Why does your 1996 Suzuki Sidekick 1.8 liter keep burning out 2 ignition coil 1 for each cylinder?
high mileage, will kill all 4.
or are you saying?
i have 1 cylinder that just burned out a brand new cop coil.
if you really are burniing out coils, then your alternator is bad.
the regulator in side is bad and lets voltage rise too high.
test the alternator.
make sure the black battery cables is tight at BOTH ends.
What valve is used to set the timing on on a 1994 Suzuki Sidekick JLX 16 valve?
Both valves of the number one piston must be closed. This happens when the camshaft gear timing mark is lined up with the mark on the camshaft seal cover(mark is right on top-a notch in the top center of the plate of metal sticking up). The problem is that there are two marks on the gear and both have the "E" stamped nearby as required. Through trial and error I was able to determine the one that created pressure from the piston(because the wrong mark, when lined up, left one or more valves open so I felt no pressure.) Yet I still had problems getting the timing correct.

What is the spark plug gap for a 1997 suzuki sidekick?
0.029 in.
...........for both 1.6L and 1.8L engine
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.

How do you clean sidekick 3 trackball?
This is almsot the same but trickier.
Get a regular wooden toothpick.
Break it in half where one end is long, thin, and pointy.
Gently insert it in the crevice around the trackball and move it around the ball like a hook. This will pull all of that stuff out or at least a chunk of it. That's what I did. I was pretty excited too, i got A LOT out. Try it and be gentle, you don't want the toothpick breaking.
Maybe you can come up with your own variation too, like something just as thin and not as breakable like a toothpick.
I hope you guys try this, it really helps a lot.

What is the gear ratio on the front differential on a 1994 suzuki sidekick?
There are four ways to find a ratio.
1 A dealer can normally tell from the vin number.

info.
3 You can count how many times you have to turn the driveshaft to get one complete turn of the tires.
4 You can count the number of teeth on the ring gear and divide by number of teeth on the pinion gear.
As I recall:
4.62 Automatic Transmission.
