We had some trouble where it seemed to be shifting weird like it just didn't want to go. Shut the car off and after a bit it was fine. Mechanic said the transmission needed to be reset. Before we could get it in to that my daughter was driving and it shook for a second and seemed weird so we parked it. Codes read multiple misfired and cam shaft sensor. Started with the cam shaft sensor. Took a bit to get it to start. When it did the check engine light keeps flashing and something still doesn't seem right. Any suggestions on what to try next?

That is. I will read through this. I used a scan took today and it gave me the p0300 code. It was really hard to start at first. Once we got it started when you are at a stop and you accelerate its difficult to get it going but once up to about 20 mph it seems to run fine. Although the check engine light keeps flashing so i didn't want to drive it far.

Hello again,

Okay, work your way through the guide that we sent to you and you will fix the problem. It is a systematic process of elimination, so be patient. Susuki wrote it though, so know what is apt to go wrong first, more than anyone else, so hopefully it won't be too long into the guide that you will fix the issue. Please keep us informed as too your progress.

Thanks,
Alex
