Have a suzuki esteem 1998 1.6, the car was running fine, but after I replaced the oil gasket does not want to start, just cranks. I conected the crankshaft sensor that is located and connected in one side of the oil pan, but the car still not start. anyone have any idea what the problem is?

Not a bad job to replace the cam position sensor, it took about two hours cost about $150.00 with oem parts. First remove air filter box,remove plastic spark plug cover. Jack up engine about an inch remove engine mount. Now you can access sensor through a convenient cover that mounts around engine mount bracket extending from engine block.( one ten millimeter bolt) Remove accessory drive belt for a little extra room and replace with new one while you are in there. Just between the two cam gears you will see a torx screw that aligns the switch when in installed. DO NOT REMOVE THIS Just above the torx screw is a reverse torx screw (6 millimeter) Put a shop rag in the access hole to catch the screw just in case you drop it ,( so it does not fall into timing belt cover) Put something "sticky" in the 6 millimeter socket such as gasket sealer to keep from losing screw. remove. Pull switch up from inside spark plug cover and install new one through the same. reinstall 6 millimeter bolt. Switch is self aligning. Reinstall belt, engine mount, air box. Doing this myself probably saved me about $150.00 to $200.00 dollars

haynes should have a manual on this car, which will show the location of the cam pos sensor. check autozone or napa

SOURCE: Where are the oxygen sensors located on the 1998

the O2 sensor is located just before your catalytic converter. The MAF sensor is located on your air intake pipe just after the filter

SOURCE: 1998 suzuki esteem 1.6 will not start HELP!

Having good fuel pressure is a plus (yours seems a bit high but I don't have specs) What you need to find out is if the injectors are opening and putting the fuel into the engine so it can work. Are the plugs wet with fuel or dry? Does it fire up if you spray carb cleaner into the throttle body while cranking?

Testimonial: "thanks for quick reply..will pull plugs and inspect..wow what a great site!"

dude your electronic ignition system has gone bust... you will have to replace the engine mapping chip, but good luck finding it... I tried to no avail.

Tell me if you get it though.. Goodluck :)
