#32 of 44 Re: Car died while in motion I need help??? [erinl1031] by okmech1 Apr 09, 2008 (3:19 pm)
Replying to: erinl1031 (Apr 09, 2008 9:07 am) Fuel pump is a good guess, if you turn everything off - radio, fan, etc, when you turn the key to 'on' you should hear a low hum/whinning sound which is your fuel pump. If you don't hear anything at all, chances are it's the pump, or at least a something in the power circuit of the pump.
#33 of 44 Engine shuts off while braking by jobug6 Oct 25, 2009 (4:33 pm)
Hi, my 94 Buick Park Avenue just had its fuel regulator replaced because it was sort of jerking occassionally while driving at highway speeds. After that was fixed, it seemed to drive OK, except at around 1500 rpm, it would sort of shudder and jerk lightly. The mechanic said he would check it, but before I could get it in there, it started dying while braking, but only once in a while. (It is hard for me to get time off work to leave my car, so I put off going back to the mechanic.) I watch the alternator indicator and it doesn't go one way or the other. The car just dies with no notice or noise or anything. Suddenly no power steering. Fortunately, the times it has done this is either right before stopping or as I slow way down to make a turn. Today however, it was totally dead when I tried to start it. Click, click, click. The second time, I tried, it made a metal clanking noise. I got a jump and it started right up, drove quite well for a trip, but as I approached home, slowed down to stop at a traffic light, it died. The battery and alternator were replaced last winter. Also, the computer module was replaced last winter. Any help appreciated. Replies to this message: steve_ (Oct 25, 2009 4:44 pm)

#35 of 44 2000 Isuzu Cleaned EGR valve and is stalling by ziggenpuss Nov 03, 2009 (11:55 am)
just cleaned the EGR valve on my 2000 Isuzu rodeo and now I am having idling and stalling issues, the descriptions of the "pintle" were confusing, is there any way to resolve this issue? We followed the instructions to the letter, and now the car will stall out when in park, and when placed in drive , it seems as if the engine is about to stall.
#36 of 44 Rough Idle Issue by dodgedodger1 Nov 05, 2009 (5:17 pm)
I noticed this issue with the 91 Rodeo but I did not see where anyone had a good response that fixed the problem. My brother has the same issue with the same model & year vehicle, and after replacing the O2 sensor and cleaning the EGR valve the issue is still present. When the car sits for a while it will start right up, run a bit, then starts to run rough and then dies out. It acts like there is no gas but when we pull the gas lline on top the enginer and turn the ign on the gas comes pouring out - so it's not that. Sprayed carb cleaner around the intake and didn't help. Does nyone have any good ides of what to chek next? Replies to this message: sparkplug7 (Nov 19, 2009 7:50 am)
#37 of 44 My '96 Rodeo wants to start, but dies.. by ivy96 Nov 14, 2009 (12:44 pm)
After it's been sitting for a while, it starts right up, but most of the time, I have to practically floor it to get it to stay on. I turn the key, hear it start and hit the gas, and if i let the gas go too soon, the engine dies. Husband thought it was just as simple as spark plugs, so he changed them, but the same thing happened. What do i do? What could it be? My check engine light is on right now, but it goes on and off at will (it seems) Im at a loss. Please help Replies to this message: sparkplug7 (Nov 19, 2009 7:23 am)

Replying to: cbuckley (Apr 24, 2009 2:45 pm) it sounds like a short from battery to starter not making enough contact. trace the red wire (positive wire) from the battery to the starter see if it is lose . and then tighten it up

Replying to: ivy96 (Nov 14, 2009 12:44 pm) it could be a sensor , but check your rotor(underneath the spark plug cap .it should go on one way just make sure when you take it off put back on the same way see if there any metal shaving in and around the distributor if it is replace the rotor . and (cap for cracks and shaving and corrosion if is is replace it . Fairly cheap to do less than 30 dollars) and spark plug wires to see if there getting fire ( pull a plug wire and then turn the engine over and see if a spark comes from the wire at the end don't start the engine just bump it over ) one plug wire at a time and put it back on after pulling it then go to the next one if no fire replace it also there is a air filter hose if it sucking air anywhere it will cause it to do that ( there's a diaphragm that the air breather goes to and if it the hose is old cracked or has a hole it, it will suck to much air. Cheap to replace . about 5 at a junk yard and about 15 to 20 at parts store . if that doesn't work you will need to get a diagnostic check at a shop they will hook it up on a machine and the rodeo computer will tell them a code then they look the code up and depending on what # comes up . a lot of times you can fix it yourself once you know what it is . the diagnostic usually runs about 50 to 75 dollars. depending on what state you live in hope this helps

Replying to: octavia (Aug 05, 2009 4:24 am) stop by a mechanic shop and ask the to show you how to reset it they probably won't even charge you . it real simple to do , about 2 minutes total time
#41 of 44 Re: 1993 Isuzu Rodeo won't start [rodeofly] by sparkplug7 Nov 19, 2009 (7:33 am)
Replying to: rodeofly (Oct 13, 2009 12:44 pm) sounds like a lose wire from the battery to starter check the red wire on the battery thats the one that goes to the starter , if it is lose tighten it up , and it will start fine
