It could be Crankshaft Positional Sensor. My friend had the same issue, but his car use to stall only when he takes a turn for some reason. First make sure it is not MAF or MAP sensors as I mentioned before.

I did go ahead and replace the MAP sensor. The problem still occurd. As for the MAF sensor, I can't seem to locate the particular part in my vehicle. Do you know where it might be located? I'm also trying to figure out where the crankshaft position sensor might be or what it looks like.
The reason why I ask is because there is a junk yard near buy that has 7 Isuzu Troopers of my make. I thought I would stop there and pull one of the MAF sensors. I know they're kind of spendy,

go to www.myisuzuparts.com for illustrations of the parts.I don't know that there is a MAF on your motor, but look at the site. The crank positions sensor on a 3.2 is located just above and to the rear of the passenger side engine mount. HTH

The MAF sensor is in the air intake, it has lot of needle like components hanging, it just measures the amount of air getting in to the intake.

I am an original owner of a 2000 Isuzu Trooper, 3.5 SL with 73k miles. I took a long trip last weekend (in the upper Midwest) and added 4qts. of oil 167 miles into the trip b/c my oil light went on after making a stop (I was about 800 miles short of being due for an oil change). I continued another 469 miles and added another 3 qts. I'm taking it in for an oil change today and then have an appt. w/a dealer next wed. for them to do some extensive testing (as I understand from a phone conversation when scheduling the appt.). The service dept. mentioned possibly needing to take apart the engine b/c it is consuming so much oil instead of doing an oil test of 5 check-ups every 500 miles. I also did notice a few drops of oil on my garage floor which I've never seen before. The phrase "taking apart the engine" makes me nervous (being a female in a male dominated auto service world). Should I try your advice of a couple of frequent oil changes and running a product before I take it in? Can I please get your thoughts on all this?

Filter Upgrade

First off, this engine is known to burn SOME oil. I used to loose almost 1 qt. every two to three months. I can tell you what I did to my 2000 trooper (LS 3.5) which may help to remedy your problem. When may Trooper was approximately two years old, I read an online artical on modifying the oil filtering system. The standard oil filter on this vehicle is very small (which creates quite a bit of heat and restricted capacity and circulation). I removed the original threaded oil housing bolt with one I had found on a Trooper Upgrade web-site, which would accomodate a larger filter (Fram type PH8 or any other compatible brand, the same one used on the 2000 Ford Ranger 4.0 litre V6). This more then doubles the size of the oil filter reservoir and increases it's flow. I also use only synthetic (Mobile Gold) oil and extended life (7,500 mile) premium oil filters. I now burn about half the amount of oil prior to the conversion. If you are interested in performing this conversion (you really can do it yourself), I can provide you with some additional info.

Water In Engine Compartment

Got water all over the engine and found moisture in distributor cap. Now distributor cap and rotor are dry. Engine will start but will not allow throttling in order to drive it. If water got into the TBI and fouled the plugs, would this cause this issue?

Hi and welcome to the forum. You don't say what year, model engine and trans your vehicle is equipped with. Kind of hard to supply a good answer. Pretty hard normally to get water that far into intake if you have stock equipped intake system, but it seems a little peculiar that it will start but not respond to the throttles. Your throttle position sensor (if equipped) may have been affected by the water as well. More info will probably get you more or better answers. HTH.

Trooper is a 1990 with the GM 2.8 V6. This one is 4WD with the 5-Spd manual transmission. The intake is the old style breather with the old style ring air filter. The breather covers only the TBI. I just started it again a few minutes ago. It now starts actually better than it has since I got it in Feb 07. Once started it runs pretty smooth. When you depress the accelerator, you can hear it choking itself to death on the fuel if you throttle past 2K RPM. I can smell strong gas fumes from the exhaust when it does this as well. It was powerwashed on Thursday of last week. Not a good idea I know but I had to get some of the oil from the front because I was looking for whatever is leaking so that I could repair it. Anyhow, I thought once it dried out it would straighten up but not the case here. Please help if anyone has any info on what could have caused this from someone else doing the same thing.
