#4653 of 4944 Isuzu Trooper 4x4 front axle will not engage by wesbellmore Nov 09, 2008 (12:41 am)
2001 Trooper 4x4, only owner, 42,000 miles, maintained, never off-roaded or abused. 6 cyl, auto, shift on the fly 4x4 (Does NOT have Torque on Demand system) PROBLEM: Front axle will not engage (will not go into four wheel drive) when the dash button is pressed. At idle I can hear a "cla-chunk" when I press the dash 4x4 switch, so there is 'something' trying to engage the front axle, but the dash 4x4 indicator light just blinks and the axle will not lock up. SOMETIMES the front axle will engage if I press the dash switch BEFORE I start the engine, then for dash indicator light stays on and the front axle locks up and runs fine in four wheel drive. SO, this tells me the mechanism in the front axle is FINE, it's the engagement system that is out of whack. It has a vacuum system to lock the front axle up...anyone have any experience with this goofy system? Wes

Replying to: natekelly (Nov 16, 2008 7:06 am) Sounds like an ignition system issue. Have we had a tune up lately?

Replying to: natekelly (Nov 16, 2008 7:06 am) or fuel delivery issues. Doesn't use much fuel when idling, but as you are revving it up it would need more fuel delivery from the fuel pump/filter. But your problem could be many things, you should take it somewhere to have them diagnose it properly. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 17, 2008 8:50 am)

Replying to: kiawah (Nov 16, 2008 2:02 pm) Could be, but I'm always suspicious of ignition when the problems start at a specific rpm....seems to me if you had fuel pressure that bad you'd never get up to 2,500 rpm.
#4659 of 4944 Timing chains on Toyotas by inkie Nov 17, 2008 (10:12 pm)
It would be appreciated if anyone can let me know what Toyota models {if any] have steel timing chains? Also, do any engines they manufacture are non-interference? Thanks. Replies to this message: suvshopper4 (Nov 18, 2008 6:41 pm)

Replying to: inkie (Nov 17, 2008 10:12 pm) I know the 2.0L 4-cyl in the 2001 and forward RAV4 has a timing chain, not a belt. I have read that Toyota engines are non-interference (unlike Honda). -ss4
#4661 of 4944 Toyota Timing Chains [suvshopper4] by inkie Nov 18, 2008 (10:15 pm)
Thank You, I have not had too much luck with these questions at the dealers in the Lehigh Valley.Whenever I get there the service manager is not in and the underlings were probably told not to discuss anything and refer me to the service manager. Pretty fancy not like Honda and GM. Now that I have some engine models it may be easier to get specs.

I have a 2000 saturn l series 300 v6 with transaxel. it wont go forward or reverse. code checker says 1810...
