Hi

I know this is old and there are a million excuses I have for still not having finished the 2.0L swap into my Sport. I have been busy doing other modifications though 5.83 R&P with Front and rear lockers installed! Plus took care of some rust on the front doors, roof and rear door.

Hopefully I am a few steps closer to finalizing this swap. I was mentioning this project on an Icelandic Forum and was told by a forum member that the 1998/9 Grand Vitara 2.0L engine does not have a crank sensor as my 1.8L engine does. I am not sure but think the sensor is positioned on the rear of the crank on my engine. I do not see any sensor on the 2.0L engine I have in my garage. Does any one know more about this? I looked up crank position sensores on Rock Auto for both engines and found the exact same partnumber for them. Any help on this matter is gratly appreciated, thanks.

Best regards,
Tryggvi

Some do, some don't - if it's fitted it'll be "behind" the flywheel - it's actually in front of the flywheel when you consider front & rear of the vehicle, but you have to remove the flywheel to reach it.

OBD-II vehicles for the North American market will have them, OBD-I vehicles apparently don't (mine is a 98 OBD-I and does not) - if I'm correct, the Sidekick Sport was a North American market only vehicle (I've often wondered how you got one in Iceland), which would make it an OBD-II - you may have to run with the J20A ECU.

When you do it, take some pictures and post up a how to. I have a 98 sport, and I really want to do the 2.0 swap one day.
