Really nice Peter, thank you. MOTs coming up soon so need to get her ready. Really sweet little cars these.

[@petersbackyardbuilds]

Cheers mate, great cars. Enjoy and good luck.

Hi Peter, thanks for the vids just replaced rocker cover gasket following your instructions, all went well. Drove it for a while with no problems but when I stopped it now has a high idle, around 1800rpm. When I turn the AC on it drops to around 900-1000rpm. Do you have any ideas what would be the problem?

What did you clean the maf sensor with? Can of air? Also what if you don't clean the maf sensor? Can't get mine un hooked

Hello, thank you very much for this video. I need to change the fuel filter on a 2007 suzuki swift sport but I can't find the location. Could you tell me where it is?

[@zanezycalleja3020]

Looking at the manual it appears you need to take the fuel tank out, it’s a fairly big job.

[@AbelSanz11]

@@zanezycalleja3020 it's in the fuel tank 😩 It says it in the manual. Thanks

[@AbelSanz11]

@@Psycho-Timbo thanks.. You are right, in the manual it indicates that it is together with the fuel pump.

I have a decade younger model of this car, the MAF sensor looks weird. Upon cleaning the throttle body, I had a rough starting as well.

[@petersbackyardbuilds]

Good work mate. Enjoy

[@edwardflores6520]

Hi nice video! could you share the type/model of the OBD scanner you used for your swift.

[@petersbackyardbuilds]

Sure and thanks. It’s just a eBay special think it may have cost me around the $50 mark. Brand - Konnwei Model - KW808. Cheers.

[@edwardflores6520]

@@petersbackyardbuilds wow Great! i'll check on that. Appreciate you time Peter, thank you!

[@petersbackyardbuilds]

Anytime mate.

[@theguygames1]

In which case you should clean throttle body and why you applied wd 40 on the belt?

[@petersbackyardbuilds]

Cheers mate.

[@theguygames1]

Yeah mate. I wanna ask you this that when should a person consider to clean the throttle body

[@petersbackyardbuilds]

Generally every service. That’s what I do. Just helps keeping a smooth idle. Cheers mate.

[@theguygames1]

@@petersbackyardbuilds okay. And why did you sprayed wd 40 inside engine belt?

[@petersbackyardbuilds]

Lubrication. Only a small amount.

New fan belt. 👍🏻

[@myriks6942]

hi, nice video! Hi, I have the same car, I cleaned the throttle body with brake cleaner. And since when I start the choke goes down then back up, I think I've adjusted it. Is it possible to solve the problem so that it's like before?

[@petersbackyardbuilds]

Did you take the throttle body off or clean it on the car?

[@myriks6942]

​@@petersbackyardbuilds in the car because I'm not a mechanic, I may have been too brutal, but I wonder if it's not the spark plugs because when I changed them I put in champions instead of NGKs( sorry for my bad english)

[@vsmh96]

​@@myriks6942is your throttle body electric or one with a wire? If it's electric, you must not force it open or it will require recalibration. If it's one with a wire, you can just pull the wire to have it open up.

[@myriks6942]

@@vsmh96 it's an electric throttle body, it was recalibrated last month at the garage. the whole intake system is new. there is a difference...but it doesn't come from there. On the other hand, when it's very hot and the car has been in direct sunlight, the idle does not hold up well. That's the current problem.

[@vsmh96]

@@myriks6942 you might want to check out the following: 1. Idle valve 2. EGR 3. Spark plugs 4. Spark plug coils It's also normal that the car experiences some random up and downs after cleaning the TB, I suggest you reset the ECU by unplugging your battery for 5 mins. Remove - then + When done put + then - Alarm might sound All these can probably be pinpointed if you use and OBD scanner

[@bajan246bim]

Never use brake cleaner down the throttle body that is probably what cause the light to come on.

[@petersbackyardbuilds]

Thanks for your input.

[@Beyblade_worrior]

Sound like you need a new fan belt mate

[@steveedmond9362]

You removed and replaced the MAF sensor. Didn't show any cleaning of it 🤷‍♂️ so how long do you air-dry it? Any warnings on handling it correctly? Nope...Not really informative at all.

[@petersbackyardbuilds]

Hi Steve, if you use the correct cleaner it’s pretty simple. The parts that shouldn’t be handled are protected within the plastic casing. Not hard, take it out clean it and put it back in really as it’s a alcohol type cleaner so it’s dry almost immediately.

[@desrondbuffonge9835]

He didn't even show us how he cleaned the throttle body. This video don't makes no sense

[@petersbackyardbuilds]

Difficult to get a camera in that area as I clearly stated in the video. Pretty simple though, spray plenty of carb cleaner or brake cleaner and scrub with a toothbrush or similar. In regards to making sense, check the second sentence of your comment. Enjoy the videos. Cheers.

[@cjchurch2017]

So does this video make sense or not?

Must be American.
