Hello! I suspect a defective Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor. It is located on the top of the tank...It has a 3 wire connector...Wire colors are...Brown/Red...Gray/Yellow...And Gray/Red...It cost around $260...But it can be tested but difficult to get at unless you drop the tank...Set volt meter to read 5 volts...Using two safety pins, push one into the rear of the in place connector on the outside pin (Brown/Red) and the other on the other outside pin (Gray/Red)...Turn on key...connect meter + probe to the rear right side pin and the - probe to the rear left side pin...Must read +5 volts...Move the right rear pin to the middle wire (Gray/Yellow)...Must read 3.3 volts...If you do not read the proper voltage the sensor is defective...

AIRTEX / WELLS Part # 5S5638. Cost=$250

Hi Highland Oak,

By the sounds of this problem, your transmission is failing and may need to be replaced, Gears grinding, Not capable to use certain gears, A smell will rise (egg smell) This will indicate trouble while cvhanging gear.

You did not specify which engine your Vitara has, the 4 or 6 cylinder, so here are both layouts. For front of vehicle, read ' side of engine where pulleys are'. If your distributor layout is different, locate the position of #1 wire with the engine at TDC compression and follow the firing order around the cap in a clockwise direction:-

check spark plug leads with multi meter to check resistance to manufacturers specs, also remove and check spark plugs. could be as simple as bad fuel

check oil senser to see if it is working

not that i know of you may have acces if u remove the rocker covers if the chain is streched it will be noisey if it jumps a tooth on the drive sprockets it can cause terminal damage or at the least bend valves best to have a mechanic take a look at it and go from there

if tank was empty 4 liters will not move gauge
if all you could put in the sending unit in gas tank is probably faulty or wires to it are defective

I would take it to a shop and have the fuel pressure checked, sounds like it is bleeding off at night
causing temporary starvation when first started.

it is either going to need a new starter or your alternator is dead. also, have you tried recharging the battery? your battery may actually be dead. also, check your transmission fluid levels/color

Just dis-connect the electrical plug and unscrew the old sensor. Once out, screw the new sensor in and connect the plug. If the new sensor doesn't have an o-ring on it near the thread it'd be a good idea to put some thread tape on it to make sure oil doesn't leak out. To remove the old sensor and intall the new one there's actually a specially socket you can buy that has a slot in it for the wires. It can also be done with a spanner but the sensors can sometimes be very tight. Be careful not to let the spanner slip as it may round off the nut or even cause personal injury.

i have a 1999 suzuki vitara soft top, after been towing behind a motorhome the reverse does not work. but if i let the car seat for about eight hours the reverse work just fine till i shift to drive.

It has a 2 liter reserve

More details needed. What you mean gas overflow?
