Nice double post, back up one and read.
but now adds MANUAL.
so the reverse switch is bad, remove it ,2wire switch
and put in new.

its just a simple Thomas Edison switch, (no electronics) nothing magic. the FSM< covers this, (factory service manual) as does
alldata.com
if an OHM meter (resistance low range) shows infinity in reverse its bad, if reads 0 ohms its good, so if good, the wires to it were bad.
or both lamp out, (can happen, ignored)

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!"

SOURCE: Engine pinning when accelerating only on cold Suzuki Baleno

Carbon build up on pistons raises engine compression.This is normal.Go up one grade on gas and/or put some fuel additive.If this doesnt solve it,have timing belt/chain inspected may need replaced

SOURCE: Is valve adjustment a part of normal maitenance on Suzuki Esteem

When you hear some tapping, that's why you need -valve adjustments. At 137,000miles you probably need more than that to continue your trouble-free drives.

Most reverse switches are located on the side of the gear box, or a switch is engaged by the reverse gear linkage.

what gear cant go past 35?

there are automatic tranny , and manual tranny

we can not guess, what is under your right hand (LHD car)?

auto or stick

like how each of the gears work, not just Reverse.

the good, the bad and the ugly,

then we can get a full picture.



will not go past 35 what wont, surely not Reverse the be world record.

Reverse lights

the car comes with 2 transmission.
a/t and m't (auto or stick)
the a/t uses an expensive PRNDL switch (aka. neutral switch)
the m/t uses reverse switch.

both are located on the transmission.
the m/t has 2 wires)
the A./t about 6. (not 2)
with those 2 facts, you can find it, counting wires.

next time post trans type, so we dont have to guess.

I have a 2000 suzuki esteem and check engine light is on. the o/d light keeps flashing but no problem with the car shifting

You would need to have the computer scanned for trouble codes to proceed.
Most auto parts stores will scan for free in hopes of selling you parts you may or may not need. The codes are a guide to what you should test not replace.
The flashing O/D light could mean the computer has a problem with the transmission or the engine is not able to use overdrive.
