87 has no ECU. so must be an engine swap to a 89 or newer tracker
or last sammi that did have EFI.
you said EFI and Carb in same paragraph and that is a contradiction.
post to my bbs for more help.

post a link to a photo of your engine, many sammy cars have a newer engine and EFI added. no matter we can fix it, but you need to learn whats under the hood first, photos rule in this word.

Do you have any other modifications such as larger tires? The 1.3L engine puts out enough HP and Torque to run the stock size tires, but if you go up to a 31" or larger you will loose the ability to use 5th gear except for downhill runs with a tailwind. The stock carb is just too restrictive and is designed for fuel economy and low emissions.
If you do have stock wheels on it then the stock carb should be able to turn them. The problem may not be in the carburator body itself though. If any of the vacuum lines, solenoids, vacuum switches or EGR on the carb are defective or not hooked up correctly the Little Hitachi carb will not function correctly.
If you don't live in a state that has CARB emission standards then you should go with an aftermarket carb and a set of headders. The Webber is a popular and very easy replacement. Opening up the exhaust to about 2" with a set of headders will allow it to breath well and still have enough back pressure to give you low end torque.

There's two sending units in the intake. The little on with single prong at the t-stat housing is for the guage and the bigger one plastic connector is for ecm.
Your signal is getting grounded somewhere.

ok theres a pcv valve located between the carb and the valve cover. its screwed into the intake manifold. make sure it is hooked up. also check for any vacuume leaks. if you find any cracked hoses, replace them.
also for the guy whos sami sputters on turns. check the ground stud located above the battery on the firewall. if its loose or corroded clean it up and tighten it.check the ground strap coming from the distributor area between the engine and firewall. make sure its in good shape. alot of times the distributor o rings leak oil on the wiring and rot it out. thats easy to repair also. check your engine mounts by standing on one side of the hood and grabbing the engine and pulling it side to side. the mounts are known for wearing out. they are fairly easy to replce and cheap. about 20 a piece if not less.

Car 1994 Suzuki Vitara (Sidekick), 3 door, carburetor, petrol.
I need a hose diagram for the carburetor. The person who owned it before made a mess of the system so its not throttling steadily. Hoses are blocked off and I suspect hoses re routed.
Help me please!

No, I did not mention EFI at any time. As I previously stated, this is a carbureted, emission controlled engine and does have an ECU. This is a California emission certified vehicle. The engine is original has has not been replaced. Since my original posting, we returned the carburetor and they either repaired the first one or sent another rebuilt one. The latest rblt. carb. runs the worst yet. I did a smoke test and smoke was pouring out of the secondary throttle shaft. Never seen such a vacuum leak in my life. The problem is a lean running condition and I ca see why. Contemplating changing it over to a later 1600 EFI engine or going to a VW diesel.
Hi dan , there is not a real ECU ., that is an electric carb, called MCS, + an o2 sensor , mcs box, and solenoid in the carb. good luck with that turkey, youd need mcgiver there. (or Merlin) consider a Harely CV carb. GM made this junk too. back in early 80s.
the good news, is the Dizzy works perfect, all by it self, all you need is a tuned carb. the CV carb is the most easy on earth.
if you read the FSM (sections) it dont tell you hot to diagnois the MCS. but the 02 sensor will fail with any air leaks , just like the true EFI. or bad bad baro sensor (thinks you are at high altitude when not. and go lean. there a solution._
no lie, id love to put my scope only your 02, and see if i can get that silly rube Goldberg carb to pull swings on that 02, that be like , relic heaven to me...
