Expert: David Scott Date: 5/20/2004 Subject: Suzuki Sidekick RPM Drop off when I come to Stops
Question Hay David
I have a 1995 Suzuki Sidekick 1.6 (16) Valve 2-door that I have totally tricked out with MSD SCI ignition controller, K&N Filtercharger, High-Flow Exhaust system, Electric Cooling Fan, Lowered with 2-tone paint inside and out.
The car has been a total joy but as of late the RPM's have been dropping off the almost stall when I come up on stop lights.
I replaced Plugs, Plug Wires, Distributor Cap/Cap and Cold Start Temp. Switch.
It has 76k miles on it and I noticed that this issue started around the time I loaned the car to my ex-wife and it come back with a crack in the muffler.
Any help would be great!

Answer You'll have to check in a manual for all the trouble hooting data, but as I remember from my sidekick, the tps has lots to do with idle. Don't think it has to do with a muffles problem, but it could concievably be connected to a marginal/old oxy sensor. It's all in the book. You need one. I wouldn't even consider not having a manual for my vehicle. Go thou and do likewise.
