COMPRESSION CHECK
Check compression pressure on all four cylinders as follows:
1) Warm up engine.
2) Stop engine after warming up.
NOTE:
After warming up engine, place transmission gear shift le-
ver in “Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A / T
model), and set parking brake and block drive wheels.
3) Remove ignition coil assemblies (1) and all spark plugs (2) refer-
ring to Section 6F.
WARNING:
Failure in disconnecting couplers from ignition coil as-
semblies can cause spark to occur in engine room possi-
bly resulting in a dangerous explosion.
4) Disconnect fuel injector wire harness at couplers (2).
5) Install special tools (Compression gauge) into spark plug hole.
Special Tool
(A): 09915-64510-001
(B): 09915-64510-002
(C): 09915-64530
(D): 09915-67010
6) Disengage clutch (to lighten starting load on engine) for M / T
model, and depress accelerator pedal all the way to make
throttle valve full-open.
7) Crank engine with fully charged battery, and read the highest
pressure on compression gauge.
Compression pressure
Standard1400 kPa
(14.0 kg / cm
2, 199.0 psi)
Limit1100 kPa
(11.0 kg / cm
2, 156.4 psi)
Max. difference between any
two cylinders100 kPa
(1.0 kg / cm
2, 14.2 psi)
8) Carry out steps 5) through 7) on each cylinder to obtain four
readings.
9) After checking, connect couplers to fuel injectors securely and
install spark plugs and ignition coil assemblies.

ENGINE VACUUM CHECK
The engine vacuum that develops in the intake line is a good indica-
tor of the condition of the engine. The vacuum checking procedure
is as follows:
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
NOTE:
After warming up engine, place transmission gear shift le-
ver in “Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A / T
model), and set parking brake and block drive wheels.
2) With engine stopped, disconnect EVAP canister purge valve
hose from intake manifold and connect 3-way joint, hoses and
special tools (vacuum gauge and joint) between intake manifold
and vacuum hose disconnected.
Special Tool
(A): 09915-67311
(B): 09918-08210
SUZUKI GENUINE PARTS
(C): Hose 09343-03087
(D): 3-way joint 09367-04002
3) Run engine at specified idle speed, and read vacuum gauge.
Vacuum should be within the following specification.
Vacuum specification (at sea level):
52.6 – 65.8 kPa (40 – 50 cmHg, 15.7 – 19.7 in.Hg) at specified
idling speed
4) After checking, connect vacuum hose to intake surge tank.

OIL PRESSURE CHECK
NOTE:
Prior to checking oil pressure, check the following items.
Oil level in oil pan.
If oil level is low, add oil up to Full level mark on oil level
gauge.
Oil quality.
If oil is discolored, or deteriorated, change it.
For particular oil to be used, refer to the table in Section 0B.
Oil leaks.
If leak is found, repair it.
1) Remove oil pressure switch (1) from cylinder block.
2) Install special tool (Oil pressure gauge) to vacated threaded
hole.
Special Tool
(A): 09915-77311
3) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
NOTE:
Be sure to place transmission gear shift lever in “Neutral”
(shift selector lever to “P” range for A / T model), and set
parking brake and block drive wheels.
4) After warming up, raise engine speed to 4,000 r / min and mea-
sure oil pressure.
Oil pressure specification:
360 – 440 kPa (3.6 – 4.4 kg / cm
2, 51.2 – 62.6 psi) at 4,000 r / min
(rpm)
5) Stop engine and remove oil pressure gauge.
