Hi i have a suzuki grand vitara 1999 and under power going up hill it smells like sulpher so i looked under the car and noticed that 1 of the spring loaded bolts that hold the y pipe to the exhaust was missing.when i took it apart there is a mushy metal gasket in there.do i need to replace this to make the smell go away and do i need to have the spring loaded bolts or can i use regular bolts. thanks

you have 3 choices. (2 stated, in operators guide , in glove box)
1: ignore, it, and be unprotected. ( or worse , read about it))
2: Get the car serviced.
3: DIY, (iffy at best) but you can in fact read the FSM or read the words
in the alldata.com web site. login and read. under SRS air bags.
It states to, connect the air bag scan tool, and lots of tests using other toots.
$4 day view too.

Should be the same just make shure the plug is exact.

follow the fuel line back from the injector pump and their is the diesel filter ,under the bonnet

Look in your owner's manual. I think you have put the A/T switch into the
towing or hill climbing mode as opposed to the street or gas saving mode.

Hi There, You don't need to remove the injectors to clean. Just add BG can of BK44 to the gas tank. That will help clean them or go somewhere and have the fuel injection service clean done. These injectors don't give problems. Don

Your problem could be anything from Dirty air filter/Loose fanbelt/Thermostat sticking/Full throttle over fueling on pump/or air in Water system (somecars have to be bleed thats removing air from radiator and engine) check your book for that.

Lift the back of your car.With a stable rest and with the two hind wheels hanging, run your car up to the speed where you experienced vibration. have someone take care of the throttle and shifting while you observe the transmission shaft. You may have an imbalanced shaft.
