Re: Vitara X-EC 2.5 V6;158 bhp fuel issue

Got the Moly sensor cleaner and nephew used that on the old one. Also used the Wynns egr spray in the air intake. Ran well until choke stopped. Then took the egr off, which was covered in soot. Cleaned that up and ran well but not quite right still. Might get diagnostic guy out again to clean all th...

Re: Vitara X-EC 2.5 V6;158 bhp fuel issue

Thanks my nephew is going to put the old one back in. It doesn’t look particularly corroded or broken. I tried some Suzuki breakers but no one has that particular engine. I will try some more tho. Such a shame as although 20 years old inside is immaculate.

Hi the original was the Hitachi. Can’t find the Hitachi one now. I guess they no longer make them. The new one came from eBay as thought it was worth a punt.

The original was an Hitachi 4512 but also has the code AFH55M‑13 above it. That’s what I ordered (not with any real hope)

Vitara X-EC 2.5 V6;158 bhp fuel issue

I have 2004 (05 reg) X-EC. The emissions light came on and diagnosed as fuel running too lean. Local garage (out of their depth) put 6 new sparks plugs in at great expense. Got a diagnostic guy out who identified the faulty sensor at the top of the engine. Spoke to Suzuki main dealer who advised the...
