I'm driving a May 1995 Suzuki Swift 1.0 GL. I'm new to cars so don't know if it's has a carburator or injection engine. Heard from the previous owner's mechanic that 1994 model and before uses a carb. Those 1995 models are using fuel injection engines. Anyone experts can advise?

not sure about the 95 swift, but a sure way is to look for fuel injectors and intake

runners into the head. i believe its 3 cylinders, so look for 3 sets of these.

 

better still, if you can post a pic of your engine bay.

You'll need to take a few pics nearer to the Air-Filter box than we can confirm it's Fuel injection or Carb wink.gif I know that the Suzuki Swift 1.0 has single point fuel injection & not Multi-point Fuel Injection like most 1.3L & above cars wink.gif

 

 

 

laugh.giflaugh.gif will reduced the ===== a bit, but you'll need to use 1024 x 768 to have a better setting for Web serving sly.gif

If i'm not wrong, carb cars usually have air filters on the top, while EFI cars have air filters by the side of the throttle body..

 

Cheers.

The swift 1.0L single point fuel injection looks similar to the Carb version wink.gif I remember about this when I was hunting for a 1.0L car back then. Instead of having a Carb, a Single Point Fuel Injector are located there smile.gif.

 

If you talk about Mulitiple Fuel Injection, which most car have now, with the injector rail on top of the block head near to the plugs, then this assumption is true thumbsup.gifthumbsup.gifthumbsup.gif

thats right,

carb engines need to suck in air from top down, something to do with the way

the petrol is mixed with the air.

on the other hand, EFI doesnt employ this method hence the intake system is positioned

to the side of the engine.

Swift is single point fuel injection engine.

Single point is not very efficient, but improved over the carburettion system of fuel metering.

Swift is a realiable workhorse.
