#1159 of 2255 sticker shock!!! by jtk152 Oct 11, 2003 (6:08 am)
No doubt about it, MSRP's were really shocking up to 2003. Plus isuzu didnt really advertise the huge factory to dealer rebates for 2002 either (isnt that surprising!) You pretty much had to talk to a sales person to find out about that. Most people peeked at the sticker & bailed out! As far as the redesign of the rodeos goes, yes, The 1991-1997 rodeo kept the same look, with some minor interior changes & major powertrain changes here & there, but- 1998+ is a completely different animal from head to toe. 6-7yrs with pretty much the same "look" isnt all that unusual.

#1160 of 2255 Tony's problems... by jtk152 Oct 11, 2003 (6:13 am)
Tony- typically EGR only comes into play on acceleration. No EGR on start-up or idle. Sounds like you've replaced a lot of stuff at this point. You'd have to compression test each cylinder to determine if you had a stuck valve or not. I highly doubt it. What OBDII codes are you getting?? Joel
#1161 of 2255 help with possible exhaust valve sticking by tonyscar Oct 11, 2003 (6:28 am)
Well I'm now leaning toward a stuck exhaust valve on my 2000 Rodeo. Any one else have this problem?   After replacing the ION mod and the egr valve(possibly unnecessarily)it appears to possibly be a stuck valve. It starts, and Idles fine with no misfires present. The timing is in synch and it only starts losing pressure seemingly when I press the gas. It's not choppy or rough which may lead me to plugs or timing but I still have no power above 2500rpm. When I remove the EGR valve and cover the port holes, there is a tremendous amount of exhaust air blowing out the ports. Is this normal? I'm thinking there may be a stuck valve which is forcing all the air out this exit and may be keeping the egr valve in the OPEN position causing it to not have the power. Acceleration should have the valve in the closed position correct ? Any ideas or what may be a good product to release a stuck valve. My lease is due back in 8 days and I certainly do not want to pull the motor apart to do valve work. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.   Tony

Good point Joel. All the compression checks came back ok at the station..the code retrieved was for the ION mod and that was replaced.   Tony
#1163 of 2255 Tony.. Bad coil(s)??? by jtk152 Oct 11, 2003 (6:56 am)
Tony- it's possible you have one or more bad coil packs? (one over each spark plug). The GM/delphi ion sensing system needs good coil packs to work. Did you put denso plugs in? are the connectors to each coil pack making good connection? Are each coil firmly "clicked" onto each spark plug? I'd unplug each one, put some di-electric grease on the plug & re-connect them. Maybe even pull each coil & verify it's making contact w/ each plug. Twist as you pull each one- so it comes out in one piece. If the coil pulls off of the rubber tube- no biggie, just yank out the rubber tube & stick it back on the coil. Throw some di-electric grease between the tube & plug as well. G/luck Joel
#1164 of 2255 Tony- Battery, alternator, grounding??? by jtk152 Oct 11, 2003 (7:19 am)
Tony- I'm going way out on a limb, but how's your battery? This definately sounds like an electrical issue. If your truck doesnt see somewhere around 13V and proper amperage, things can go wacky. Another thing to check is proper grounding. Make sure your chassis & engine grounds are good. Joel
#1165 of 2255 Tony's probs by tonyscar Oct 11, 2003 (8:14 am)
Good point Joel. All the compression checks came back ok at the station..the code retrieved was for the ION mod and that was replaced.   Tony
#1166 of 2255 joel's insight by tonyscar Oct 11, 2003 (8:22 am)
I will definitely check all that you recommend Joel. The mechanic did mention something about water being down in the 3 plug chambers on one side of the motor. The other side was ok. But he did replace them all with NGK Platinums. Cant really see how the water could get in there..but anything is possible. I will continue to troubleshoot. At this time the truck is in my driveway and I am investigating anything that may be possible.   Tony
#1167 of 2255 coils? by jtk152 Oct 11, 2003 (9:15 am)
Tony- Water down in the spark plug recesses will DEFINATELY short out a coil & cause a misfire. Did you go thru deep water or wash the engine bay prior to this happening? The spark plug chambers are pretty well sealed by the rubber cap on the top of each boot/tube, but a heavy volume of water or water at high pressure could get in there. I bet that's your problem. Either those coils are fried or you still have water down in there. Make sure all the spark plug chambers are clean & dry. Pull all the plugs to see which ones are firing & which are not. You can also swap the coils around to see if the problem follows the coil. G/luck Joel
