SUVs Isuzu Trooper Isuzu Trooper Check Engine Light

You are in the Isuzu Trooper Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
I've got a 93 Isuzu Trooper that is giving me a check engine light intermittently in the morning. Again, this only happens in the morning and is intermittent. When the car idles, I get no check enging light. When I accelerate, the check engine light comes on. In the afternoon, when the day is warmer, the check engine light stays off. I took the car into the dealer and was told this was the EGR valve so I have removed and cleaned the valve but am still getting the same check engine indicator. I am going to try and replace the EGR valve but was wondering if anyone has seen this before and could offer some advice before I go through the trouble and expense.

Place finger on on EGR valve diaphragm and accelerate engine, diaphragm should move. Disconnect vacuum hose from EGR valve. Using a vacuum pump, apply 10" of vacuum to the valve. It should move and engine should run poorly or stall. If valve passes above test use CHART C-7A. If valve fails, replace valve.

Same subject but different ingredients! (In the UK)I have a 2001 Isuzu Trooper 3.0L diesel automatic which overheated on me whilst towing my caravan in hilly country. I noticed it before any damage was done but not before the Check Engine light came on. Thereafter the light came on and off in a completely random fashion without any apparent effect on the engine, all the functions of which seemed normal. However during a visit to the main Isuzu dealer nearby I asked them to plug in their electronic analyser thing, and they told me the throttle body needed replacing (at a great cost). I have obtained a replacement throttle body (not new but said to be in good working order) and having fitted it I find that the light comes on when the engine is not under load, but instantly goes out when an accelerator load is placed on the engine. This suggests to me that one or other of the sensors on the throttle body is minutely out of adjustment - I noticed that both the sensors have slotted mounting holes - but I am not able to find anywhere where the functions of the two sensors are described nor the manner in which they should be adjusted. Even the people I spoke to at the main dealers did not seem to know!! Can anyone please help.

In my 1998 Trooper S, I've been getting check engine light due to insufficient EGR flow every year since the past four years. I was told by a dealer that this could be because of my shorter and slower commute (15 miles at 35 mph the most). The dealer advised me to occasionally use higher octane fuel. I've been doing that but no relief. I cleaned the valve and the inlet pipe from the exhaust just recently and reset the codes. But the problem resurfaced in a month. Any suggestions on resolving this issue? Any suggestions on cleaning the outlet pipe that goes into air intake? I could not clean this pipe properly. Is there any way to clean without opening the air intake? Thanks very much in advance. |

I have a 2000 Isuzu Trooper and the check engine light stays on, i had it check out and it was the EGR valve. How do you remove the old EGR valve and replace it with a new one? Please advise.

Replying to: twlsnbys (Jun 14, 2007 7:52 pm) There is a gasket between it and the manifold that you may need to replace if in removing the valve it is damaged. Your discretion. Original Isuzu part no is 8170961783 Hope this helps
