About David 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

Suzuki - 1990 GEO Tracker LSI Ground Problem
Expert: David Scott - 11/5/2009
Question
The previous owner of my Tracker has done some crazy wiring in the engine bay and under the dash. I think the battery ground may have also been placed in a bad position causing me starting problems. The ground from the battery goes to a bolt from the starter and a separate cable from the battery to the inner fender wall. Could the ground going to the starter bolt affect the grounding of the starter itself? Should this wire go to the frame instead?
Answer
Suzuki is fond of running a ground wire to the trans , bell housing, starter, block or wherever depending on what it is. As long as there's a wire from the battery to the engine, or starter,(a relatively big one, and another to the body and /or frame, you're good. (The electrons don't know or care, so long as the wires are big enough to carry the power.
