I really hope someone can help me. I ran into a situation today with my 1990 Isuzu Trooper 5 speed manual. With a 2.8 liter V6. Today I stopped to wash my car at the car wash. After I did so, I jumped on the hiway. About a miles down the freeway, My vehicle stalled. On the side of the freeway, I went thru the process of problem solving the situation. This is what I had done.... First and foremost, I checked the distributor and router for moisture. In doing so, I found no moisture. I then checked all the plug wires, and everything was secure and dry. After that, I went ahead and checked to see if I had blown a fuse. In doing so, nothing was blown. I also checked the fabric wire fuses and rearanged the relays next to the fuses. Then I started to think that there was fule pump problem. I went ahead and put some fuel in the carb from a gas can I always keep for safety purposes. I added not too much and not to little. In craking it over, nothing fired. It just turned over. So then I got thinking, maybe my coil was shot. I went ahead and purchased a new one at the auto store and replaced the old one. To all avail, It still woudn't fire up. All it's doing is turning over. In the end, I ended up having to have it towed home. So here I am, and I just don't know what to make of it all. When I look back to what I did at the car wash. I didn't open the hood this time to wash down the engine, so I don't know how water could have got anywhere. One thing I did do was spray under the engine and the under carrage. I always do so here in Colorado. Esspecially when the snow and mud collects underneeth. If there is anyone out there that can help me troublshoot this problem, It would be soooo greatly appreciated.... Thanks a bunch....  Maddy

Hi My son just bought an 2000 Izuzu trooper it runs great, though it needs some parts replaced Timing belt. It has 130miles. It had it's transmission replaced however it is going through a quart of oil every 100 miles My husband thought it was a loose dip stick cause he could not see any evidence of oil dripping from any where, thought it might be the valve gaskets, no sign of engine trouble ,( rough idle , ect it runs real smooth) . My husband is hoping it does not need an new engine! any notable history about a problem like this? |

Replying to: jbdy (Jan 04, 2008 6:15 am) I think that running a product like Seafoam or Rislone or similar and a couple of frequent oil changes with filters right away may help improve things. That is also a common treatment for this motor. It appears that the oil rings on the pistons get gummed up and stick resulting in less efficient oil wiping and thus increase the oil consumption. I am sure you will hear other items to check, among them the PCV valve and vacuum hoses, etc. All are good ideas. Also worth mentioning is that when you change the timing belt , also replace the water pump and pulleys. This is because it is a lot of work to change the belt,and having to go back in to fix the pump or pulley bearings later is just not worth the risk. The factory usually recommends changing the belt at 100,000 miles. Welcome to the Forum! Hope this helps. Try a search to learn more too! Remember that, like you, people come to a forum because they are having a problem, so the questions and problems you read about are heavily weighted with negative impressions. Seems like people who own Isuzus and keep them feel they are worth it!!! EDIT: thry this link http://forum.planetisuzoo.com/viewtopic.php?t=1914
