Suzuki sidekick alternator problems Videos

I took it in to have it fixed. First it was the crank sensor and then the cam sensor went out. It will cost some money because the transmission had to be taken out to get to the sensors. I recently had to replace my alternator and that was easy. That was the only time my car died while i was driving. I like your +Chris Redfield d name. Are you a fan of Resident Evil?

What I know from my mechanic is that the Cam and Crank sensor needed to be replaced. Other maintenance I've done myself includes draining the power steering fluid and replenished it, changed an idler pulley bearing, tensioner bearing and replaced the serpentine belt. My car runs very smooth now. It still idles low sometimes when I come to a stop, but I hear thats an easy fix. The reason I replaced my power steering fluid is because the steering wheel was not fluid and my car was making a loud ticking/grinding sound when I made hard turns.

Have you checked the water pump, hoses or anything? Just trying to think of all of the items that would be... How is the sx4 by the way? I've thought about getting one but the problem is lack of dealerships I can get work done at. There's one near my house about 20 minutes away...but it's one of two in the whole state of Michigan

Never found out for sure, seems to be slack in the timing chain. Not enough to be a problem, but just enough to cause vibrations and the noise. I no longer have this car anyway so it's someone else problem now!

the big end mate. its done the baring. I bought mine new - at 150000k it went. I think the oil; light sensor is in the wrong place and it does not go on when the oil is too low.
