Do your brake lights work? Your brake pedal switch supplies power to the shift solenoid to alow you to shift. When you push the pedal do you here a clicking in the Shifter? The fuse might have blown, it is in the interior fuse panel possibly listed as shift interlock.

    Look at the transmission where the Shifter cable attaches . Pop off the cable with a big screwdriver or pliers and see if you can move the lever with you hand. If you can your cable might be siezing

How to change timeing belt on 2008 suzuki forenza

Instructions
    • Disconnect the negative cable on your car battery. Make sure to wait for the engine of your Suzuki Forenza to cool off completely before you start working on it.
    • 2Rotate the engine using a wrench attached to a crankshaft bolt. Align the timing mark on the pulley to the 0o mark on the scale.
    • 3
    • Remove the screws and the bolts that hold the timing cover in its place and take the cover off. Loosen the bolts that hold the spring-loaded tensioner of the timing belt a little. Pull the tensioner away from the timing belt and then tighten the bolts again.
    • 4Pry off the timing belt from the pulley channels and the camshaft sprocket with a flat head screwdriver. Set the old timing belt aside and compare it with the new belt. The new belt should have the same width as with the old timing belt and the inside surface of both belts should have the same size of teeth.
    • 5Put the new timing belt on the sprockets and make sure it is positioned correctly. Loosen the bolts that hold the tensioner and pull the tensioner toward the timing belt.
    • 6Adjust the timing of the belt. Strictly follow the instructions on the Suzuki Forenza manual. When the timing is set, check if the timing marks on the can, crank and sprockets are still aligned.
    • 7Turn the engine with the wrench on the crankshaft pulley two whole circles until you reach the 0o mark.
    • 8Reinstall the timing cover and tighten the screws and bolts that hold the cover in its place.
    • 9Reconnect the negative cable on your car battery. Put the key in the ignition and start the car to check if the timing belt replacement was successful and that the car is running properly.

1996, stuck in park shifter moves fine, but car will not roll in neutral, but if i rock car back and forth it will pop out of park and then i can drive forward and backwards just fine. as soon as i put it...

The park pawl is spring loaded and it sounds like that spring has broken. The problem is, the trany has to be removed from the car and completely disassembled to fix it. The linkage for park is all mechanical, the transmission could be completely out of fluid and park should still work. I guess, I would get into the habbit of setting the park brake, then put the car in park and pull it out of park, before you release the park brake. You could also leave the shifter in the neutral position and set the park brake. This will allow you to start the car but you won't be able to remove the key. Hopefully the brake cables are not all rusted up. Good luck.

Creaking, squeaking sound going over bumps and uneven road surfaces and when turning wheel sometimes on a 95 Merc. Mystique

jack up the front of the car so both wheels are off the ground.
turn the wheels side to side,and listen for the noise.
it could be ball joints or stabilizer links.
there are after market ones available with grease points on them.
the original are sealed and go after about 10 years
