Check engine light - jimny won't start was created by gavster
Hi all, just got a jimny and 2nd day of use it won't start!
it try's to start but it's as if it's out of petrol (I think that's the best way to describe it) the check engine and air bag warning lights are on the dash, not sure if they come on anyway when starting. A friend said that suzuki's can be like that if it's cold they won't start, it's only oct and not that cold. Thanks in advance

Never heard of Suzuki's struggling in the cold.
Mine started no prob last year in -18deg C
On the odd day it was lazy and turned over very slowly at first, but after one or two secs it was away.
Engine troubles tend to point towards sensors. Maybe the O2 sensor

What are the symptoms when the o2 / lambda sensor is on its way out?
