what are the torque specs for the 1999 suzuki esteem 1.8L engine "Head bolts"?

define haywire.?dead, off, and is odometer off too?stopped, you mean the car stalled?when the engine stalls you see the following (driving school 101)1: quiet , now. from engine.2: steering and braking get harder. up to 6 times harder.3: RPM tachometer shows 0 RPM.4: Speed drops and lands on zero as car stops or you run out of down hill free right.so did engine stall? does it restart,?

what year? what tranny, ? a/t or m/tthe lamps if good ?will always work if the following are good.the fuse (see glove box oper. guide)the tranny switch. bad.the wires, between these?and the lamps.?if the fuse is good, and the lamps.(easy as pie checks) Btw lamps can short, try new ones, or one at time (hint)then it's a hard fail.you take a voltmeter (any ) and measure the voltage at both pins in the TRANNY switch,front side 12v, person 2, keyon, and in reverse (not running the engine.)rear pin, goes to 12v as reverse, (lil magic)yes, ? wires cut to rear, (trailer hacks ! are 99% factor)no?, the switch is bad. $$$$$$$ if A/T , if M/T cheap.if say the voltage is near 6-8v (not 12 ) this is a shorted circuit.finding shorts can be found by inspection, this feed line, Harness.there are other methods, "hot wire or test light"but the Voltmeter will never lie. and the hot wire way can cost 5 boxs of fuses. its always your choice.

double posted.

( connected backwards)or you blew the fuses in the engine bay.use a volt meter to find the problem.

You might want to clean the battery terminals. If they are clean have the new battery checked out most auto parts stores will provide this service free. If not the battery or dirty terminals check that your cables are not corroded might be time to replace them. Also if everything looks good also check your fuzzes. That should get you started... Hope it helps...

you failed to state year of car, ??????????the car has 2 brains, the ECU, and tranny TCM.ECU is for the engine, EFI the other is for the automatic transmission.if you blow fuse, my guess, and not stated, it can be lots of things.state the symptoms, not guessing...join here. and ask.. http://www.fixkick.com/bbs2/Suzuki-bbs/

what country, all countries, use , unique wiring, and colorscountry brand, suzuki, model Esteem. and what engine.we have 2 engines here, other countries more.and the wiring diagram for the whole car fills a room.try to post a system, that if failing..... on the car.and we can produce a schematic for just that spot and not 100 pages.If car is in USA, all this and more, is at alldata dot com or at mitchells . and suzuki sells a FSM. its there too.my 04 has FSM the size of new york phone directory.

see the steps and fix it. God bless youWhen you turn the ignition ON before starting the car, the "Check engine" light is supposed to come on indicating that the engine computer (also could be called ECM, PCM, or ECU) is powered on. If the "Check engine" light does not come with the ignition ON, it's possible that there is no power coming to the engine computer (e.g., due to a broken wire, faulty main relay, burnt fuse, etc.) or that there is a problem with the engine computer itself.

wow no year stated or engine option,,,,, a hard row to hoe.......the pump dont create spark but all cars cut fuel if there is no spark.for , fire safety. fix spark first. ignore all other symptoms.Cranks but does not spark is the #1 symptom.2nd is no spark, i guess that means at all spark plugs and not one?what engine do you have,, Esteems dont come one just 1 engine.so discover that engine, code, like G16 or J18?The G16 has distributor, the J18 has COP coils x4apples and oranges different.So i will answer non specifically.When you crank, does the tachometer needle move about 300 rpm?with the scan tool do you see DTC errors as you crank for 5 seconds> release key and look? with key still on>?P0340s 355s? etc>?when cranking does the scan tool show RPM? moving up scale?if car is 96 or newer year, the car has 2 devices that makes sparkone is CMP and the other is CKP. on the G16 engines, itonly needs CMP to make spark ( then ignitor, then coil, the distributor.) did you change you G16 timing belt at 60k miles>?if not it may not generate spark due to the dizzy timing is way off now. the J18 engine has no Dizzy (distributor) it has COP.aka: DIS Distributorless ignition SystemThe car has CMP on the back side of the left cam.It can go dead, but the ECU will tell you this fact of you useas scan tool in the proper way, the proper way is to crank for 5 seconds, and release keyand look for stored codes. do not turn key off,until you scan for DTCs live, in memory or pending. The J18 has 4 COPs check each for spark, not just one.you can swap the bad ones around , and see if its bad.post engine size and year, and you'd be amazed at better posts.

sorry that was not a question.you need to had, how to change. how to buy, where to buy, what are the rebuilding steps.did you know most seal fails are victims of bearing fail.i bet not. when the bearing is sloppy it beats the seal to death.cause and effect. (work cause and win)got gear pullers.if not get a rebuilt.

english please

The balls in the joint are pitted. There may be a tear in the boot by the wheel where moisture and dirt have gotten in. The axle assy. will have to be replaced.

use a screw drive socket on a ratchet wrench
