I am having idling and drivability problems with my 1984 Trooper. It acts like a miss but it runs rough and has great power loss. At an idle it will die. any ideas? I have replaced the following..........Plugs, wires, rotor, cap, coil, fuel filter many different vacuum lines.

The universal clip worked perfectly!! Its still working today. There is a special glue that the clip supplier provided along with the clip. No problems since i put in on a couple of years ago. You will be glad you spent the money to fix it!!

Will a loose camshaft gear cause my 2001 trooper to drop rpm and stall? by rberry7682

90,000 miles engine light stays on and blinks when I accelerate. When I let off say at a red light it stalls/idles really rough. sometimes it runs good but usually after 5 minutes or so this starts happening. had all four o2 sensors replaced and everything from spark plugs and wires to the coil checked and nothing was found. Took it another place for a pin-out test which had no findings and the mechanic thinks the camshaft gear is loose and said that there are similar issues with these trucks? Could this be the issue?

Well, I am no expert, and I am assuming you have a 3.5L trooper, which is the same basic design as the troopers from 93 up, with some minor changes along the way. Any mechanic that tells you "camshaft gear" has no idea what he is telling you. There are several "gears" in the cam timing mechanism and your problem sounds electrical to me. That said, I think there is a "camshaft sensor" on your truck that is electrical, but I can't say that it is at fault. A true Pin out test using the isuzu factory manual would allow a good mechanic to check sensors to make sure they are in "range". I would absolutely get the codes read in your ecm, and write them down and go to a mechanic that has some familiarity with Isuzus and electrical troubleshooting. HTH One guys opinion.

I had this problem too when I bought my 2000 Trooper from someone.
 
I think it is one of two things (just dont know which one)
 
I gave it a tune-up.. my problem were the spark plugs - i ordered some fancy ones, and realized that I had to get the special ones for the trooper since of the ION-sensoring item. no clue, but that helped it. Make sure you have the right spark plugs, and not the ones that should be ok... NGK something were the ones I got.
 
Also, Check the intake manifold for leaks. I had one, and it caused some issues too..
 
One of those two above cases is a problem that seems like you could be having.. i just really dont know which one it is.. checking for leaks is easy..

Ok here is an update. Truck is running perfect in the mornings now. It had many different vacuum leaks. Problem now is in the afternoon temps rising and sun out more it will miss in the afternoon only! totally confused with this one though. I have tried a few tuning things (timing, fuel mixture, idle) none of which have helped this afternoon problem. It does sound as if the lifters/valves are ticking more then usual if that makes sense? I heard these motors need constant valve gap checks and adjustments. Could this be the problem?
 
Thanks in advance

Isuzu Trooper 99 -- Recently noticed car is swaying more/road noise by wuchi

Hi,
 
I have a 1999 Isuzu Trooper at around 113,000 miles. The car is starting to sway (rock back and forth) more when I go over bumps. It's not 'catching' as much/rocks side-to-side. It's not really dramatic, but just enough to make you a little car sick.
 
Recent car goings-on:
-- Replaced shocks (original equipment) yesterday to see if this would help it. Didn't seem to help much. Put on the Mountain Ryder Gas http://www.lesschwab.com/shocks/mountainryder_gas.asp shocks at Les Schwab.
-- Have newer tires (about 2 years old), all-weather -- wear pattern seems ok.
-- Recently had starter replaced twice, 1st one didn't work out. About a month after this I noticed the sway more. Don't know if something got banged-up in the front end when the dealer was working on it.
-- Left rear axil seal leak last fall (hub bearing and seal)
 
Any suggestions on what to look at/replace?
 
Also, if you know of any suggestions for a car this age to get the road/air-flow noise down some. Should I replace the rubber lining on the doors?
 
Thanks ahead for any suggestions.

It has to be an issue with the suspension. The new shocks must have a problem. Are the mounted properly, with the right amount of torque? Were they properly sized for the Trooper?
 
To replace that starter requires a undercarriage cross-member to be removed and the exhaust pipe to be dropped. Did the repairman put everything back together properly? Is the cross-member loose?
