Great walk through video! My company has 6 of these forenza’s and im the
lucky one to figure out the simple repairs. I was stumped on last night and
viewed this video this morning and repaired the range sensor in 10 minutes!
Thank you so much. Im sure ill be repairing more soon in the other company
cars.

Hi Sheryl. My guess is that the engines are the same. Just pop the hood and
take a look and see if the sensor is there as I show in the video.

Sheryl A says:

hi im having this exact problem i have a 2008 forenza is the sensor located
in the same place

stuzman52 says:

suzukipitstopplus is one resource.

Hi, where can we get the DW260-050 tool from?

stuzman52 says:

You’re welcomed. There isn’t a PCV valve on the Forenza. It is nothing more
than a calibrated orifice inside the valve cover. To check for vacuum
leaks, you could use propane while the car is running, carburetor spray (be
very careful, flammable) or the best is a smoke machine. Do search on
YouTube for finding vacuum leaks.

Estuardo Valdez says:

gracias, ya revise los sensores de O2, estan bien, tengo una duda la
valvula PCV, y como puedo revisar el vacuum leak

stuzman52 says:

Hi Estuardo. From your message, I put it in the translator to come up with
English. “I have a problem with my suzuki forenza 2006 is consuming too
much fuel and therefore I would like to help to repair salute from
Guatemala.” This could be a multitude of different areas to look at. Is
your check engine light on? If you have a scanner, take a look at your
short and long term fuel trims. Possibilities include O2 sensor,
injector(s), vacuum leak, etc. Long list of things that it could be.

Estuardo Valdez says:

Hi, sorry, I’m using a translator: tengo un problema con mi suzuki forenza
2006 esta consumiendo demasiado combustible y pues me gustaria ayuda para
poder repararlo saludes desde Guatemala

Thank you very much Antegas, and I’m glad that you found the video useful.
Take care…

stuzman52 says:

Thank you solo for the kind comment and I’m glad that you liked the video.
I’ve had lots of practice in teaching others at work while I’m doing
something, but sometimes my mouth does get out of sync with what I’m doing
LOL. Thanks again solo!

stuzman52 says:

No problem Homestead. That’s what we’re here for, is to learn from each
other. Since the switch lasts for a month or even two months, I would say
that it’s on the border line of being adjusted correctly. Probably wouldn’t
take much at all for it to move out of position. You may want to take it
back off and adjust as I show in the video. Of course, the tranny shaft is
in neutral and when I put the bolts in the slots, it was dead in the center
of it. You may can try that and see how it goes.

stuzman52 says:

Oh my Joe! If I ever get talking about the government when I’m doing a car
video, we would never hear about that car again. I wouldn’t stop talking
about the government issues that we’re facing now LOL.

Dohn Joe says:

I’m counting on that. And if you’ll have no technical motives for ranting,
you can always rant about government and freedom after Patriot Act.

Good job, its amizing how as you do your job and how to explain. excelent
video. saludos desde México.

Antegas Hindoyan says:

Excellent! Video. Thank you very much. I enjoy it a lot: God Bles you

The White Family Homestead says:

A question if you don’t mind I replaced the sensor in a forenza adjusted it
and it worked fine for a month then same issues dash reading funny and hard
shifting. I adjusted it again and its just fine for 2 months then same
issues. do you think I could have gotten a bad part? or hurt it on install?
Do you think I just cant get it adjusted? I am a little frustrated to say
the least.thanks for your time.

stuzman52 says:

Thanks Joe. When I get started on that Jetta again, I might start my
ranting again (grinning).

Dohn Joe says:

Nice job, that should hold 50,000 miles. Take a (short) break and then show
us more German engineering on that Jetta.

stuzman52 says:

Thanks Thomas for the comment! Around here, it’s always something around
here.

Thomas EXOVCDS says:

Great stuff, on to the next project (looking forward to it)!
