AboutDavid Scott Expertise Questions regarding the advisability of different kinds of modifications to Samurai/Sidekick/Tracker or various kinds of off-road usage. I will not attempt to do more than provide links for questions about other Suzukis such as Vitara, Grand Vitara, etc. I may or may not give generalized advice for newer models, but have no experience regarding newer models, and will not attempt to give more than the most generalized answers for questions regarding vehicles later than '93 manufacture. I will however, if possible, provide a link that will help you contact a professional in your region.
Experience I've been a professional mechanic for over thirty five years, live in the center of the Rocky Mountains, and have been active in exploring the old mining/4wd roads for decades. I've specific experience with Samurai modification, because that's my personal vehicle.
Education/Credentials Thirty five years of advanced, intensive classes for experienced professionals only. Manufacturer seminars and training classes averaging four to six weeks per year. I'm now a professional heavy duty fleet mechanic, and no longer deal with issues such as MIL (check engine) lights

Question I also have the intermitent starting problem. I looked on the izook site for the relay kit you mentioned, but cant seem to find it. Do you know where I could get one one, or am I better off changing the ignition switch and not doing the relay? Which do you reccomend? Hope to hear from you - Thanks - Ben
Answer It's there. Go to izook dot com, click links, click rocky road outfitters, click engine, and it's in that section, it's $23. the problem is that the starter needs more to the solenoid than the wiring and ignition switch supplies. The relay solves that.
