Suzuki: 1998 suzuki esteem, suzuki esteem, cold start
QuestionYou had told me to do this. " reset the throttle body sensors and switches" How do I reset the TPS TBS sensor and switches? Is the TPS and TBS the same thing?
I replaces the TPS with a known working TPS from another esteem that was working fine. My idle goes up then down, up then down, up and then down. It seems it does this 5 -7 min after it starts from a cold start then then the car warms up the idle goes crazy. When the car starts from a cold start. it stays at idle of 1.5 until the 5-7 min. Normal idle is about 1.0. I did notice the car is hard to start and some time sounds like is back firing or flooding. makes firing sound, not loud but every time I try to start it from a cold position. Im not sure what you mean to reset the sensor or switch. I did replace it with no luck. Thanks again. you have been very helpful
AnswerIn order to make the settings on the tps, you need to have access to a factory service manual. I wouldn't consider attempting repairs on my own vehicle without the factory manual. Yes, they're $100-$300, but they're absolutely accurate. I have manuals for my Samurai, but it's not the same engine as your vehicle. Sorry
