Hello. I am experiancing the same problem with our Rodeo. I have found service bulletins which pointed to the app sensor, but when replaced it, same thing, stalls, chokes, then dies on 1st start of day, then after that it will start perfect until the next cold start. also have noticed it will do it more above 60 degrees outside temp. I have tried cleaning the egr port, which seems to make it start better for a couple of days, but then it goes back to stalling. As you say Does ANYONE have any ideas?????

#6 of 12 New engine for 2001 Isuzu Rodeo by nogorodeo

I have a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo 4x4 with a 3.2l V6. On a trip, the oil signal started flickering (not staying on, not flashing, but flickering) I thought I would drive a couple of miles and pick up a quart of oil as it may need it. Within about 4 miles it started ticking. It got louder so I pulled over and turned the key off. When I tried to start it again, nothing happened. I had to tow it in and discovered that the engine had locked up. It was completley dry of oil. I need to replace the engine, but want to know what other vehicles had this type of engine. I will probably buy a used one and need to have as many options as possible. Does anyone know????

I hace a 99 rodeo and it does the same thing on the first sart of the day is takes me 5 or more turns of the key and holding it for it to crank but once it does it shakes like a dog scratching fleas. I let it idle for about a min or 2 and it is fine for the rest of the day. I have to change me spark plugs ab out ever 500 miles or so because it starts skipping. That fixes the problem for about a day or 2 and then its back to the not cranking and shaking. I have no idea!!!

This helped fix mine, cleaned the Mass air flow sensor and screan, used throtle body spray cleaner. Rmoved the air cleaner lid from MAF sprayed down screan while running, car died finished spraying it down, let set for a while then started ran bad for few min. Started fine next morning. Its been a week and still running good.

I have found if I turn key on (without starting) and wait for a click under hood and repeat 3 times then start it runs great, can't figure that out, but it works on mine.

I wonder whether there might be a problem with your starter relay (solenoid). From your description, it sounds like it's sticking and not engaging promptly so it might be gummed up or it's not getting enough electrical current. Anyone else have any ideas?

#12 of 12 2001 Isuzu Rodeo transmission not catching by noriegajr1

Aug 24, 2012 (9:08 pm)

Its been progressively getting worse, when I start the Rodeo and put it in drive and press the gas to go, it just revs the RPM's up until it finally catches 1st gear and it also does the same when shifting to 2nd... Its an automatic with 135k on it, took it to a friend of mine who happens to be a mechanic and he said to replace the whole transmission... Are there any other ideas that might fix or improve the trany shifting ability?
