1994 Suzuki Sidekick Logo
Anonymous Posted on Mar 03, 2010

Suzuki JLX 97. 4dr. before, i had a problem, when engine gets hot like the middle in temp ( normal operating temp ) the problem starts to occur. I cant shift in to any gear. what i do is I turn off my engine and let it cool for 15-30 mins. and it will work and shift in like no problem, as it starts to heat up, it also starts getting in gears difficult until it wont shift in any gear at all. - a mechanic told me to replace the pressure plate. '' so i did'' and i did not fix the problem. then I noticed a string of my cable clutch is popping out of the cable line ''plastic coating'' like 3 of them. -- is it possible that its just a cable clutch problem?

Air pockets in radiator

Air can be purged. While your engine is cool remove radiator and reservoir caps. Place funnel in radiator. Turn heat to the highest position and start vehicle. Add coolant to radiator as needed while vehicle warms up. You should see bubbles coming out of radiator. Fill reservoir to between cold and hot fill lines. Replace caps when bubbling stops but before coolant temperature reaches normal operating temperature. Never remove the radiator cap until engine has fully cooled down.

My 2002 oldsmobile intrigue was overheating so i bought a thermostat and waterpump and placed it in, now the needle will go way up to hot and then back down to middle again, and it will keep doing this,...

You have air in the cooling system. With the engine cold, remove the radiator cap (or overflow bottle cap if no radiator cap) and let the engine get to operating temp. Add coolant if it is low. There is no way to guess which of the 3000 codes your car has set without scanning it for codes.

Engine runs between normal and upper normal temp

Don't run the car without a thermostat. It helps the car to reach operating temps quickly. also helps burn off blow by gasses by keeping the temps up and steady. check your radiator level once driving a few miles. Their may have been some air pockets that purged and need to be replaced with additional fluid.

Please can you help why only after about a mile the engine is red hot but temp gauge is only showing middle. is this normal. YEAR 2001 WITH SERVICE HISTORY ONLY HAD SIX MONTH.

When you say "red hot" do you mean actually glowing? If so, you'd have serious trouble. If you mean only hot to the touch, that's normal - these engines run pretty warm. And yes, the gauge in the center is normal - the OEM temp gauge is a dummy gauge, only meant to show you that it's either cold, overheated, or mainly OK. Use your oil temp gauge as your main indicator - at least it's graded numerically and you can actually see the oil temp.
