If you cant replace the transmission fluid yourself is it okay to just add a couple of quarts to tide you over until you can get to a auto shop?

You can only put enough fluid in the transmission until the fluid is up too the full line on the dip stick, DO NOT OVER FILL IT!!!!

Where is the o2 sensors on a 94 suzuki sidekick?

On the exhaust pipe between the exhaust manifold and the catilitic converter. Looks kind of like a spark plug screwed into the pipe.

Why would a 1996 Suzuki Sidekick jx not start unless you remove one spark plug wire?

If it is the same plug every time, I would say the plug or wire is grounding out some where. Try replacing the plug the the wire.

Can you put Suzuki samurai doors on a Suzuki sidekick?

Not hardly, although hinges and latches look similar they are completely different. As an example, the Samurai hinges are on the outside of the door and on Sidekick they are concealed in between the door and front fender.

They will not fit.

How do you change a cigarette lighter in a suzuki sidekick?

Take the ashtray out and remoive the 4 screws you see there. Then, take the stereo out and remove the other two screws that hold the faceplate on. Remove the knobss off the heating/cooling controls. Slide the face plate off and guide the heater controls through the opening.

You now have a clear view and easy access tothe back of the cigarette lighter assembly. Unplug the electrical connector and unscrew the locknut from behind the cigarette lighter receptacle. The whole assembly should come out along with the small rectagular metal plate that goes around the receptacle.

If you have very small hands and you have three of them, you can also remove the lighter by going up behind the console by hump on the driver's side.

Good luck! And, good luck finding a replacement. New ones can cost as much as $70!

Where is the Suzuki sidekick fuel pump located?

I have a 1993 sidekick and the fuel pump is located in the tank. It is necessary to drop the fuel tank to replace since there are no hatches to remove to get to the top of the tank. This is probably the common repair procedure for most fuel injected vehicles.

What is wrong when car shakes when idling?

If your car is shaking while it is idling, it is most likely your automatic choke. The automatic choke is not operating correctly but if you remove the choke and put a lubricant on it, it should stop shaking.

Will a suzuki sidekick air conditioner fit in a suzuki samurai?

No, the compressor mounts and the dash mounted evaporator are different. It might be able to be adapted with a great deal of work but the power in a Samurai will suffer severely. We are talking downshift to third gear on overpasses!
I am working on that exact conversion. Will it fit? It depends on exactly what you mean, it is not an exact fit and will not just bolt together.

The compressor mounts are different. They can be modified to fit though with drilling and welding.

The inside evaporator discharges in the same general area but some sort of adapter will be required. It's mounts are slightly different.

Use this documentation to decide for yourself:

http://www.suzukiinfo.com/sierra/samuraiacinstall.pdf

It is a nice AC install manual for the '92 Suzuki, very informative and shows the complete installation in great detail.

Generally, I would say it will fit with a gross helping of interpretation, good luck.

How do you adjust the idle on a 1992 Suzuki Sidekick JLX?

== == 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!!
