2004 Suzuki Forenza Questions & Answers
Tar leak under dash board
Tar like substances are used lots of places on cars, such as around AC hose ports in the firewall, to seal the windshield, sound proofing, rust proofing, etc.
What you need to discover is why is now moving?
I would assume it is because perhaps something is hotter?
Is the exhaust manifold or catalytic converter hotter than usual or has heat shielding the the engine compartment come loose?
2004 Suzuki Forenza. The air from the vents doesn't blow into the car?
Possibly a vacuum leak, check your vacuum hoses in the engine compartment as well as under the dash if you don't find a leak. A power brake booster leaking can also cause this problem. I use Carb cleaner to spray near the hoses and any check-valves a little bit at a time since it is flammable. If you spray near a leak when the engine is idling you should notice a difference and can zero in on the leak. Repair it and your problem with the air coming out the vents should be solved. There is also mechanical issues and switch issues but the vacuum leak is usually a problem with older models.
Where is the fuel filter located
It is my understanding that there isn't a fuel filter per se for Suzuki's. They are an integral part of the fuel pump located in the tank, and are not designed to be replaced. Several manufacturers are doing this, including Toyota.
Suzuki Forenza error code P0782
Well code 782 is for a problem with the 2-3 shift solenoid or the circuit back to the engine computer. The solenoid is inside the transmission.
Code 722 was for a problem with the speed sensor. You could have a wiring harness problem.
Hood release cable disconnected.Is there
The cable terminates at the latch release located at the front center of the hood. If you can get to this, usually by removing the grill, find the lever the cable terminates in and move it manually with whatever tool you can get in there.
How can I remove my ignition key from my 2005 Suzuki Forenza?
2014 showing as 2016, unanswered,
the cure, answer it and its gone
Page 2-12 in your operators guide states;
"LOCK:
This position locks your steering wheel,
ignition, automatic transmission shift lever
and automatic transmission. This is the
only position from which you can remove
the key. For easier key operation when
unlocking the steering wheel, move the
steering wheel back and forth while turning
the key to the ACC position."
this means if car has wheels (tires) againsta curb or large rock
that means, wiggle the steering wheel and turn the key to lock
then it can do that.
in some cases it can be near impossible
like in San Fransisco, on a very very very steep hill.
the manual tells you set the hand brake first.
or you many not get the transmission out of park or steering lock failure. do to these forces at bay.
next time tell poster where your tires are.
we cant guess, that. and MATTERS.
White Smoke From Tail Pipe/Exhaust
It often means that you are burning antifreeze. You asked if it needs antifreeze, have you noticed any leaking out of the reservoir tank while you are running it? Sometimes when the head gasket goes it will produce a passage for the antifreeze to pass from the capillaries into the combustion chamber. It is easy to check if you have an air compressor. Remove one of the rear sparkplugs and the radiator cap. Fill the radiator and then push some air into the sparkplug hole (get a good seal in case a valve is open). Repeat with all the cylinders and watch for air bubbles coming up into the radiator. If bubbles come up or fluid is pumped out, the head gasket is blown and must be replaced. It is more likely to happen at the back of the engine because it is farthest away from the fan and therefore gets less cooling.
Also check your oil for discoloration. If it is a brownish color it could mean your oil and antifreeze are mixing and has the potential to damage your bearings
