Alright guys, I need your help. I've posted about this on two Suzuki forums in hopes I'll find something, but this site has helped me more than anything else, so I figured I'd post this here, too. About 5 months ago, my sister's 1997 Geo Tracker 1.6L severely overheated, causing a warped head and blown head gasket. Just finished re-assembly today, and here's what's happening:
When I went to start it up for the first time, it immediately started, ran, and idled at approx 800 rpm. That's not having been run in almost 5 months. Pretty sure it should be around 11-1500, no? Anyways, everything looked ok and I couldn't see anything wrong, so we took it for a test drive. Drove great, had full power, nice and smooth, warmed up ok... then started to idle at around 500 rpm once it was fully warmed up. Seemed like it was barely keeping itself running. Turned it off to check the fluids and coolant level and everything, and when I tried to start it again, it wouldn't even idle anymore. Will fire up and die immediately, maybe stumbling for just a second. It will run and idle if I keep my foot on the gas, but won't idle on it's own. Haven't had the chance to let it cool completely down and try again, but I feel I may have just overlooked or missed something upon re-assembly, even though I can't see anything.
I am getting two trouble codes:
P1035 (which I believe is the O2 heater circuit)
and P0751
Again, I don't see anything wrong our out of place, no leaks, no misfire, everything seems fine (aside from the codes). Just won't idle. Any ideas? It's my sisters car and it's a few cities away now, but what should I check for when I go back tomorrow?
Thanks, guys. Any and all help is much appreciated.
