First of all I’d like to thank those who provided feedback about how to replace a Serpentine Belt. Even for a non-mechanical type like myself, I was able to replace it within the 10-30 minute range that was suggested by others. I have another issue that I’d appreciate any feedback on. My Trooper, like many others in this forum, has been sucking oil. In addition, I hear kind of a hollow, metal grinding type sound when my car is accelerating, and then it goes away when the car is done shifting gears. A mechanic told me that it was a PCV Valve issue, and that the valve was sticking open, causing the car to use more oil than normal. He pulled the PCV Valve, cleaned it up with some spray, and replaced the valve. The sound has gotten better, but is still there, and it is still using oil, making me think that the PCV Valve is still partially stuck open. My question is should I go buy and replace the PCV Valve myself? It looked fairly easy (pull the vacuum hose, and pull out the PCV Valve), and would only cost about $6 for the PCV Valve. Does the diagnosis from the mechanic sound plausible, and is the PCV Valve as easy to replace as it looks. Thanks in advance!

Replying to: Goalie69 (Jul 24, 2009 8:33 pm) Nope, can't think what that could be. This has an outside chance of being related to the air induction stuff described below. I have noticed a sound which I kink of relate to this when accelerating but would not describe as 'grindin'. Maybe more of a whooosh or hum: http://www.autoworld.com/news/isuzu/2000trooper.htm Of particular interest is the engine's sophisticated induction system. The variable air-intake system employs a butterfly valve that effectively lengthens or shortens the length of the intake track depending on the operating speed of the engine. Below 3600 rpm the valve closes. effectively lengthening the intake track. The longer track increases the volume of air, providing high torque at low and intermediate speeds. As engine speed increases over 3600 rpm, the solenoid switch turns off, shortening the port thereby increasing volumetric efficiency and providing high torque at high engine speeds |

I have a 2002 Trooper Ltd. Today for the first time, while driving, I heard this rattling in the rear cargo area. It got louder as I accelerated. At first I thought it was something vibrating against something or I had picked up a branch. But when I got out to look I couldn't see anything. Then, while still idling, I could hear the "rattling" near the driver's side of the rear wheel. What could it be?
