Heres some ideas start with the basics make sure you have trans fluid to the correct level. Next maybe the torque converter was not bolted on. Last maybe the trans is defective I know you say its new but even new parts come defective.

Cranks over and won't start or doesn't crank over?

if the valves are there,you can,you can also do a leak down test

All of them can be fixed. Depends on how much you want to pay for it.

you mixed up parts.!why post and not say this is a hackyou are trying to get a mt box to work in a/t.say it. so all can see that in 22 posts.and win.it ran before because the TCM told the PCMthe shifter is in park or neutral.now its NOT.look under car, see the cable dangling thereto the missing A/t box.that be it. (sending wrong data to the TCM)

Firing order is 1342 --- Order on the Coil Pack is 4,1,2,3 -- Line the plug wires up in that order starting at one end of the coil pack, if that doesn't work, start at the other end of the coil pack with the same 4,1,2,3 order. Cyl. #1 on the engine is closest to the crankshaft pulley (and all other pulleys) -- Disregard the firing order at this point, it will only add to the confusion. Stick to the 4,1,2,3 order for lining up the plug wires

socket.? a tool ? or is the housing bulb socket bad.????? if this is a tool question the car is 100% metric. and Torx screws. there is no trouble here, with tools. and what does replace mean.? the whole head light assembly.? or a bulb is out.? tell what hand is touching and ask. like this EG:, im at this screw here, and cant figure out what tool fits it. tell what screw exactly. better? or post a photo. to here... the services books are no help, the books assume you can recognize all fastener types. my guess is you have never seen metric cars?

2.0L usa/ if you follow the line from fuel rail back and there is no filter found, on any car, that means its in the tank, zero books, zero wondering. just look. we've answers this vast times here. ever search? the reason is easy , the USA EPA mandated this. end story , all cars EFI gas in usa. end. why did they, easy, to lower fuel temps why is that needed? to lower evap rates and smog. from that. all fact. now how to fish. login to alldata.com or suzuki pit stop plus turn to chapter FUEL it states "The fuel filter for Forenza and Reno models is an integral component of the in-tank fuel pump assembly. Refer to the Fuel Pump Removal procedure later in this section." posted again... and again,......and....

The oil pressure light or gauge will show that it has low oil pressure and you shouldn't run the engine that way.

Anything behind the throttle plate IS vacuum. If the hiss has developed after throttle body removal, check the gasket between the throttle body and where it bolts to at the plenum. Possible damage gasket

There is no dipstick to check the transmission fluid level on that vehicle. It has a drain plug at the bottom and a fill plug above it. The transmission fill plug is located on the backside of the transmission down by the driver side constant velocity shaft You must remove the fill plug with a special tool and fill it through that hole until it starts to slowly drip out. This will require you to put the vehicle on jack stands or a lift to perform this maintenance.Best to use a turkey baster to fill up.Get them at the dollar store.

Some cars do not have a drain plug or even a dip stick to check the oil level. There should be an oil pan on the bottom of the unit and clearly visible from under the car. You may have a car with a sealed transmission. You better check the service manual and find out. Or, call the dealer and ask the service desk.

change spark plugs in a 2004 suzuki forenza? google that

The Transmission Filter is internal to the transmission. You must drain the fluid from the transmission pan and remove it to gain access to the filter.

Not usually. The filter is located on the bottom the transmission. You need to unbolt, drain, and remove the transmission pan to access it. There may be interference from cross member and such, but normally it is accessible without the removal of the unit.

nice double post, answer remove the transmission. i posted the photo of it, on other post and google finds this answer, ever google before?

why ask this, did the service chart say to,, no... why? ask, my guess , do to other cars, this is easy... sure... but this is FWD cars. and many things are not easy... and this takes the prize, removal of transmission is required. the FSM book covers the service on this trans, read that yet. or at alldata.com it's a transaxle. if you google this , you get this answer... its like all over the web. here is the photo. see pan x? not there.! see ? , bingo.... (as we say cant get there, from HERE)

2.0L twin cam USA or the other 6 engines used world wide?is this your first car? all cars produce water and steam cold.(a normal product of gas combustion is H2O or water)but...if that water is green (antifreeze color) then you did the service wrong.1: head gaskets usually fail because they are a victim.!(have proof of that)did you check the head for warping and the engine deck too>?as the book for car (allcars) tells you ? to do and how.with steel rule and feller gauge?2: did you get the machine shop to pressure check the head.? (that's the pro shop place that rebuilds them)ice damage, freeze plugs(so called) and checked out fully.if not, most cars fail again. did you know there are other places for coolant to reach the head ports?the induction system. some cars have water heated ISC valves that can leak. (or ice damaged) (no engine stated, so I can't wax too savvy here)or the intake manifold water path leaking, (or ice damage there)you didn't post country or state, so if say in South Florida? there is no icing, but in Alaska, endless...why do that? not state where you live???? (not address, just state)are you running pure water ?or antifreeze at 50% in that car......??????i see lots of folks attempt that in Florida.here is a good book to review on topic.http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/automotive-technology-jack-erjavec/1100969794?ean=9781428311497read the pages on head work.lots of pitfalls, there.
