Swifts have like 10 engines uses world wide, your's is ? at lest 4 , 1.3L engines world wide.

engine stalls or just car.???? 2 different answers... a car can stall and engine still runs.
this is called SLIP slip is a whole other topic.

ill guess,engine.
are you in San Francisco?
Filbert between Leavenworth and Hyde (31.5% grade)????
ever drive a stick shift before? (sorry but im blind here)
I presume you are parked. and
start engine, clutch held down.
then say go to Reverse
then raise throttle to say 1500 rpm
then slip the clutch as all stick drivers must!

then the driver sees RPM fall fast ,too fast, so raise throttle more and tires not against a curb or ROCK
the engine stalls! despite drivers best efforts !
this is called gross loss of engine power. (or brakes dragging)

gross power loss is
almost always, IS MISFIRe, DTC codes P030x
Misfire has 50 + causes. a hard cold fact.
top causes, are, (not guessing)
are
no real tuneup done in the last decade.cam belt slip, Im guessing your UNSTATED ENGINE)low fuel pressure.flooding,weak spark or dead spark on 1 cylinder.low engine compression, see #2EGR main valve stuck openCat melted.and more, we do 1 to 10 tests after doing #1 first. and find then all ,true cause ever time.
if it was easy,, service shops would go byebye.

    JUST CARby ON THE BARBY
    ok, now we do carb (yah im older than dirt)
    done vast carbs.
    low engine power, I slip clutch engine stalls
    1: low fuel pressure causes float levels low.
    2: float levels wrong, its a messurement and calibration step on all carbs.
    3: jets clogged, (clean them)
    4: engine flooding dUE to choke stuck on,
    OR float valve stuck open.
    5; the key is,is the carb lean or way too rich. see? knowing that, we find causes.
    6: carb air emulsion jets or paths blocked.
    this makes fuel jets,go NUTS.
    7;jets unscrewed in carb, floating about there,dah factor 1.
    8: fuel filter (all 2 or 3 ) packed up.
    1 in tank? usually not....there
    1 in line filter, (gee tuneups skipped)
    1 on carb input port.(look)
    9:idle jets, clogged. or transfer jets same.
    there are up to 4 fuel jets.
    confused? find an old gray haired carb man.
    lots more, and if had carb exploded view drawing, 10x more

    carb not serviced in 20 years
    hopeless.that.

    we killed carbs dead here, in uSA in 1989
    suzuki (EPA laws)

    so you are not here are you.

    the car with a zillion names
    there are 4, 1.3l engines
    1 is diesel so not that
    G13 (many)
    G13a or G13b and G13BA
    my guess,is the BA 8v,with carb

    is the carb Aisin, 2barrel ,stock?
    see herehttp://s145.photobucket.com/user/pacapo/...

    discount, my DTC P030x words
    it's only for USA swifts. (we are uSA forum)
    be nice to know your country????
    about 90% of all non usa posts
    here and answers dead wrong, are for just that fact.
    they yanks, here most never seen a carb
    much less know how they work ,.'
    gone here in 1988 or so.

    your car has no TB
    no EFI
    no ECU
    and no injectors, so ignored posts with that.

    I hate to guess.
    but drove for zillion miles with carbs
    cars ,boats,motorcycles and aircraft (dads)
    so here is my GUESSYAH post

    jets clogged.

    gummed up,,varnished up or
    bad gas.(petrol)that caused this,.
    #1 on he all time hit parade...

    dis?carb?

  • Anonymous Feb 17, 2017

    one guy said car did this(stalls)
    and failed to say only 3 cylinders were firing
    oops
    see why asking the blind is so silly>?

  • Anonymous Feb 18, 2017

    stalling does have 50 + cause
    but in pure physics
    1: brake dragging.
    2: engine is too weak.
    3: hill is too steep, 100% grade is too much.
    4: tires against a curb,a large rock or?
    5: its not clutch slip.if rpm drops
    6: seized transmission.(trans-axle,all)
    7:seized wheel bearings, would case radial turn, FWD car.

    my wild guess, #2
    we have tests for them all, sure do,ask.

2009 Suzuki swift keeps cutting out have just had new clutch fitted

what does cut out mean.
engine, dies, stalls or gross misfiring

I have a 1996 suzuki swift,why does engine stall out when I put into gear,like torque converter is locking up.I changed converter?

low engine power.. which engine, there are 7 .
ever put in a new timing belt , 60,000 mles service it is.
if not it slips and power goes byebye.

if you use your right foot to stop the stall does it, and if you do that
do you get full power>?
if yes, yes, then the ISC is stuck closed or EGR stuck open.

the ECU raises the ISC valve to keep a/t from stalling,
it open the valve at the moment of the shift to any gear.
P/n to any gears. if it cant open it will stall.
that is how the idle controls work.

High pitched squeal when jeep idles or during deceleration. soonafter, clutch pedal jumped violently under my foot followed by engine stalling out. could not depress clutch pedal after that.

It sounds like your clutch bearing has gone they are usually on a pendulum system it screeches before it starts to go. Best get it checked.

95 ford escort starts then stalls

if you have a carby check the the idle solenoid is connedted and working, If you have an efi system check the engine speed sensor. Check for loose carby, manifold. broken vacuum lines for leaks . If you have your foot on the brake when starting take it off and see if it runs. If it does then the fault will be in the brake booster

97 nissan 4cyl pickup w/145,000mi. stalls with air cond on, runs fine w/off, replaced feul filter( didnt fix it)

try a tps throttle posistion sensor the engine is not idling fast enough with the ac on thats why it stalls if you have a manual adjustment on the throttle body speed the engine up 150-200 more rpm this should solve the problem.

I have a 94TR magna 4cyl 5 speed manual clutch pedal problem

prob has little to no clutch fluid, to check this open the bonnet, in the engine bay next to the brake master cylinder there is a round clutch master cylinder, unscrew the cap and topp it up with brake fluid.
If the system has run dry you may need to bleed the system, if not completly empty should be able to pump it a few times and will come good.
If this is the case there is a leak somewhere...
