1987 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA check engine

3) Reinstall carburetor following normal service
procedures.
Connect emission control system hoses and
lead wires. Make specified play on accelerator
cable and refill cooling system.
4) Place transaxle gear shift lever in “Neutral”,
set parking brake and block drive wheels.
5) Start engine, and warm it up to normal
operating temperature, stop engine.
6) Be sure to check the following before idle
mixture adjustment.
l Fuel level is within round mark at the
center of level gauge.
l Valve lash is checked and adjusted accord-
ing to the maintenance schedule.
l Air cleaner has been properly installed
and is in good condition.
l All accessories (wipers, heater, lights etc)
are out of service.
l Ignition timing is within specification.
l Choke valve opens fully.
l Idle-up actuator does not operate.
7) Check and adjust idle speed to specification
if necessary.
8) Remove seal rubber of duty check coupler
and connect positive terminal of duty
meter to“Blue/Red” wire and negative
terminal to “Black/Green” wire.
9) Run engine at 1,500 - 2,000 r/min for 30
seconds and bring it to idle speed.
10) With engine running at idle speed, adjust idle
mixture adjusting screw slowly in small incre-
ment allowing time for duty to stabilize after
turning screw to obtain duty of 10 - 50.
If duty is too low, back screw out; if too
high, screw it in. After obtaining duty of
10 - 50, recheck idle speed, and adjust if
necessary.
NOTE:
If adjustment can’t be made because duty meter
indicator does not deflect, check feed back
system according to the checking procedure of
system described in section of Emission Control
System.
11) After adjustment, install seal rubber to duty
check coupler and drive in idle mixture
adjusting screw pin.

4-2. AIR CLEANER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
In the air cleaner case, a dry-type air cleaner element is provided for filtering.out dirt and dust from air
being drawn into the engine for combustion.
A damaged element must be replaced with a new one, since it allows dust particles to enter the engine if
used as it is. Such dust particles could cause wear to the engine inner parts and this further results in
decreased output.
Also, the element must be cleaned periodically. Dusty and dirty element causes decrease in output and
increase in fuel consumption. The dusty element even after cleaning should be replaced with a new one.

[Fuel tank purging procedure]
WARNING:
This purging procedure will NOT remove
all fuel vapor. Do not attempt any repair
on tank where heat or flame is required, as
an explosion resulting in personal injury
cou Id occur.J
The following procedure is used for purging the
fuel tank.
1) After removing fuel tank, remove all hoses,
fuel level gauge from fuel tank.
2) Drain all remaining fuel from tank.
3) Move tank to flushing area.
4) Fill tank with warm water or tap water, and
agitate vigorously and drain. Repeat this
washing until inside of tank is clean.
Replace tank if inside is rusty.
5) Completely flush out remaining water after
washing.

Visually inspect fuel lines and connections for
evidence of fuel leakage, hose cracking, and
damage. Make sure all clamps are secure.
Repair leaky joints, if any.
Replace hoses that are suspected of being crack-
ed.

emission specifications and setting procedures, as well as a vacuum hose schematic with emission compo-
nents identified.

THERMOSTATICALLY CONTROLLED AIR CLEANER (TCAC) SYSTEM
This system helps to improve fuel vaporization by controlling the temperature of the intake air almost at
a constant level automatically regardless of driving conditions and outside temperature, to distribute the
mixture to each cylinder evenly and to stabilize the air/fuel mixture ratio.
It consists of the therm0 sensor (therm0 valve) and the Air Control Actuator (ACA). The therm0 sensor
located in the air cleaner case senses the temperature of the intake air and controls the vacuum line by
opening and closing its passage to the ACA. According to this opening and closing operation, the vacuum
in the intake manifold actuates the damper through the diaphragm in the ACA. For the warm air, the air
is warmed up in the exhaust manifold cover and for the cold air, the outside air is drawn through the
fresh air passage and both enter the air cleaner.

System Operation
When engine is started in cold weather, the therm0 valve is closed because the temperature of the intake
air in the air cleaner is low. Therefore, the vacuum is transmitted to the ACA diaphragm, which then
pulls up the damper linked to the diaphragm to open the warm air duct fully. As the engine is warmed up,
the temperature of the intake air coming into the air cleaner from the warm air duct rises and the therm0
valve starts opening. As a result, the vacuum transmitted to the ACA diaphragm decreases, and the damper
pushed down by the spring force lessens the warm air duct opening. In this state, warm air and cold air
are mixed together and enters the air cleaner.
When the engine is operating at high rpm and under high load condition, the temperature of the air
coming from the warm air duct rises very high, causing the therm0 valve opening to become even larger
and the damper opening smaller. That is, the amount of the warm air coming from the warm air hose
decreases and the cold air amount increases.
In this way, this system serves to maintain the temperature of the intake air going into the carburetor
almost at a constant level.
