#47 of 65 1989 ISUZU TROOPER 2.8L by josephnewmex May 04, 2008 (12:24 pm)
I have an 89 trooper with over 200,000 miles on it. Runs strong but leaks oil behind the engine firewall. Its been that way for a while. I even need to replace the starter. I am taking the valve cover gaskets off and and having such a problem with them. I took them all off but the valve cover is so STUCK on there for some reason. Is there something I am missing as far as removing? The one I am having problems with currently is on the driver side. I really dont like that tight area between the firewall and the engine. I love that vehicle but really I need a truck. I dont mind an isuzu. This problem is so annoying to me and is there an easy solution? Also I need to remove that starter and is there an easy way to do it without removing the tire? I have a new solenoid for it actually. Anyway You can always mail me at josephnewmexicoyahoo.com and put 89 trooper on the subject if you have any direct questions or answers. Thank You!

Replying to: josephnewmex (May 04, 2008 12:24 pm) I also owned an 89 Trooper which developed a leak but it turned out to be from the rear main seal. The truck had a manual transmission and I intended to get the seal replaced when I had the clutch rebuilt. However, I went and traded it in on a new 99 Trooper before I got the work done. If your leak is from the valve covers, it should be an easy enough fix. If it is from the rear main seal, you can continue driving but keep an eye on your oil level.

#51 of 65 Hello by trooperdan May 11, 2008 (11:57 am)
I had a mechanic work on my 01 Trooper, and the following day the engine idled very low and then sometimes very high. This lasted a few days....but then it stopped. After several days the idling corrected itself. IF not it may be your o2 sensor and maybe a fuel filter. Good luck
#52 of 65 95 trooper, lots of questions by pglum May 11, 2008 (1:20 pm)
Hi. I am new to this forum. We have 2 troopers, a '91 and a'95. I have questions about the '95. We are the 2nd owners, it has about 190,000 miles on it. The oil indicator light (the one in the dash board that looks like an oil can) is on most of the time, but, the oil is fine (we have had it checked and there is not a problem); the check engine light comes periodically, mostly in warm weather, although it came on this past week during a cool day, and we only had driven it about 4 miles. Last week the transmission was not working right, but the transmission light did not come on right away but finally did come pm. The fluid was fine. We did not drive it for a couple of days, and then went to start it and it worked fine. Is this a problem others have had and what did you do about it? By problem, it seems there is a phantom problem.
#54 of 65 Fast Idle by bigskinny May 28, 2008 (9:04 am)
My Trooper's engine (3.2) is recently rebuilt. I replaced all vacuum lines, PVC valve, etc. When I purchased the vehicle the O2 censor was not connected so I replaced it this weekend. It has new plugs and plug wires. I assumed the thing was running in a default mode prior to all this work because it was slow to start, idled fine, but didn't get the mileage I thought it should. Now, with all this work done the idle speed is high. Upon cold starting the vehicle runs at a normal increased RPM. When warm it doesn't change. When driving and the clutch is pushed in the engine will idle up to 2000 RPM then down to 1500 then back up to 2000 RPM, continuing the cycle until I stop rolling. When I come to a complete stop with the clutch in the engine will quickly slow to 1200 RPM. Any thoughts?
#55 of 65 Re: 1999 Trooper 3.5L engine CLACKING noise! [1999trooper] by ghost329 Jun 16, 2008 (1:11 am)
Replying to: 1999trooper (Mar 10, 2008 4:27 pm) hey i was scrolling through the messages looking for prices for a trooper engine for my 99. my trooper did the exact in may of 2007. i was told it needed to be rebuilt.   from reading other messages it seems this could of been from low oil, apprently there aremany people writing posts saying they are having to put oil in every 1000 miles which is ridiculous but none the less very well could be the problem. i had the oil changed 2000 miles prior to it going out and they said it was due to low oil.   So get it checked out.   Now i was wondering if u did change the engine already and if u could give me a good price on which you paid for it and labor or the estimates you got.
