Gen 3 - Engine Stalling at low revs - Service Bulletin
Looking through the Suzuki Jimny bulletins, I found this one from March 2019 for Gen3 Jimnys (so the bulletin was released after the Gen3 was discontinued). I believe it applys to all Jimnys from 2008 but it may evne extend to 2005 (introduction of the VVT)
"Engine stalling may occur when pulling away from standstill using minimal accelerator pedal input."
This applies to both Manual and Automatic vehicles. If you think your Jimny stalls too easily then there is a software update for ECU,
This aoplies to ECU:
33920-76JB*
33920-76JC*
33921-76JA*
33921-76JB*
33921-76JL*
33921-76JM*
33922-76J7*
33922-76J8*
33922-76JG*
33922-76JH*
As ALL gen3 are out of warranty this upgrade would cost you, It is timed as a 40 minute activity on the Bulletin.#

Does it say anything about it like "when cold or at a low temperature"?
My 05 VVT has started to allmost stop when cold, seems the idle up is not giving enough up when the weather is cold. 4-5 seconds after starting, the idle just drops for a few seconds before coming up again. Just about when you start to drive in some cases.
