1999 Suzuki Esteem Service and Repair Manual

Refreshed styling marked the 1999 Esteem, and this is the year GLX Plus became the formal name of the top trim. Sedans and wagons were sold in GL, GLX and GLX Plus form, with the 1.6-liter SOHC four-cylinder joined by a 1.8-liter DOHC four-cylinder, the first engine choice in the model's history. Two engines in one model year means sensors, timing components and specifications differ from car to car. This factory service and repair manual covers both 1999 engines with procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules.
