You have no idea how you've helped us. Million thanks

Superb video, great explanation of what's going on in the system and how to test it all. I wish more auto repair vids were like this.

Frank Cook stands for excellence! I have cancer and the medications I take make one nauseous a good part of the time. Your videos are quick, simple and concise. Therefore I can work on my Suzuki without a great deal of useless procedures I get on other videos. I thank you so much!!

Thanks for the videos. All of them are really, really useful. Keep up the good work, man. :)

Great explanation. Very helpful.

Very informative sir. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

Appreciate the info!

I blew into the bottom and I couldn’t breathe through it so there was no vacuum going through my modulator. Assuming it failed a just blocked off and deleted the egr system. I assumed it failed and didn’t want to buy a new one for $170 Lol thanks for the vid it was very helpful diagnosing my problem

You will probably not notice any difference if the egr is plugged and not working. Possibly a small drop in fuel mileage depending on how you drive. I don't really understand what you blew into based on your comment, but if it is as old as mine then there is a good chance that it is clogged up. I recommend removing the intake air surge tank and intake manifold and spending a few hours trying to clean those out some time when you don't need the car for a few days. It is probably nothing critical, but mine had a lot of oily crud in it from the egr system.

Thanks mate

You are welcome. I made the video to help myself understand. One of the best ways to really "get" something is to explain it to someone else. When I started this project the only thing I knew about the EGR is what the letters stood for, seriously, that is all I knew. Now I am very confident about my knowledge of the EGR system and looking forward to understanding the ECM with equal confidence.

Thanks for the video! I have a 1991 Suzuki Sidekick, 3 speed auto, and my engine light keeps showing code 51. I replaced the EGR Valve $400 and it came back on. Also, my tranny delays going into 2nd gear cold until about 3 minutes of driving. Then it shifts fine. The mechanic said it's related to the EGR System because the tranny uses a vacuum pressure sensor to shift properly. I need to figure out how to resolve both but not sure what else to test or replace next. It won't pass smog until I get the check engine light and code 51 fixed. The system looks simple enough but the problem is I don't want to keep throwing $$ at parts that don't solve the problem.

I think trying to solve a problem by replacing parts is an awful troubleshooting strategy. Your car has many differences than mine. On the '95 model the egr sensor is just a temperature switch so that when the egr valve gets too hot it gives a code. I have no vacuum connection to my 4 spd transmission. I would try to figure out what sensors on your car could possible cause the code and how they work. Once you know that then you should be able to ID the problem. If the problems turn out to be unrelated then I would suspect worn plates in the 2nd gear cluster (need to get warmed up before catching) assuming they have probably never been replaced. Keep in mind that I've never worked on a '91 model and don't know the details of your situation.

I was wondering if you have any advice on 94 sidekick 16 v overheating? Will idle for long time no problem, but when I put it in gear, it will overheat.

Sir thnk you so much for your video. Sir me i ask a question to you. For your valve clearance you use what MM you use of suzuki carry sir. Im from phil. Ang i use also suzuki carry model 1999. Hope u answer my question. God bless always

On the 1995 Suzuki 1.6L, 16 Valve model, the valve lash clearance is 0.13 to 0.17 mm on cold engine (15 to 25 C). I do not know what engine you have on your '99 Carry. See my video on engine head rebuild for more information about the valves. Hope this helps.

Hi Frank , your knowledge of these trucks are very impressive. So having said that I hope you can help me with my problem . 1994 suzuki 1.6 liter, 16 valve , I cant get my idle down to 800 or 850 ,engine is sputtering . What do you think .Thank you for your time .

Can eney of that make my sidekick surge up and down at idle and still drive just fine

@nunapitchuk

No, because the EGR system shuts off when you take your foot off the gas peddle. It has something to do with air intake and/or timing. First easy thing to check is that air filter is clean and dry. The trouble shooting gets much more detailed after that. If you are a do-it-yourself kind of person then message me on my face book page and I will try to help: facebook.com/SidekickRebuild/

how about ISC (IAC) do you have any clip about check ohm or clean that? Thanks so much!

The vacuum hose connected to the throttle body, does it have vacuum all the time even at idle? My does not have vacuum, even when i rev the engine at idle. Is it normal?

@nunapitchuk

Yes, there should be vacuum there. Might try sticking a pipe cleaner with some carb cleaner in it to make sure it's clear. If you connect the tube with the engine running and put your finger over the tube you should feel a little suction at idle. Thinking about it just now, I guess I have never actually done that so maybe I'm wrong, but I would expect to feel a little suction.
