Hello had engine check light come on today, all seams to be running as usual. Idle fluctuates on warm up seams a little sluggish 5th gear is basically redundant and its kaining through fuel. How its been since ive owned it (2-3 months). It shows code 24 as possible problem with vehicle speed sensor ...

Can anyone tell me how i find out which ratio diffs i have fitted please? Are there part numbers?
Thank you

Morning :) i am still yet to remove front diff as i have had other more important things to get fixed(brakes) but just doing a little more research on diff ratios. Is it possible i could have a 5:12 upfront but a 4:87 rear.. Causing the fronts to skip? I have recently had a noisey wheel bearing repl...

Would a picture help identify the engine? Or is it defintley single port injection? I did think its wierd that a 98 would still be carbed. Ill have a search for the diagnostics port i guess if i have one then that will answer the question? Does the dash need to be removed to take the clocks out and ...

Ok thanks Twiss i litterally dont know the first thing about carbs! Are there any useful links to explain whats what? Is the plenum chamber directly under the air intake?

Can anyone point me in the right direction please? I have a 1998 vitara jx 1.6 8v carb 5 speed. I seam to have a fluctuating idle only on warm up, once warm it idles perfectly and seams to run fine albeit a little thirsty. Should i have a dianostics port or does it work through the dash? I have no e...
