Suzuki Jimny car keeps cutting out
Variant: 1298cc
Model Year: 2000
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hello there...
I would like some advice as to what`s happening to my car please.We have had it in the garage 3 times, a diagnostic test once and no one seems to know..?
The mobile diagnostic fella had a guess..
that it could ( could ) be a sensor..but couldn`t be sure as the fault never showed on the test.!...the garage fellas just hadn`t a clue.
It`s a suzuki jimny/1298cc/2000 make
The problem comes when we have been driving over half an hour and we pull up at lights,or have to idle the engine will judder and then cut out..then say 10 minutes later it will start and drive perfectly.
I has been serviced recently and had new cambelt and just had new radiator fitted ( this week )Would the sensor be the cause..?
There are 2 of these sensors that the diagnostic chap pulled out when the engine was running and they both made the engine cut out.We have priced them at about £60+vat for each. maybe for piece of mind we will buy 2.
Does anyone know of this problem and what the cure could be ( sensor )?
any advice before we opt for these 2 sensors would be most helpful.
thanks jim

Could be the TDC sensor. TDC is short for top dead centre...
