Stalls when driving, engines don't turn off they stall or run, or misfire. engines are self sustaining, they are not like an electric motor that turns on. just to be clear.
If you do say turns off,. this means to a tech, that you lost 12v power at the ignition, and EFI system. 12v power is/was lost.
this is not what is happening,
stalls:
try a tuneup. (top of list for 100 years now)
if it stalls only when driving. then say if your smart right foot can
save the stall.? can you, and is it very easy?
if easy, the ISC may be bad. (dirty,etc)
stalling can be simple or very complex. (Ask an ASE tech )
1:never ever tuned up, total disregard to the 60k miles service page in the glove box. op guide. aka; as the Service Schedule.
2: The EGR valve, is leaking. if it has one. no country stated.
3: bad idle controller , iSC.
4: air leaks in all MPI engine with MAF sensor will love to stall.
5: running rich, causing gross spark plug fouling and stalls.
6: gross lean fuel mix. (we call that bogging)
eg: I was driving , the engine bogged(lost power) i could not save
it with fast right foot and the engine stalled.
or
i stalled just as i reached a traffic stop,. elaborate please.

Sounds like a fuel problem. Check the filter - replace if not replaced before. If you hear the fuel pump working when it still won't start - try spraying some WD40 into the intake - this should cause it to try to start if it is fuel. If it is electrical you will need to trace down the problem from that angle. I suspect it is fuel. Also while you're at it - look for water condensation in the fuel tank. Try one bottle of common rubbing alcohol into the tank - [ you may need to get a funnel to make the fuel flap open to accept the alcohol] Pour the alcohol in and drive it for 20 minutes or so.
Keep in mind the newer fuel filters will stop a car from runnning if the moisture level is too high. They are designed to keep water out of the fuel system under the hood so if you got water in the fuel or a major condensation problem this will require you to replace the filter even if newer. While your doing this make sure the fuel cap is tight all the way and also look under it to be sure it is not cracked.
Also when testing the car - can you let it run without it over heating? If you can I would let it run in the drive way area for as long as you can stand it. Try 15 minutes -then try to restart -30 if it does - 45 - 60 and on until it refuses to start - then try that again. This is tedious I know. Best of luck and post back what you find.

REPLACE FUEL FILTER FIRST.IF IT STILL WONT CRANK.IT COULD BE FUEL PUMP RELAY OR FUEL PUMP.

Write suzuki directly, or contact them,first try your local suzuki dealer , if that doesnt work try corporate offices. This is a very common problem that occurs alot in most suzuki's. I myself just bought a 2001 vitara 2 weeks ago & have the same problem. It starts up fine in the morning but if I stop somewhere with the car & let it idle , it starts to stall & shut off completely & then I have to wait 10 to 20 minutes before it will turn on. Suzuki should admit to this problem & have a recall. I have read hundreds of articles of people all over the states with the same problem. The dealers are telling everyone " well we dont know what the problem is". Its their JOB! They should know!
