i hade the same problem with mine turns out mine was caused by the distributer being faulty. not sure if it is the same with yours but it is worth a try. if that does not work try testing your O2 sensor or idle sensor.

There is no tilt steering for a sidekick, but the hood release button is in the glove box. Then the latch is under the hood after you pressed the button. I have tilt steering on my 1995 Sidekick. There is a lever on the left side of the steering column. it releases and locks the column in place where you want it. And yes, the hood release is in the glove box.

and the sticker under the hood, look up, behold. data.
the freeze jumper is located in the Engine bay DLC.
diagnostic Logic connector.
in front of battery
and in 96 ,moved to behind right front head light shell.
and if a 1.8L engine , next to left front strut tower.

see timing belt section. for both motors , 8v and 16v.

It is a pretty big job and if you want to tackle it I suggest you get a manual from a parts store for about $18 and it will have pictures and everything. You also will have it for the next repair. Good luck.

Fist step is to remove the top cover over the top of the engine, and then remove the ignition coils (one for each cylinder, and then you need an extra deep slender spark plug socket to go in and remove the actual spark plug. The ignition device is approx 5" long and just pushes into the top of the spark plug.

the answer if for suzuki sport 1.8L (you forgot to say motor type)

the 1.6L vastly more common

you twist the spark plug wire boot on to of spark plug , this is on top of valve

cover.

then pull

then out comes boot and wire

then you attach a spark plug socket to your 3/8" driver ratchet

then blow out the spark plug well with shop air so sand dont fall into engine.

if oil is inside well the Valve cover gasket is bad.

then unscrew the spark plug CCW

then with a 1/4" id rubber hose fish the spark out of hole.

some sparkplug sockets have rubber plug retainers and some times works.

== == they are however crush bearings and need a special tool to set torque to 155lbs.

89-98 covered here.

http://www.kick-fix.com/hubs/hubs.html

the tool is $80

== == 1993 and later use a sealed cartridge wheel bearing which is not repacked, only replaced as a unit...A locknut sets the bearing preload at 180 ft/lbs.. To replace, slip mark and remove hubs, remove lockplate, locknut, trust washer, and seal. Remove Hub and Wheel bearing snap ring and then bearing will probably need to be pressed out of the hub.. It is involved...(Get a good manual or a good mech)

if this is the 8valve engine.

the Dashpot vacuum device must not be actived on a running car (after 10seconds)

or the VSV to it is malfunctioning. (this device DP is behind the throttle body)

or lost vacuum to it .

on 16v, the IAC thermal air valve most not be stuck open hot, it must be closed hot.

100% make sure coolant hits 180F (150f is threshold) or the IAC will fail.

and scream it will.

All 8v engines scream for ANY vacuum leaks. Speed density tech.

all 16v scream cold but go lean and stall for vacuum leaks. (unmetered air rules)

look for a vacuum leak on top of the intake towards the front. on mine it was the line connected to the two valves attahed to valve cover.mine is a 1989 so i don't know if yours is in the same place but it's either a vacuum leak or the idle speed control.a

The lights on the Sidekick simply twist out from the rear of the fixture. Open the hood, unplug the wiring assembly, and twist the light bulb assembly about a 1/4 turn. You can then pull the light from the headlamp housing.

== == http://www.kick-fix.com

what engine. there are 2 and both are different.

but the answer is , adjust the idle bleed screw on the throttle body in both cases.

but high idle , means something else is wrong.

re post , what motor you have. 8v or 16v

== == == == Try this web site, http://www.blaireau.com:8081/manuel/swift%20pdf/G13%20Engine%20Adjustments.pdf. It's for the 1993 suzuki swift but there is also specs on the sidekick as well. Otherwise your local library should have service manuals that you can make copies from. Other than that your local auto partsstore should have Chiltons brand manuals for sale. Hope this helps!!

It is under the hood on the drivers side. Close to the windshield. The Suzuki Esteem, has two fuse blocks. You can find one of them under the hood, on drivers side, but it's another one under the dash, drivers side right side to the hood opener handle.

pull dome fuse above knee. in fuse box. pulling battery makes ecu relearn everything. dome fuse resets memory only.

Maybe just disconnect battery for a couple of minutes and it will reset

More than likely, the pump is inside the tank. You may want to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.I need to know why I can not get fuel to the engine . I have put on a new pump .The pump is working but not getting any fuel to engine

I just got done doing this on mine! be aware though, mine dosen't have air conditioning! and it is a 97 jx! First, you have to loosen the power steering pump, it has a swing bolt on top and a short bolt located right behind the power steering pully. You will need a 3/8 socket wrench with a 12mm socket and fit it between the spaces on the pulley as the bolt is only accessed from the front of the pump. this bolt is just under the pulley shaft. You can see the bolt from under the car. My pump was set at the lowest point of swing and then had a belt put on (factory). I had to pry it off! I replaced it with the next size up so that putting on the new one would be no problem. The other belt is easier, you have to loosen the top swing bolt on the alternator and the bottom bolt, then just loosen the alternator and the belt will come off. NOTE: you need to use the 3/8 on this one too and the 12mm socket if you can, but be aware that the engine mount is right in front of the bottom bolt and gives you very little room for movement you will need to be on that bolt straight or you risk rounding off the bolt. these bolts seem pretty soft. well i because i didnt have this info, i found out the hard way!!!!!!!!!
