2000 Vitara won´t start

NO YEAR TOLD 2000?
THE POST IS NOT CLEAR AT ALL

• STARTER MOTOR DEAD AND WILL NOT CRANK.
• CRANKS FAST BUT WILL NOT START

NO VIN OR COUNTRY TOLD TO THE BLIND.

DID YOU MEAN CRANKS OK BUT WILL NOT START?
OR?
NO CRANK HAS 6 CAUSES
NO ENGINE RUN HAS 50
LEARN TO BE CLEAR WHAT WORKS AND DOES WORK'
BOTH.
IF CRANKS ONE OF 2 THING STOP STARTING
IMMO LAMP ON DASH NOT HAPPY

1. ENGINE CAM BELT FAILED.
2. SPARK DEAD SCAN IT TO SEE WHY.
3. FUEL DEAD. THE ECU CUTS FUEL IF IT SEES SPARK DEAD.

USE A SCAN TOOL TO SEE WHY THE ECU/ECM/PCM
WILL NOT CREATE SPARK, GUE$$ING IS NOT CHEAP.
WE USE TOOLS TO FIX CARS OR GO BROKE

2000GV
MISFIRE, how did you prove rich, caused????????
if that is true, it can be caused by:

1. spark plug bad. (no spark causes, wet tips)
2. too high fuel pressure.
3. PCM stuck in failsafe (limphome) mode, scan it yet?
4. got DTC errors??? scan it?
5. misfiring when? hot , cold engine or both.?
6. only idling , cruising up hills? or all time?
7. leaking injectors?
8. clogged injectors.?
9. ECT stuck cold all the time (scan it is it 180F or more?)
10. and more. cant go closer lacking all EVIDENCE.

H25 engine,
ever do the 60k mile interval tune up>???
(spark plugs and cop boots, just did my H25) filters>?
here are the tricks to get out the boots and spark plugs.

http://www.fixkick.com/IGN_timing/tune-ups.html#H25

From what you say I would have a load test done on the battery as the sudden drop in voltage when trying to start indicates a dead cell

what engine?, they have options, there. cant fix unknown engines....
G16? J20, J25 engine? all are very diffr. motors.

hot soak failure.
probably not lost engine compression, HLA lifters. no gap
so is lost spark
you check for spark at all cylinders. if all are gone we scan the ECU.
if spark is good then its flooding, spark tips on all cyl, soaking wet
or just 1.????
all the above is $2 in special tools, just a fresh new spark plug
found in tool box..

if spark is dead.
we scan it. (all comments are for USA cars, never others)
we conn. the OBD2 tool ($9) and scan it
1: key on,
2: crank for 5 seconds and see scan tool show RPM from 250 to 300rpm. good. CKP is working bit.
3: we then release key , not off yet
4: i look at live and pending DTC,s oops, P0340/355 or ?
and you look up those DTCs and it says, bad CMP /CKP?
BINGO.

IF spark is good, then its just flooding
if yes, then ask how to do fuel tests.
fueling is last. all else must be right first.
(fuel pressure, then injector balance tests)
ask

wow, you did it backwards, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
ever do the op guide lilsted tune ups at 60k intervals? miles>? if not why not?
did you try op guide stated WOT test, crank WOT, wide open throttle.
starts now (well it was flooded1) nothing, well, it's below.

watch scotty.

fuses good. battery at 12v not 10v. , fresh fuel, not 3 years old.
key on CEL glows.
cranks engine, cranks robustly.
you then check for spark. on all 6 COP coils. MUST WORK.
iS spark good or bad. .? ( all gas engines. not diesel)

good spark , yes,. try test fuel. (sold in stores,,,,,, in a spray can)
if test fuel runs good for:
no spark , attach any cheap scan tool, and crank for 5 sec.

http://www.fixkick.com/IGN_timing/no-spark.html#Cops

release key (not off) and see if P0340 or P0355 or close are thrown
YES, bingo and make sure RPM shows at near 300 cranking
if not, the CKP is dead.

A: 3 seconds each try, then the engine is good and so is spark if it sounds really good,..
B starts and runs, must have been flooded or no tune up ever.
C: starts and floods, again, and stalls, trouble shoot flooding.
D: Dead as a door nail. that means its:
1: bad engine, (compression way below 170psi)
2: or lost fueling. check spark tips , wet, is flooding or no spark.'
2a: or low fuel pressure, use a fuel pressure gauge.
0 or 2 psi bad, 20 bad, 30 good, 60 bad. 60 it floods. below 30 it starves. the FSM covers all pump tests, there are 6 tests.
there is also an injector balance test, if fails, the injector is dead or leaks all the time and floods a cylinder.

is this good, ?????
if not do you just want a simple guess?
ok my wild useless guess.
1: not ever tuned up;. "know today as, doing the service points''

And you know the fuel filter is good? Could be injector problem: just as a check, spray some starting fluid into the intake and see if engine runs a few seconds. If it does, it is a fuel problem. Check injector fuse, as a start. Check fuel pressure. Check injector circuit. If engine won't start with starting fluid, check if you are getting spark. Problem may be in the ignition system.

(if engine is good, not overheated )
its only 1 of 2 things.
lost spark (do a spark test using , yes, a test good spark plug)
if spark is good on all cyl
then check fueling, if spark plugs not soaked in fuel (tips)
then try test fuel.
if soaked, the op guide says, hold throttle fully open (depressed 100%) this cuts INJECTIONS 100% and you start a flooding motor)

old post.
There are many Vitara engines, what size is yours.?
the noid lamp will not work VR crank sensors.
and many Halls will fail that test too, (a 10,000 ohm pull up stops that)
the noid suck big time current. (if your NOID is LED, then yes it works on most HALL sensors and never VR type.
the VR type has only 2 wire. the Hall has 3 or 4 wire (power)
the G16 motor uses hall sensors and creates a nice square wave. any DSO can see that signal.

why not say why you suspect this sensor.
and the car still starts with a Dead CKP on this G16 motor.!
The CKP only makes "ECU misfire work, detection"
the 1995 had no such sensor. and runs.
if the car will not start, then its not the CKP it\'s the CMP sensor
(dead spark) (no spark? the ECU cuts all FUEL)
the cam or DISSY sensor inside it is CMP.
this CMP dead, causes NO Spark , no start and No fuel.

the crank CKP sensor on some suz, are not hall but just a VR coil
and you need scope or other very special tool (mag) to test it.
on all 1999 here, our Scan tools tells you which is bad.
no scan tool? P0340, 355, cranking or running.

I post this to show that , it\'s best to post simptoms first
then ask how to find out why.
the first step is the CEL lamp. (what it does and the scan tool facts)
or post here.

You are on the right track by finding the injector pulse missing.
The computer grounds the injectors based on signals from the cam and crank sensors. You may have to use a scanner to check for trouble codes in the computer and watch the sensors work.
The problem could also be a relay or the key switch.

No roll over switch on this model, pull the spark plugs and clean them, turn it over with the plugs out with rags over the motor to catch any oil. then put the plugs in and try it again, it won't take much oil on the plugs to stop it starting.
