Suzuki; Samurai, Sidekick, Swift ENGINE MECHANICAL Before performing any on-vehicle adjustments to fuel or ignition system, ensure engine mechanical condition is okay. VALVE CLEARANCE NOTE: Swift DOHC uses hydraulic lifters. No adjustments are required. Samurai & Sidekick 1) Remove valve cover. Rotate engine until zero degree (TDC) timing mark of timing belt cover is in line with timing mark on crankshaft pulley. See Fig. 1. 2) Ensure cylinder No. 1 is at TDC on compression stroke. Remove distributor cap. On Samurai and Sidekick (TBI), ensure rotor is pointed upward at distributor hold-down bolt and to No. 1 terminal of distributor cap. On Sidekick (MPI), ensure rotor is at about 1 o’clock position and pointed to No. 1 terminal of distributor cap. If rotor is not as described, rotate crankshaft 360 degrees

Tests/Procedures: 1. Check the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) powers and grounds. Powers are at pins #102, 103, 107 and 110. Grounds are pins 101 and 106. 2. Check the ECU control of the Multi-port Injection (MPI) relay. At start-up, the ECU grounds pins 56 and 63 3. If good, replace the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

Fault
It was reported on the helpline that a caller had fitted a second hand engine from Rover 25 1.4 MPI vehicle to a 1998 214 1.4 MPI vehicle. Upon completion of work, all wiring to the engine management system was checked and vehicle would crank over but would not start. Caller even tried fitting the original Crankshaft position sensor (CPS) from the Rover 25 vehicle but without success.
Cause
Upon inspecting the difference between the two engines, it was noted that the original Rover 214 engine was fitted with a MEMS 1.9 engine management system, and the engine from the Rover 25 was fitted with the MEMS 3 engine management system. On initial inspection the 1.4 MPI engines seemed identical, but on closer inspection the flywheels with the reluctor disk were seen to be different. It was noted that the gaps in the reference teeth were different between the two engine management systems, and this difference stopped the
engine from starting.
