Engine Q&A 1994 Suzuki Sidekick

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Sidekick? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your Sidekick firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why does my Suzuki engine sound different? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Suzuki Sidekick. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage my Suzuki Sidekick engine? Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving the engine while still in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.
  • Can I add water to my Suzuki Sidekick radiator? An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Sidekick when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.
  • What could cause my Sidekick engine to suddenly stop? If your Sidekick car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
