JS and JX came as two-door convertibles or four-doors with the 1.6L SOHC four, while the flared JS Sport, JX Sport and JLX Sport four-doors used the 1.8L DOHC four. Parts for this generation are increasingly scarce, so accurate references help, and this factory service and repair manual gives 1998 procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules for both engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngines covered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.6L inline-four — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.8L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody styles covered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-door sport utility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-door convertible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrims covered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJLX Sport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJS Sport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJX Sport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnown issues on the 1998 Sidekick.\u003c\/strong\u003e No recalls are on federal record for the 1998 Sidekick.
