engine check light.

i perchaced a jreg swift gti and when i put my foot down and accelerate in gear it gets to about 4500 rpm maybe 5000 and the engine check light comes on. if you take your foot off and reaply it then goes, doesnt always do it just some times? does any one have any idears on what this could be?

thats a strange one, try reseting the ecu and doing a diognostic and see if anything comes up. also check your oil and your timing. Is it a UK spec gti?

hi, yes it is a uk spec gti bog standard nothing done to it! how do you go about reseting the ecu or running checks? would you have to take it to suzuki or can you buy somthing to do it with?
i can check the timing and all te rest. what is it 10 degrees on these same as sj and vits?

i think its 8deg at 800rpm.

To reset ECU remove the earth lead to the battery for 1 minute then re-attach (do this first). then start the car and run for 5-10 minutes.

On the fuse box by your right foot there is a fuse socket without a fuse in it which sticks out a little further than the rest. Put a fuse in it with engine off and turn the key to ignition on. The engine check light will flash in a kind of morse code, like once, then twice. Do this and let me know the flashing sequence and i'll look up what it means

thanks stevieh6 thats a great help i will get on it when i get home from work tomorow night and let uyou now how it goes.

a list of codes is on page 189 in the manual

hi guys i poped a fuse in and got the code it was giving me,
it was; 1 pause then 2 together? i dond have a manual yet.

12 means all good wierd

steve

check your charge rate through the rev range

did u reset the ecu 1st because i wudnt of, as it would wipe out the previous error, u will have 2 wait for the light to come on again then do the test again.

6 deg for the timing

gary

yeah do what Almondo74 says, drive it until fault occurs, then check the code again.

ok i will do im guna take her out again tonight and see if it does it im pritty sure it did do it last nite but had my eyes on the road thought i saw it flash once, i will also take it to my friends work shop and check the timing with his light.

i think the fuel pump mite be a bit dicky as some times it will start fine and others you mite have to turn it over a few times and pump the gas!

hi guys i poped a fuse in again today after a drive when it was doing it i got 2flashs then one flash! havent managed to check the timing yet thow.

21 is the throttle position sensor

buy a suzuki workshop manual off of ebay check the continuity in the tps also check the voltage to and from it and may aswell recalibrate it while a there

steve

hi guys i tried to check the continuity of the tps going off of the manuel and dont seem to be getting the readings it was showing in the manual, would i have to get a new sensor from suzuki or is there anywere else that would sell them?

Im selling a spare TPS if your interested, havent been able to test it but came off a working engine a few weeks ago
