Start by checking for cracked or broken vacuum hoses. |

Sometimes it doesn't do it for at least 10kms other times it does it straight away |

so it could be a few things then - vacuum hose leak or another leak on the inlet of some sort - block idle jet - or mabey idle mixture needs adjusting?? i guess all easy things to check, and go over ya self

Injector cleaner is not going to do a thing. I suggest finding from here, a good suzi mechanic and getting to have a look. |
