engine runs or just the starter runs, no car runs, cars are just bodies. what runs exactly, be clear. if the starter runs, its bad.(itssolenolid is jammed) i use voltmeter to prove that, 0v on solenoid at fail,means the starter solenoid is bad. if engine runs. that is more serious, almost toyota like. these newer cars have more relays that can stick or the ignition switch can fail or some body added a remote start BS to it and its bad. we dont guess, and this is a dangerous car, we use the voltmeter on the IGn1 AND iGN2 PINS OF THE Ignition switch to see what is failiing, it or or relays if serious,most here are not, only looking for magic guessing but if serious, alldata.com has the primary schematics as does suzuki pit stop plus' this is a daewoo car body with same engine or GM engine and each engine is wired different, so no engine stated NO EXACT help ever.

Here's a PDF containing more information than any normal human could possibly ever need for that transmission:

2004? this is before the EEC parliament made it compulsory that all cars must work from the same system and give the codes on a little handheld tool so its possible that you are not being able to access all the codes and they are only readable with dealer software ,the answer ?? grin and smile when the dealer gives you the bill

Check out the other answers to code issues posted earlier. You need to enter a specific code. Usually caused by having dis-connected the battery.

Oil pump is accessible by dropping the oil pan. Check out the 2004 Forenza Service manual I uploaded; do a site search using those key words.

Squealing noises are more apt to be from belts, not mechanical parts. It doesn't necessarily have to be "a belt" per se, as the noise could, in part, be caused by an idler pulley. Open the hood and try to locate the sound. FYI I have posted the complete 2004 Forenza Service manual on FIXYA. Do a site search with those key words.

P0342 is telling you your camshaft sensor is bad. Do not confuse this with Crankshaft sensor. They are two completely different animals. Not that difficult of a fix, and I have seen good answers elsewhere on the site. Part cost is around $45. Stay away from Parts Geek - multiple bad experiences with them.

need to check the plug for the ect sometimes you can buy a defected sensor

auto trans or manual ?????

https://suzukipitstopplus.com/Category/3-suzuki-service-manuals.aspx old post but , $4 you can read the manual as good as i.

hello andn, is that a double post. ah but this time blow word is added. my previous post answers that, step to is, does the engine coolant , reach 180F or more temperature or more. and hold use a IR pyro gun to test this are as any pro does, puts hand on upper rad hose and had flies off it 180f, if not BINGO. ill stop here, to see if yo bingo that.

reset , i love that word, it's great new wave name for the computer age. "all things get fixed by pushing a button." nah, not even close.

1. if the blower fan does not blow, the blower fuse is blown , check all fuses. or the fuse named that.
2. the engine coolant must reach 180F or more, and hold there, or there will be no heat. (or tiny)
3. if the blower blows cold air, (above good) then the dampers for the heater core is closed, bad dampers or controls.
4. The heater core can packup if you fail to to proper engine coolant (drain,backflushes an refills.
5. number 2 above can fail if the engine thermostat is bad or missing.

tell more get more, answer #1 first.

which of 6 engines is it? we cant ever guess this. and nobody ever post that. oddly FSM quote: 2.0L USA, only.

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Drain the cooling system into a suitable container and tighten the drain plug.

   • Timing belt
   • Timing belt tension roller retaining bolt
   • Timing belt tension roller
   • Water pump mounting bolts
   • Water pump from engine block
