92 sidekick won't start overdrive light flashes

[popough]

I have a 92 Sidekick 4 door. It started having problems with stalling, not like it was running out of gas but just cut out. when I'd try to start it the overdrive light would flash. If I let it sit (for an undetermined amount of time)
it would start. Then I noticed that when it wouldn't start the overdrive light flashed and if it wasn't flashing it would start. You never knew what it was going to do at any given time. I went thru everything I even hot wired the fuel pump on the fuel side of the plug and now I have noticed that the fuel pump connections at the tank dont look very good. the pink and black wire connector was green corroded and the black wire(which appears to be the hot wire) is like black as opposed to brassey looking... Any one have a clue I can be contacted at [e-mail] or [e-mail]

Hello Popough!

The O/D light's flashing means a kind of transmission trouble.
You can find some useful PDFs in carsoft.co.il/my/SUZUKI/SUZUKI%20VITARA.zip
One of them is a complete auto trans diagnosis guide which contains the trouble codes too.
The codes are:
**********
Trouble Code (1) Probable Cause
12 ............................... System Operation Normal
21 ..................... No. 1 Shift Solenoid Open Circuit
22 .................... No. 1 Shift Solenoid Short Circuit
23 ..................... No. 2 Shift Solenoid Open Circuit
24 .................... No. 2 Shift Solenoid Short Circuit
25 ............................. TCC Solenoid Open Circuit
26 ............................ TCC Solenoid Short Circuit
31 ............ Vehicle Speed Sensor Open Or Short Circuit
32 ................ Throttle Position Sensor Short Circuit
33 ................. Throttle Position Sensor Open Circuit
34 ................ Defective Park/Neutral Position Switch
36 .............. (2) No Signal-Both Vehicle Speed Sensors
(1) - Check listed component for probable cause. Also check wiring and connections of specified component.
(2) - No signal from both transmission and speedometer mounted vehicle speed sensors.

If a trouble code is present, OD OFF light will flash a
trouble code. The number of flashes will equal first digit of trouble code. After a one second pause, second digit will be displayed.
If more than one trouble code is present, next trouble
code will be displayed after a 3 second pause. Smallest number trouble code will be displayed first. Trouble codes will be repeated.

Good luck and have soon a running car!

You might also want to check the wires going to the fuel injector. I had a problem with turning over and no starting at all. Plus once in a while it would blow the fuel injector fuse. The group of wires had more than just injector controls. So you might want to check it out. But before you goto the trouble. My overdrive light seemed to function fine though.

PS: if it is like a simple flash one or twice. My 92 does that normally. Normally I think once. I don't pay much attention to it.
