cuts out can be a minor hesitations to a full on bog,
does car have wide open throttle power,?
cuts out can mean total 12vdc power failure, with all lamps in car showing that or groups, going dead or dim.
if yes, the EFI will lose DC power too. and cut out.

Check engine lamp. in cluster.
its not a panacea that light but can glow.
the panacea if possible is scanning the PCM using any OBD2 scan tool made. see if there are DTC errors.

SOURCE: Suzuki Baleno (esteem) 1999. Engine Idle RPM not stable
you probably need to check the butterfly. its the compinent that controls how much air goes into the engine if it is weared than in idle state air leaks into the engine sometime more sometimes less and cause fluctuations in rpm
secondly there is a rpm switch which controls the rpm you can replace that switch and check
SOURCE: 1998 suzuki esteem 1.6 will not start HELP!
Having good fuel pressure is a plus (yours seems a bit high but I don't have specs) What you need to find out is if the injectors are opening and putting the fuel into the engine so it can work. Are the plugs wet with fuel or dry? Does it fire up if you spray carb cleaner into the throttle body while cranking?
Testimonial: "thanks for quick reply..will pull plugs and inspect..wow what a great site!"
SOURCE: 1999 suzuki esteem fuel filter location
This is a Baleno in our market (Australia) and the G16B 1.6 EFI SOHC 16v has the fuel filter bolted to the firewall in the engine bay. This fuel system will be under pressure even after the engine has been off for a long period of time.

SOURCE: my 1999 honda accord cuts off while i'm driving
I have a '99 accord also and had this exact problem a couple of years ago. I took it to a Honda dealer, they knew what the problem was as soon as I told them. I think it was the starter or ignition switch?? It was a recall item though and they fixed it without charge. No problems since then.
as you cans see, the FSM is full of CMP facts,
