YES, as long as both engines are a 1.6L 8V then the ECM's are the same.
The EGR valve on a 1998 Suzuki Sidekick is not repairable. It has no replaceable or user serviceable pieces or parts.
It is screwed into the intake manifold between the throttle body and the valve cover
The PCV Valve on a 1998 Suzuki Sidekick is located on top of the manifold. There is a small plastic cover that can be taken apart by pulling sideways on it. It has two or three hoses attached and is sometimes colored blue.
16 valve engine not put in a Tracker till 1996. 1994 Tracker is 8 valve (but a Sidekick may have the 16 valve in 1994) Actually there were 16 valve Trackers before 96. I have an early 95 which is 16v version. I believe 16v engines started somewhere between 91-94. I do know that the valve covers usually state 16 valve when it is. ,the spark plugs in a 16 valve are waaayy down in the top of the engine,you need about a eight inch extention to get at them
Counter clockwise
If you get the chilton manuel for Suzuki Samurai/Sidekick/Tracker... #66500...1986-98, you can find the diagram on page 4-46. It is labeled as #10 on the diagram of the engine. It looks like it attached to the bottom edge of the fuel injection system. I hope this is of some use. p.s. this is for a 1.6 TFI engine.
On the 1993 Suzuki Sidekick, the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve is typically located on the valve cover. It may be found near the rear of the engine, connected to a rubber hose that leads to the intake manifold. To access it, you might need to remove other components depending on the engine configuration. Always refer to a specific repair manual for detailed guidance.
if they are both 16 -valve engines ,yes if one is 8-valve & the other is 16-valve, then short block only ANSWER: The '95 and '97 Trackers have different sensors and ECU's. The only way you could put a '95 engine in an '97 TRacker would be if you also had the ECU from the '95
The valve adjustment on a 1996 Suzuki Sidekick 1.6L involves checking and adjusting the clearance between the valve stems and the rocker arms to ensure proper engine performance. This is typically done using feeler gauges to measure the gap, which should be adjusted to the specifications outlined in the service manual. The process requires removing the valve cover, and adjustments can be made using shims or adjusting screws, depending on the engine design. Regular maintenance of valve clearance helps in maintaining optimal engine efficiency and longevity.
The eight-valve engine distributor rotor turns clockwise with a firing order of 1-3-4-2. The sixteen-valve engine has the same firing order but the rotor turns counterclockwise. The number one distributor terminal is not the same for both engines. Make sure to trace the number one spark plug wire back to the distributor for verification.
The Sidekick 1.6 Liter 16 Valve conversion is by far the most popular. The 1.8 conversion could be done but they only used that engine for a couple of years. It is not a popular engine. I have the 1.6 conversion is a 1986 Suzuki Samurai. The major components are: Transmission adapter to connect to the Samurai transmission. Engine mounts from Sidekick Oil Pan and Oil Pick-up needs to be cut down unless the Samurai is raised to allow room for front axle. Computer and wiring from Sidekick must be installed into the Samurai. All of the engine controls, air filter, MAF, high pressure fuel pump. There is a speedometer conversion as well. It adds a magnetic (reed) relay to the speedometer and lets the computer know when the car is moving. -EVERYTHING- moves over from the donor vehicle including (most times) the third member gears because they are lower than a Samurai. Samurai=3.73 Sidekick (auto)=4.62 Sidekick (Man)= 5.12 All of these items can be purchased separately from several Suzuki aftermarket suppliers on the web.
head valves no. it will wreck the cat convert and flood motor because the eCu will go nuts with a dead cylinder and pulsing vacuum.
