SOURCE: When do I need to replace the timing belt? My

Hello michele151: My name is Roger and I will answer your question. The manufacturer recommends replacing the belt at 60,000 miles and inspecting the belt at 30,000 miles. This would also be a good time to check the water pump as the timing belt turns it also. I always recommend replacing the timing belt with a timing kit as this way you also have the parts to replace the idler bearings at the same time. these are small bearings that turn a million times and do wear out. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer as this way I know it was of use. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

If it is on the end of the tension arm, it is an idler pulley. All others turn something like the alternator, water pump, etc.. Remove the belt again and spin each pulley by hand (except the crankshaft pulley) while listening for squeal or rough turning. Go to Autozone or similar parts store which can supply the part as well as identify it by description. Hope this helps!

How can I set the timing and firing order?

Engine timing is done electronically. It is based on Cylinder 1 being a few degrees before TDC (Top Dead Centre of firing stroke).

Valve Timing is set using marks when you change the timing belt or chain. That is set with Piston 1 at TDC on FIRING stroke.

Here is the firing order. It is nice and easy, 1, 2, 3, 4, left to right.

My 2004 suzuki forenza take 3 to 5 time to start then run and start all day . next day same thing. I put on a fuel pump and a injector damper on the injector fuel rail. What is the pomblem

Testing for a failed fuel pump check valve - YouTube
Fixed Check Valve (Fuel Pump Test and Replacement) on 2005 Suzuki Forenza - YouTube
If you replaced the fuel pump with a new complete fuel pump assembly you might want to run the test and see if you can change out the pump for another. It seems the most likely problem is the check valve in the fuel pump assembly.

Where is the inertia switch located on a 2007 suzuki forenza?

the Daewoo wonder wagon, in snake clothing.
and 6 engines, ill guess at gasoline engine.
so what makes you think there is one, (hope:? dreams, rumors?)
you have zero fuel pressure, is that it? did you check that first?
got spark?
run on test fuel?
yes then
do you have 12vdc top the pump cranking> yes/no,

there is no electric fuel switch, period, only the Std, fuel pump relay
that PCM operates only.

that leaves fuel line switches (inertial fuel valves, real name)
and the fuel diagram, shows, no such part.! it's not there, in USA car
is it a USA car?
so you are guessing.?
thanks for the goose chase. what a waste.
why not , post the symptoms and get real DIAGNOSTIC help
and avoid this goose chase.
what's bad is suzuki online parts , suck they have no online drawings.
do you want go Guess, or test.
do say.

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.

What are the parts needs to be replaced after 100k miles for 2004 suzuki forenza

A little more clarification would be nice, meaning, have you ever serviced the car other than oil changes? Bare minimum, do the timing belt, timing belt tensioner, the two timing belt idler pulleys, water pump, and spark plugs. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: there are two designs for the water pump. Aftermarket water pumps will be a LOT cheaper, however, are the old design the majority of the time. Problem with the old design is the timing belt rides a bit on one edge of the pulley (not visibly noticeable) and you run the risk of the pulley on the water pump breaking after so many miles which will cause your timing to become out of synch, which results in internal engine damage (either a head job needing to be done or a new engine). A Suzuki dealer will have the undated design of the water pump, however, it is pricey ($302 plus tax).

With that being said, to tell if an aftermarket water pump is the correct design, look at the pulley and if the outer edge of the pulley is thinner than the inner edge, then you have the updated design. Usually aftermarket brands GMB and Gates will be correct.

If this helps, please indicate so! Thanks! :-)

I have a 2007 Suzuki Forenza Sedan. I have no break pedal pressure, the pads are new and the fluid level is correct. I can pump the pedal several times, push the pedal all the way to the floor and the left...

Sounds like you're having an issue with your master cylinder, or you just need to add break fluid and bleed the lines. If you don't know how to do that, take it to a mechanic.
