1993 suzuki carry fires when its cold but wont start wont start until pedal is held to the floor..ie flooded no vacuum detected at the vacuum advance at the distributer cap.. nor at the choke where should i start looking? T I A
check all of your vacuum lines...if you hold a length of rubber hose to your ear while the truck is running and probe around the vacuum lines you can hear the leaky ones hissing...check the 1 way vacuum valves(look like little fuel filters) sometimes these are put back on the wrong way..put the tip in your mouth(no comments allowed) and try sucking and blowing through it(as before heads out of the gutter you heathens..) to find out in which direction they function
Sometimes if one of the larger vac lines (brake booster, etc...) comes loose or is broken it will cause this.
oh ya.....actually it seems to run ok once it warms up.....but its impossible to start when its cold without flooding it
kepow, your 93 suz. will have a elec. fuel pump by fuel tank. Try this , next time you start it cold turn the key on and off three times with no pedal, dont start it. Just let the elec. fuel pump supply the fuel. If that doesnt work let it pump up 3 times and give it one pump on fuel pedal. Once it starts let it sit and idle for just a little bit before giving it any pedal. Some trucks you just have to find the sweet spot in starting them.
Finding a vacuum leak kepow, Are you saying the same thing in your first post? "wont start until pedal is held to the floor..ie flooded" What confuses me (besides life itself) is: are you having to intentionally flood it to get it started? Because holding the pedal to the floor while cranking it over is what you do to crank an engine that is ALREADY flooded. You're basically allowing more air into the carb by holding the pedal to the floor. Maybe I'm just not understanding what you are describing. Actually a vacuum "leak" (which in fact is not a "leak" - it's a "sucking in point" of unmetered air) can be found fairly easy. Get a can of starting fluid or carb/choke cleaner and while the engine is idling, individually spray vacuum hoses/vacuum connections - any place there should be a vacuum. When you spray a vacuum "leak" the engine will either momentarily idle up or stumble depending on the size of the "leak" and the corresponding amount of fluid being sucked in. It works for me YMMV. Hope this helps........later, slim
No offense but some people use this website to learn how to fix there little truck not to be made a fool of because they don't see things the same way that we can so maby cool it with the technical terminology and give nice easy advice btw my mini cab also had the same problem of no vacuum the egr valve was plugged solid quite common hint hint I could have sat there huffing starting fluid till I saw the man in the moon still wouldn't have done me anything
i have similar problem... need to know how to connect rubber pipes to vacuum lines in in the carb.. thanks..
This is probably what you need, http://www.minitrucktalk.com/showthread.php?12911-Desperately-need-tuning-help!&p=78914#post78914 This will take you to picture, but whole thread there is good for vacuum lines on Suzuki
