This should be a simple solution rock your vehicle forward then reverse on running engine
they call this trans lock usually happens on hills or pressing down the shifting knob
get a few friends to help push forward if cant start vehicle because in gear its like the old 4x4 hubs in order to get out of lock it needs to be rolled a little
my little 4x4 did same thing called a friend he told me same way to fix

SOURCE: 99 buick Lesabre

hey thanks for bringing me up to speed. ive been working on many other problems but with your great explanation i remember.
we need to check the compression on that cyl. and compare it to the compression on 2 other cylinders your choice.
but before you do this get a can of carb cleaner . and with the car idling spray around the intake manifold in the area of #6 cyl. what we are looking for is a small vacuum leak that would also act like this. with the engine idling and spraying around the intake the engines idle sould not change and if it does when you spray you have an intake leaking.
let me know how it turns out.
later
paul

Sounds like you have a bad fuel gauge sending unit.

SOURCE: suzuki sidekick clutch problem

Check the cable clearance. Too much clearance will cause clutch slippage or total clutch disengagement. Adjust the cable so that the clutch pedal will be hard to press by hand .5 to .75 inch from its initial point.

Why does the overdrive light on my 1993 suzuki sidekick flash

OD flash means the 4speed, electronically shifted (TCM) is seeing an error, it has flash codes , pull them and see. what they are.

The power wire for my voltage condenser broke off?
try to be more exact. tell the exact place and wire color.
the 93 had 2 engines, 8v and 16v the latter is MPI with 4 injectors the former has 1 injector. which do you have.?

Gas over flow on Suzuki Sidekick 1995

Could be a leaking fuel injector or faulty pressure regulator.
I would unplug the injectors first and see if the flooding stops.
You may have to test each injector to find the defective one.

I have a 95 suzuki sidekick jx and it wont start. it tries sometimes but wont start. it has good spark, 180psi compression, has fuel, timing is good. if i hold the throttle wide open it will start and run...

My first guess would be a leaking fuel pressure regulator or a problem with the injector grounds. The injectors may be "on" too much.
Is the check engine light on when you can get it running ?

My sidekick will just die or barely run it died

last year, OBD1 car (dumbb ECU)
no scan tools for it
if you run on the road with that hack , and wreck
expect a nice fire. fuel fire.
if you used a voltmeter and say 12vdc there, all hotwiring stuff
need not be done. (
it stalled (misfire)
and then would not what? start but cranks ok?
4wd?
3sp ,4sp auto or 5speed stick
16v engine or 8v, both are G16s but EFI radially different.
16v is MPI with 4 injectors, 8v is 1 injector TBI
try a new
cap,.rotor spark wires and spark plugs yet?
cant burn fuel with bad spark
i guess the cam bent did not slip as it run ok later, but is 60,000 mile belt. and will slip ignored.

next time it stalls
check headlamps they work, and all electric
then see if CEL glows key on, i must or ECU lost power
it has 3 fuse that can rust, IG coil, FI, and DOME.
the CEL must glow, is first checks.

95 sidekick, will start but will cut out within one minute,while it is running and I give it a shot of gas it will bog down and then quit.

u have a weak fuel pump, i had the same problem in mine, the pressure running from you're fueld pump to the injectors should be around 45 to 60 pounds, mine only had 30, i would change the fuel pump and see how that does, if not the change the injectors

1993 suzuki sidekick 4 door has a rough idle. all 6 injectors are fine. problem is worse when engine is cold . Problem is also worse when the engine is warm and the air conditioner is on.

Check or change plugs and wires, and check timing. Aim a timing light at the mark on the crank. If the mark jumps around, your belt has slipped.

My 1995 suzuki sidekick idling problem

Check if you put back all the air (vacuum hoses) hoses to their proper places. You might inter change them making the EGR valve open. Also check your fuel filter and fuel injectors.

95 suzuki sidekick turns over but won't catch

sometimes a fuel filter will get clogged and unclog as the fuel pressure drops enough for the gunk to settle back down. Does the car die when you are driving it? The other option is a component or wire will get hot and fail only to work when the engine/component cools.
