#1853 of 2187 No Honda dealership can fix my 2000 Honda Passport problems by garss Dec 22, 2005 (12:10 pm)
I have a 2000 Honda Passport with just 70,000 miles on it. A month and a half ago, it suddenly just stopped running. Two mechanics and 3 Honda dealerships later, I was told that they can't do anything to fix it. They first thought that it was a problem with the timing belt so they had it replaced. Then they replaced the tensioner, worked on the cam shafts, did a pressure test on the engine but found nothing wrong. The Honda dealership tells me that it seems only half of the engine is running. They had a new computer chip shipped to the dealership so they could try it on my car but it didn't fix the problem. I'm close to giving up on it. I was also told that there's another Honda passport out there having the same problems. Do you guys have any suggestions before I junk the car? Replies to this message: dcam (Dec 28, 2005 8:22 pm)
#1854 of 2187 4WD Check Indicator Light On/4WD Not Working by scottexpat Dec 23, 2005 (1:30 am)
Hello. . I'm NOT a mechanic and I live in a foreign country where nobody has computer diagnostics here for my Isuzu Rodeo 2004. The vehicle has 5,000 miles on it. Previously, the 4WD would work fine. At some point, the 4WD would not turn off when I turned the 4WD switch off. The only way to turn off the 4wd would be to stop the vehicle, turn off the engine, and then turn off the 4WD switch. This worked for a while. Then, I turned the engine off 1 day, turned off the 4WD switch, and the Check 4WD Indicator Light lit up. The indicator light has been on for many months now, and the 4WD won't turn on at all now. Any ideas of what is wrong? What is the fix? Thanks so much!
#1855 of 2187 Rodeo window latch by suprgrl Dec 23, 2005 (3:21 pm)
My back window won't stay latched. I tried adjusting the window latch on the window, but the latch mechanism is just worn out. I bought a replacement one from the dealership. I have the Haynes book and it seems pretty straight forward, but I know nothing about working on my car has ever ended up being simple. I have a feeling that removing the actuating rods and installing them will be a nightmare. I was just wondering if anyone's replace it and if anyone had any tips for a single girl doing it herself.
#1856 of 2187 Re: isuzu rodeo 2001 transmission problems [blaznaro] by twross Dec 25, 2005 (9:42 pm)
Replying to: blaznaro (Dec 17, 2005 8:50 pm) I have a 97 passport that had hard shifting problems when stopping and it would occasionally loose power in the lower gears. You might want to check the gear select switch on the side of the transmission, they tend to get dirty and send improper gear selection info to the computer. The switch can be taken apart and cleaned. Not sure if yours has the same tranny as mine(4L30). Hope this helps. Replies to this message: phxrodeo (Jan 03, 2006 4:11 pm)
#1857 of 2187 2002 Rodeo Transmission Harness by pmonty Dec 26, 2005 (9:39 am)
I recently went to start my car and, nothing! No warning before this. No other major problems. Not the battery. Radio and indicator lights still work. Not the starter as confirmed by the first mechanic who looked at it. Isuzu dealer says it's the transmission harness. I could pay $390 to have them replace a wire and bypass the harness ground. This may fix this problem but may not prevent future problems with the harness. Or, I could pay $1055 and have the whole thing replaced. Ouch. Anybody else have problems with this. I feel they have me over a barrel. My car won't even start. Help! Replies to this message: makaye (Dec 26, 2005 10:40 am)

Replying to: pmonty (Dec 26, 2005 9:39 am) You might check for recalls or technical service bulletins for this condition. Look from 1998:   NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 98V170001 Component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:HARNESS:FRONT:UNDERHOOD Manufacturer: ISUZU MOTOR, LIMITED Year: 1998 Make: ISUZU TRUCK Model: RODEO Manufactured From: JUL 1997 To: FEB 1998 Year of Recall: '98 Type of Report: Vehicle Summary:   Vehicle Description: Sport utility vehicles. A ground connection terminal was not properly crimped in the supplier's engine wiring harness manufacturing line. This improper crimping process can leave an impression on the terminal that will eventually cause a stress fracture. Q: If a terminal is fractured, the powertrain control module (PCM) can receive an erroneous signal indicating a high vehicle speed, thereby causing the PCM to cut the fuel, causing a 'no-start' condition, or a possible engine stall.
#1859 of 2187 1996 Isuzu Rodeo V6(automatic) by mfallona Dec 26, 2005 (12:56 pm)
My rodeo is having problems, it starts and as it is idling it sounds like it is struggling to get fuel or power. I also notice that the battery indication fluctuates when I press on the brake. When I put it in reverse it almost stalls out. I backed out of the driveway slightly then I put it in drive and it just started rolling back and the brakes wouldn't even hold it. I can fix an airplane, but I am out of my element with cars. How often should a battery be changed? I left the interior lights on last week and I had to jump it, could this be related?
#1860 of 2187 92 Rodeo High RPM on Cold Start by mulcher1 Dec 27, 2005 (3:59 pm)
When I start my v6 rodeo (automatic) on cold start it revs to 4500 rpm, then slowly goes to normal idle after about 2 min. Seems like it is waiting for the water temp to heat up? Once warm it seems fine. Its the initial 2 min high rev that is scary. I don't dare put it in gear until it idles under 1000.   Any ideas what is wrong? Any help would be appreciated!   Mulcher1

Replying to: bdavis2 (Dec 06, 2005 3:52 pm) I had the same problem with the gas light on my 2000 Rodeo. The problem is a sensor in the gas tank, which cost around $550.

Replying to: garss (Dec 22, 2005 12:10 pm) Does your reduced power lamp come on?Does the vehicle run normal and then die?Sounds like a wire harness problem.This is common for your year model.Take it to an Isuzu dealer.If this is the problem,they should be able to diagnose it quickly.
