How Bout a mechanic? This sidekick is being more of a nut kick. Buy a Book for it.Hayens,chiltons....ect. > How Bout a mechanic? This sidekick is being more of a nut kick. Hi. I have a 92 sidekick 4door 4x4 w\Automatic. I think my ecm brain may be bad. There is this guy on e-bay selling (Fix it yourself Kits) He mentioned you didn't even have to locate your old one. So I'm thinking what he sells must plug into somthing that makes the engine run again without touching the engines brain. Any one know of what this guy is trying to sell me???????? It is like $30.00 and a new brain is $300.00. > How Bout a mechanic? This sidekick is being more of a nut kick. I'd sooner try a breaker's for a second hand emc. These things they sell on Ebay are a few resistors and wires that do funny things with the existing emc to give more power. Which won't be any good for you if you don't have a proper one to begin with. Or buy a scrap Suzi (with the emc in it) for more spare parts and a Hayes manual. Have fun, Frank > Or buy a scrap Suzi (with the emc in it) for more spare parts and a Hayes > manual. The Haynes manuals for these series (sidekick/tracker/samurai) is sh.t & only gives you the dumb stuff you already know or can figure out with common sense. Pay the bux & get the factory manual if you're really going to work on it. Esp the electricals. I have a repair manual for this vehicle. It sux.. Is there any way to test my ecm before buying a new one? >> Or buy a scrap Suzi (with the emc in it) for more spare parts and a Hayes >> manual. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > common sense.

Yes, if the car is fitted with an on board diagnostic plug, the service manual could be useful to check some signals coming from this OBD plug, with a simple multimeter. (it gives pulses, which you can read as flips from the dial on the meter). Does the repair manual give this info? Frank >I have a repair manual for this vehicle.

I went to exit the interstate and when I tried to disengage the clutch to down shift, the clutch was already lying on the floor. What the heck happened, and what do I do about it? |
