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?
