I hope these Suzuki part numbers help thoe of you looking for service manuals for your car. p.s These books cover both the station wagon and the sedan.
acselaration but when it comes to operating tempeture it chokes as if its not geting any air ore Fuel ?
Paid $100.00 to tell me the computer was bad
Paid $100.00 to anoter shop to tell me the Ignition coil is difective.
another $100. to anoter shop fuel pum is defective exept they will not garanty
any thing after the part is repalaiced
My service station is nice enough to let me find my own parts.....
My car has an inherent problem w/ it's emissions - the check engine light has been on & off since buying it. Was never an issue until NY State changed it's inspection rules. Anyhow, here in New York we can't pass inspection if the light is on. I have leaned how to fool my car into running a full drive cycle in order to pass prior inspections -- after my station had cleared codes. Thank GOD they don't charge me the $75.00 fee to plug me into the computer every time like some dealerships do!
I now need to pass inspection in Feb., but my check engine light is on again & the code is an oxygen sensor ($213.23 dealer price). My service station advised me that I need the "rear" sensor & to not buy a universal, but an OEM part. Does anyone have the service manual for my car & can you point me in the right direction or tell me what the original part number is?
Thank you for any help -- it will be MOST appreciated! I love my little car & can't afford to buy a new car!

2002? Any major problems to be aware of? Is it true that replacement parts are outrageous expensive? Thanks for any input!
I'm looking to install a new stereo into my Gal's 2001 Suzuki Esteem Wagon. I can't seem to find any real good information on this process and was wondering if anyone had any pointers as to what to expect from the Factory Stereo system and the Dash mounting that I will be dealing with. I refuse to drop $100+ on an entire manual when all I'm looking for is info on the audio system so, if anyone can send some knowledge my way, that'd be great. Thanks! :confuse:
I have your answer. I have a 2000 Suzuki Esteem that did the same thing for YEARS. A couple years ago, I finally had to get the car inspected in a county that checked emissions. So I failed it, because of this problem. Your CHECK ENGINE light is most likely on. After spending right at $1000 fixing EVERYTHING that the diagnosis test showed to be wrong, here is the list of parts I had checked out:
Catalytic Converter
DO2 Sensor (downstream oxygen sensor)
Camshaft sensor
ECG Flow Valve
Here's the good news... The ECG Flow Valve is pretty expensive, but they did NOT have to replace it. They just took it off and cleaned it in brake cleaner. That was the last part that finally made the check engine light turn off for good. However, the part that CAUSED your problem was the camshaft sensor. They replaced it, and it has never stalled out again. So why did I tell you about all these other parts that were bad/dirty on MY car?? Because they suggested that the camshaft sensor and the catalytic converter being bad may have very well CAUSED the other list of parts to go out. So be prepared if the list of parts I have here are also bad. They might not be, but they could. All in all, go get your camshaft sensor replaced. You can buy them for a FRACTION of the price online. Please email me at xanderortiz@yahoo.com if you need help with this. I struggled for about 4 years spending money and trying to figure this out for myself, and I'd love to help you out for free.
Im looking in to picking up the esteem wagon. I found one for a good price, however like all good deals it comes at a price.
Apparently, the wagon will idle but the throttle does not 'rev' the car up (sellers words) Anyone have any ideas on what would cause this? Is it worth buying and fixingt the problem or should I just move on?
Thanks
Does anyone have a clue? I'm thinking maybe the ABS controller module or is there a pump motor that goes with that? Are we talking big dollars?
I also have had the front and rear brakes replaced (would not pass safety inspection). I am now experiencing loud clunking noise underneath the car while
driving on bumpy roads (frost heaves) and grinding noise from the brakes or
transmission when accelerating up very steep hills and also skipping when applying
brakes on ice - suspect abs problems. Anyone have these problems? If so,
how were they resolved?
I have a 2000 Esteem Wagon.(bought used). 7 mths ago. I had no problems then 2 mths ago my accelerator started sticking after the car would warm up..but wasn't stuck when I'd first start it..( I thought it was froze- winter u know) and the car would rev up between 2500 & 3000 rpm until I put it in Drive- then it would idle fine and rev up again when i stop and put it in park. .we reset the idle - there was a small plunger that was being pushed out too far and pressing against a tab on the spring . where the accelerator cable attaches (not sure what this is called) We bent the tab out of the way of the plunger and the pedal was free at all times and she seemed to idle ok an wasn't reving.. but -she had no guts on hills or take off.. I took it to a dealer an they done an system scan - they say it's the Throttle Body that's causing this. They alsoset the idle and say there's NO ADJUSTMENT left. and that they suspect that IDLE AIR CONTROL is faulty - (is this because of the Throttle body??) Anyone have any opinions or experience on this one - would it be possible that anyone with the same problem has found that it was caused by someting other than the throttle Body? or know where I can get a used Throttle Body?... any info would be appreciated...
Thanks
I found the answer to my problem... :shades:
the Catalic Converter on the pipe was plugged..replaced it and 'Away I go!'....the 2000 wagon has 2 converters ..1 on the manifold and 1 on the pipe,, it also has 2 oxygen sensors...(I didn't replace them) hope this helps others who are having probs with their Suzuki's..
I have been searching Pick N Pull for "cheap" replacement body parts. Specific parts I seek are the front bumper cover, hood and front left fender. I bought the car new and have acquired small dings, dents and scratches. So, I'd like to re-fit parts, paint and keep this car which only has 70,000 miles. This car has been great and I see no reason not to pretty it up a bit and keep driving it.
Models with similar parts are hard to find. I was wondering if anyone knows of other Makes/Models that have body parts (especially hood/bumper) that would be inter-changeable with a Suzuki Esteem Wagon. Or, if you know a reliable site that can pinpoint what Suzuki models/years will be a sure match for my 2000 hood, 2000 bumper cover and 2000 fender.
thank you.
do you think the little esteem can handle it?
This IS NOT the O2 (oxygen sensor)!
I went to a "u pull it" junk yard and pulled one off a 1996 suzuki vitara for a dollar. Car works fine now but now I have catalytic converter problems to contend with!
If you go through suzuki for a new sensor, you have to buy the whole throttle body with it. All together your lookin at about thirteen hundred for the part.
Get ahold of a name brand part store and tell them what you need and they will let you know what all your options are. You can get one for cheap, you just have to wait a few days even a week or two to locate one for you.
You can also send in your defective sensor and they will refab it for you for about 300 bucks. No warranty of any value and you cannot drive your car without that sensor (major component sensor).
