remove the caliper/wheel cylinder to drill out the old one, and hopefully, not damaging the threads, can install a new one. Many folks just get a new caliper/wheel cylinder and get on with the repair.

Clicking sound with no key is the ignition. No lights, radio, nothing. It feels like the relay is vibrating.

Fully charge the battery first disconnect it from the vehicle, replace the relay borrowed from another spot, try it
