When im driving along and go to change gear if it is neutral the car stalls but it will bump start and will start from stopped but will not hold revs.The temp gauge does not seem to go to the half mark on the gauge it stays at the quater mark but the heaters still blow warm air.This only happens now and again.I have a short wheel base suzuki vitara

rusted fuel pipe's or lines as we call them would not cause an electronic fuel guage to do anything, the problem is most likely the level sensor in the fuel tank, 99% of the time that is the problem

Haynes don't cover that engine. I've found a copy of the H25 engine manual which is similar to the H20 engine we have. If you search for SQ416 in google you'll find a copy you can buy or if you're lucky you'll find a free download somewhere like I did!! :-) It has helped me loads.

Sounds like a clutch problem to me.
So, with the engine off, can you select all gears? If yes, your gearbox is probably OK.
And now with the engine idling, can you select any gears with out crunching? If this is difficult, then try this next test in an area where movement forward or backwards won't be a problem.
With the engine OFF, foot ON the clutch, the handbrake OFF, and in 1st gear, start the car. BE READY TO TURN IT OFF.
If the car moved forward as you cranked the engine, then your clutch is not adjusted properly or has worn out. That is more-than-likely the smell you got before - burnt clutch disc from it slipping.
You can drive it, but every time you want to start off, you'll have to turn the engine off, select 1st then start the engine. Accelerate slowly, making sure the revs don't rise faster that you're speeding up, and change gear by judging engine revs between gears.
Don't keep driving it as it is, as you WILL have gearbox problems if you don't fix the clutch.

This is because the "fuel sender" in the tank has an open in the resistor. The sender works much the same as a float in a toilet bowl, but instead of closing a water line, it sweeps an electrical contact over a small wire. Depending on the position on the wire, a certain voltage is sent to the gauge, moving it up or down. When you have an open on the small wire, it does exactly what you are describing.

It is probably your injector coil fuse.That would be why it wont start.
