Sound like the alarm is active and need the remote to turn it off. Have seen other cars with this issue. If not is the timing belt installed correctly. What you don't say does the engine turn over or nothing. With the alarm active the engine won't even turn over

The warning light with the padlock on shows that your car immobilizer is active. Need a specialist to re program your immobilizer.

SOURCE: Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.0 litre

Same problem for me. The car would idle at about 2500 when started from cold and about 3 miles on would not idle at all, resulting in the revs dropping off when changing gear or stopping. Also rather jerky in top gear unless thrashed - numerous trips to the garage for air idle valve, injectors etc. but still a problem! Have just found out that GVs are a bit prone to carbon build up in the throttle body - mine was almost blocked - it now feels like a different car.

SOURCE: 2002 suzuki grand vitara brake warning goes on and off

Do you have a brake fluid accumulator(ABS)? If yes, the pistons/pulsing assembly are worn, and may need to be replaced.

If not, you may have a vacuum leak in the power booster (located on the firewall). Check all hose and clamps for a tight fit/cracks,etc. Vacuum leaks cause intermittent brake failure lights.

You may want to park the vehicle on a clean surface, pump the brakes a few times, and check for brake fluid leaks. If there is a leaking wheel cylinder (back brakes) , caliper (front brakes), or brake line, you will be able to see it.

Leaks cause pressure loss, and, thus, the brake warning light will illuminate.

My suzuki grand vitara automatic exit has refused to start. The nozzles are injecting the petrol but the coils are not igniting .the coils aren't faulty. What other item could be faulty.

Check the fuse for the coil. Look at this website for more information. Try new spark plugs. *Be Careful*. Only change One Spark Plug at a time.

My 2006 susuki grand Vitara turns over but won't start after replacing my starter I disconnected the battery positive and neg for a while does it have some kind of reset I've checked fuel pump works Sparks...

If you have spark,and you hear the fuel pump run,check for a fuel injector pulse at the injectors.You can also give it a shot of quick start into the intake to see if it will start on that.If it does then you do have a fuel delivery problem.

1999 Corsa B 1.6i my timing jumped and since then

Since you have replaced most of the engine parts I would check you are getting a spark at plugs first and then fuel from pump! I think these are the most probable reasons for not starting!

2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara won't start engine

what engine, state engine size and country.
there can only be 3 ways, to fail.
bad engine (low compresssion, us the $20 tool at WOT and see over 170psi.
Bad spark
bad fueling.
just because spark coils (COPS?) work on other car , dont mean much.
what counts is your car , its a system.
the cops, have fast 5mS pulse when firing, you using a scope to see that?
Im so curious, why not to the time old test, use a real spark plug
attached to the COP end, spark plug shell grounded to engine metal
and crank, is spark good x4? or x6 if V6 (engine NOT STATED)
is it? then spark is good, leaving fueling.
do not touch the spark plug cranking, it can hit 100,000 volts.
I use a ground strap on the spark plug casing, hands free, or you can be hurt bad, by the spark or when you jump and cut arm backing off
on cars that flood, is it flooding?
I found my engine compression good, then found all 4 sparks fire good.
so i pull the fuel pump relay. killing fueling.
i then use "test fuel" to start engine (again, text book tests)
I use the new CRC brand of test fuel with top end oiling.
i spray it in the plenum, and it starts.
if the spark plugs are bad, (part oftune it up)
it may not start if flooded,
use WOT at the throttle (cuts fuel) and start any flooded engine.
if the spark tips are black and stink of raw fuel (wet with fuel)
that means flooding.
pull the fuel pump relay ,test fuel runs for 3 seconds. each time.
3 second spray max. each time.
if that works out, then find reason for flooding if flooding.
if not flooding, you find dry sparks.
then trouble shoot no fuel.
fuel pressure not near 30 PS?
fuel pressure too high say, 60, it will flood for ever.
there are only 3 tests.
and 4 counting wet /dry sparks.
the tests done, will put you on the correct path every time.
no guessing, no swapping parts to other cars.

Jeep just quit thinkin timing belt right brfore stop ran rugh

The Grand Cherokee does not have timing belt, they are chain driven. You may have a faulty coil, I would start by checking to make sure you have proper spark and fuel pressure. It could also be the fuel delivery, poss. a bad fuel pump, or fuel pump relay. You can easily check this by spraying some b-12 into the throttle body while someone cranks it over, if it starts then you have a fuel problem.
