Eric... There are quite a few Suzuki guys down here in So. Cal that do some activities... I haven't gone out with them, but a lot of day trips for sure... I'm not much of a Facebook guy, but the do a lot of posting there... I wonder if any of them are members here???

Putting together some events/activities for Summer into the Fall. Right now, looking at a week-long adventure to the Jarbidge area again (this place is great!) late August. Of course, we'll do the FALL CLASSIC the week before Thanksgiving. Looking for ideas for July and September. Thinking about the Washington BDR or maybe the Shoestring / Manashtash ridge trails in Washington (July) ... What interests folks? We're open to putting together something for Suzuki enthusiasts just about anywhere.

I'd say normal, and at least on my car, it's not that there is no power low down, it's just that it's quite noticeable when it comes onto the cam at 4000

My 02 tracker 2L is somewhat like my old 2 stroke, needs to hit around 4000 rpm before it really takes off. Is that normal or is there someway to get the power hit at a lower rpm??

As far as I know Jeff was also selling his spacers through Low Range Off Road, you could try them.

Just a quick question.  I have bought several of Jeff Hoepkers lift kits off of ebay in the past and am looking for another.  I cant seem to find his listing on ebay anymore.  Does anyone know if he is still making them?  Or have a contact for him. Tried searching and tried messaging through ebay but no result yet.  Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Suzuki Samurai (All SJ Platform) 1981-1998 / What makes the VSV actuate?

« Last post by DesertDog on April 20, 2024, 04:32:20 PM »

I have a 1987 Samurai and have recently had the engine rebuilt. I went to get it smogged and it failed at the upper speed test. Troubleshooting has found the VSV solenoid (Blue/Green wire one not the Blue/Yellow wire) never opens. I checked and the +12V is on the Black/White wire but the 0V never activates on the Blue/Green wire. I understands this comes from the Electronic Control Module (ECM) but before I invest the time and money finding a new one I was wondering what tells the ECM to turn it on that might not be happening?

Any help is appreciated!

What are ADL's?

The problem is most likely the combination switch, and after that wiring - maybe find a good auto-electrician
