Help my suzuki swift gt is hard to start in cold weather.wmv

[eXtremist87]

that looks like an idle air control valve problem.

I also had my swift done to the 9's, header,exhaust, Cold air intake, superchip, poly bushings, Jamx springs and kyb, TSW blades Yokohama a520, brake pkg, sheeeesh.. I loved that car! I loved the look on people faces when I'd pass them on the hwy at 220kph! I really did LMAO!

I had a 1992 Swift gt. temps in the winters went as low as -40. The same this always happened to me if the car stalled on a very cold morning. Best solution is to get a block heater and plug it in. BUT if you can't do that, when you first turn the key, the fuel pump jets fuel into the cylinders. Wait 5 seconds before turning the key. Do not touch the gas petal. Or the brakes. Make sure your lights are off and radio as well, rear defrost too. If the car stalls using this method, restart the car

look that temperature

new battery with higher CCA (cold crank amps) get the max you can get its an extra 10 bucks or so, i work as a parts guy.

[dilzar3]

The MK1 G13b which is the carburatd version is easier to start in cold weather.

[devrmt0]

I had the same problem with mine. It's a problem with the cold start programming. If you can still fine one get a SuperChips chip. You get more power and it completely gets rid of this stupid cold start behavior.

[ThaiNotSlaves]

I had this problem before. It was the ignition coil.

[Thevolvoboys]

your engine is a little bit too hot

[djsubdriver]

this is certainely a MAF probleme did you hit the MAF when you installed your p-flow...

After you suck up the seafoam thru the vac line, and then start it after 10 minutes; a word of warning-itl smoke like a cheap hooker for like 15 minutes. Repeat it a couple of times just to b sure.

[sirspinalotgti]

IRONIVIAN<seafoam that bitch and call it a day! jus did it to my 92 gt that had been sittin for 2 years. After i initailly got it runnin;after crankin, die, crankin,sputtrin,For 5 minutes, It would level out and drive fine. Park it, and then try to start it tha next day, and the process would repeat again. for like a week. I swapt cts, injectors, distibutor, with my turbo car to no avail. Bought Seafoam, sucked bout a cup up thru vaccum line, let sit 10 minutes, then started it. starts a1 daily

[mentalbarrier]

mine has the same prob starting gies crazy..but it doesnt go off ... its fuckd

[lRONIVIAN]

I replaced the thermo valve & that fixed the idle problem. Now the RPM's don't go up and down like crazy anymore; however, it still shuts off on me during very cold winter mornings ! but after that it's fine the rest of the day.

[harrisspring]

it's a problem with the electronic control module

like phase problem go to a suzuki dealer and they'll fix it it take half an hour

[devrmt0]

The problem isn't something at all with your car. It's in the programming of the computer. I had exactly the same thing in mine. Back at the time I bought a Superchips chip for the car which, besides doing all the performance things it claimed *also* fixed the cold start problem. Get one if you can find one. Well worth it. The way the car suddenly has an increase in power at 4000 rpm will be also gone. More torque down low, power up high .

I wish I still had my my Swift

[jcr557]

hey bro, send me a pic of the front end to see how it looks

[DemoFly]

Fast idle thermo valve.

[nandoyesi]

im pretty its a cold start idle valve...i had the damn thing on my car

[fellafoofoo]

check for intake air leaks

[nikolicns]

and i have this problem with my ssgti,i think-maybe is venture meter. sorry my english is bad :( pozzzzz..... dzunior Serbia

[dextorau]

could be the cold start valve...

[komododragon2007]

seafoam that car, then do oil and sparkplugs

[Frankgos15]

Its the cold start valve, full of shit and dirty can be blocked of or cleaned out and the irratic idle will stop. its located on top of the inlet manifold. pull it off and have a look mate.

[CinistoGer]

My Astra G had the same,

the

damper flap

throttle body

throttle valve

had to be cleaned.

A gti was my first car.

Greetings

[owmyanus]

This may even be an idle position sensor failing.

My brother's '98 Ford F-150 had trouble starting cold, he would keep his foot on the throttle until the engine heated up a bit otherwise it would stall.

Hope you got your car fixed.

[Thevolvoboys]

your engine is very hot by 1.20 - 1.30

[SebaGTi]

Calibrate TPS sensor!!

[Gabhair1234]

ur engine is fuck mate.. clean the carbs if theres any lol.. try the tps sensor probley need to replace it

[swiftgtipt]

tps sensor!

[LuxeXx]

It also could be air flow through the engine and exhaust. Don't rev it hard when it's really cold. Personally, I wouldn't worry about it if it's fine the rest of the day.

[FordsSuck95]

My old Jeep did the same thing, New plugs and wires. If not that I would check the fuel filter and the pump. The fuel could be freezing due to water in the line. All of this happened to my Jeep, and I replacedit all and then it ran fine.

[lRONIVIAN]

That's what I was thinking, that maybe I need some new spark plugs and wires. I will start with that and see if it helps. Thanks for the feed back!

[FordsSuck95]

Yep,anytime

[defrancotv]

@lRONIVIAN so did you fix it?
