7) Install air cleaner assembly with air suction hose
referring to "Air Cleaner Assembly Removal and
Installation".
8) Run engine at specified idle speed and read vacuum
gauge. Vacuum should be within specification.
Vacuum specification (at sea level)
59 – 73 kPa (45 – 55 cmHg, 17.7 – 21.6 in.Hg) at
specified idle speed
9) After checking, disconnect special tool (Vacuum
gauge) from PCV valve.
10) Detach blind cap from PCV valve.
11) Install air cleaner assembly with air suction hose
referring to "Air Cleaner Assembly Removal and
Installation".
Valve Lash (Clearance) Inspection
1) Remove negative cable at battery.
2) Remove cylinder head cover referring to "Cylinder
Head Cover Removal and Installation".
3) Remove right side engine under cover, if necessary.
4) Using 17 mm wrench, turn crankshaft pulley (1)
clockwise until cam lobes (2) become perpendicular
to shim faces (3) at valves "1" and "7" as shown in
figure.
5) Check valve lashes with thickness gauge (4)
according to the following procedure.
a) Check valve lashes at valves "1" and "7".
b) Turn camshafts by 90° (by turning crankshaft
with wrench).
c) Make sure that cam lobes are perpendicular to
shim faces at valves to be checked (in this case,
"3" and "8"), if not, adjust it by turning crankshaft.
Check valve lashes.
d) In the same manner as b) – c), check valve
lashes at valves "4" and "6".
e) In the same manner as b) – c) again, check
valve lashes at valves "2" and "5".
If valve lash is out of specification, record valve lash and
adjust it to specification by replacing shim.
Valve clearance specification
When cold (Coolant temperature is 15 – 25 °C (59 –
77 °F)):
• Intake: 0.18 – 0.22 mm (0.007 – 0.009 in.)
• Exhaust: 0.28 – 0.32 mm (0.011 – 0.013 in.)
When hot (Coolant temperature is 60 – 68 °C (140 –
154 °F)):
• Intake: 0.21 – 0.27 mm (0.008 – 0.011 in.)
• Exhaust: 0.30 – 0.36 mm (0.012 – 0.014 in.)

Replacement of Shim
1) Close the valve whose shim (2) is to be replaced by
turning crankshaft, then turn tappet (3) till its cut
section (1) faces inside as shown in figure.

Questions and answers
Adjust throttle motor
The idle speed on a Suzuki SX4 should be controlled by the Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) rather than adjusting the idle screw on the throttle body, as the screw is factory set. Before using compressed air in the idle-air-bypass passages, the IACV should be removed to prevent damage to its delicate mechanism. If there is an issue with idle speed, checking the IACV function and referring to the SX4 service manual is recommended.

I have an issue of crank but not starting When I scan it brought this codeU0100 Which means no communication thou crank sensor wire was cut off but it was fix back What could be wrong and what could be the solution,
My heater stopped working the blower **** is good, control unit ?
Possible issues with the heater in a Suzuki SX4 if the blower is working but the heater is not include:
1. Incorrect Temperature Output
- Temperature control cable broken or bent (non-A/C and manual A/C) → Check the temperature control cable.
- Temperature selector faulty (non-A/C and manual A/C) → Check the temperature selector.
- Incorrect installation of the temperature control cable (non-A/C and manual A/C) → Check and adjust the position as necessary.
- Temperature control door assembly broken → Repair the temperature control door assembly.
- Air ducts clogged → Repair air ducts.
- Heater core leaked or clogged → Replace the heater core.
- Heater hoses leaked or clogged → Replace heater hoses.
- Thermostat faulty → Check the thermostat.
- Temperature control actuator faulty (auto A/C) → Check the temperature control actuator.
- HVAC control module faulty (auto A/C) → Check the HVAC control module.
- Wiring or grounding faulty (auto A/C) → Repair as necessary.
2. Other Possible Causes
- Air flow control cable broken or bent → Check the air flow control cable.
Checking and addressing these components should help identify and resolve the heater issue.

دلایل بالا رفتن مصرف بنزین در مدل اتومات
increasing revs when changing gears
The Suzuki SX4 may have increasing revs when changing gears due to its drive-by-wire system and the difference in final drive ratios between the manual (4.41) and automatic (2.81) transmissions. This difference causes high cruising RPMs in the manual version and sluggishness in the automatic. Additionally, if the revs climb while going uphill, it may be due to the transmission downshifting or kicking out of overdrive. Other possible causes include low transmission fluid, abuse, or a faulty transmission design.
