First make sure your gas cap it tight. 3 clicks. On a 9 year old car I would replace the gas cap if the light does not go out after your tighten the cap, clear the codes, and drive it for a couple of days. It can also be a leak at one of the fuel vapor hoses or a leak in the EVAP system.

Not able to locate plug to put scanner on for any trouble codes.

Should be near the steering column on the bottom of the dash.

Car konks out and check engine light come on.

The check engine light is because all check engine light codes are caused by components that affect emissions. It's not actually an engine problem, it's a problem with either your O2 sensor, MAF sensor, fuel/air ratio, pyrometer, or exhaust.

The check engine light came on for my 2002 suzuki vitara. The diagnostic code showed PO420 CAT below efficiency. The vehicle is 82,000 miles. How much does it cost for parts and labor? Thanks

420 is O2 sensor, this can happen from putting the wrong replacement sparkplugs in or just age of vehicle this just happened to my suzuki vitara so i replaced the plugs ($18) and the code hasnt come up again yet. if it does come up again ill do the sensor ($180). prices indicated are do it yourself prices

My wife's 2002 Suzuki Grand Vitara is starting to have problems shifting. Every time you depress the clutch pedal and try to put the vehicle in first gear from a stop position, the stick doesn't want to go...

Do the following:
-Check the clutch fluid,
-With the engine off make the trip from 1 to 5 gear,as if you were on the road
if it is okay
Let's go to the second step, With the engine running, do the same but keeping the pedal depressed , Does not engage any gear ?
-If the clutch fluid is OK , then The bearing of the output shaft is damaged or clutch release bearing

Engine management light on ,suzuki grand vitara 2 litre turbo diesel,engine feels slugish

Take the car to an autoparts store and have them scan the computer for any fault codes stored. The check engine light is to alert you that the computer has noted a fault in one of the car's systems. Getting the codes will show what the computer has noted and curb the need for speculation. Most parts stores will perform the scan for free. Hope this helped and best wishes.

2002 Grand Vitara engine light

Try these easy things...take off clean and reconnect the battery cables, take to Auto Zone for a FREE computer hook up. More than likely if the battery hook up doesn't work it's the oxygen sensor.
