Isuzu Rodeo Car Repair Questions and Answers

Question: 2000 Isuzu Rodeo Question 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 101480 miles while driving the check engine light come on, what would cause that to happen?

Answer: Usually it mean you need a o2 sensor ,but it could also mean a number of other things . If I were you I would go to a local auto parts store and have them check the codes (For Free) on the vehicle and they should be able to tell you exactly what it is .
 



Question: 1999 Isuzu Rodeo Question 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic I have been told that lots of time when the belt breaks on this rodeo that sometime it will knock or break the crank sensor.Could anyone tell me where this sensor is???

Answer:
Hi there , CPI as per pic.


Question: 1997 Isuzu Rodeo Question 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 200000 miles Yes recently my car started bogging down while accelerating. When I was driving to work it would take forever to accelerate up to 50 miles an hour, and will not go over 50 miles an hour no matter how hard i press the gas petal. Also the harder you press the gas petal the louder the noise will get, and seems like engine is working too hard. I just changed the spark plugs and distributor cap, that didnt help. Next plan of attack is fuel pump. But i dont want to spend the money on that if thats not the problem. Any suggestions?

Answer:
First thing you should check is you catalytic convertor, I suggest taking it to a respectable muffler shop.


Question: 2000 Isuzu Rodeo Question 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 120,000 miles, how to change transmission fluid in 2000 Rodeo?

Answer: If no drain plug on pan, the Transmission pan will have to be removed , replace the filter and the pan gasket. If the Trans requires a full service (you cant drain all the old oil just by taking of the pan) See your Trans specialist.



Question:
1992 Isuzu Rodeo Question 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 165000 miles, I needed to know what it should cost ( I am in NC) to have the valve cover gaskets replaced. They charged my "English as a second language- Japanese Wife" 252.48 to replace both side... so the bombs seemed to be dropping on me from North Carolina...is the price fair and if not...what should I do. Thank you for your time.
HM2 (FMF) Chris Hansen, US Navy Corpsman

Answer:
The valve cover gaskets will cost about 30-40 bucks for the pair and the job will last about 1 hour to an hour and half minutes. I would say for the whole job it would be no more then 200 bucks.


Question: 2005 Izusu Rodeo Question 6 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic 80000 miles I was recently in a front end collision (minor fender bender) and following the repair, the fuse controlling the turning signals and reverse lights blows whenever I turn the car on. If I have the car in neutral it's ok, everything works fine. As soon as I put it in park, drive, or reverse, the fuse blows. After the accident and before the repair, everything was fully functional. The mechanic says it's not from anything he touched and I know he didn't work on the transmission at all. He only had to do some body work and replace the headlight unit on the front driver's side. Anybody have any ideas?

Answer:
Sounds like the wiring to the turn signal is where I would first start looking. I would remove the light assembly he installed and look closely at the wiring to make sure nothing got pinched.



Question: 1995 Izusu Rodeo Question 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 210,000 miles, No matter what I am doing the oil pressure never is above 30 and when the truck is idling it is almost at 0 what could this be from?

Answer:
These car gauges are often very inaccurate. Get a test done with a master gauge, this will give a true indication as to the engine oil pressure. if ok, then start fault finding the electrics of the sender system.



Question:
1991 Izusu Rodeo Question 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 147000 miles When I turn on my right turn signal, 90% of the time all I get is a buzzing noise coming from somewhere inside the steering column/fuse box area. The blinkers do not turn on. I checked the bulbs, they are fine. I checked the fuse, it also is fine. The left turn signal works. So do the hazard lights. What do you recommend?

Answer: Check the flasher relay at left side of dash above the kick panel.
 



Question:
1999 Izusu Rodeo Question 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 94782 miles. My check engine light has been coming on-will stay on for a day or two or three at the most and then go off for a while. This started in December, happened once-happened again in February. This month it has been on more than off so I finally went to have the codes checked. The Tech pulled code: P0 0401 EGR Flow insufficient Further diagnostics are needed. (OUCH!!!) Any suggestions before I open Pandora's box and my bank account? Where should I start? Like many people, I am paycheck to paycheck and will need to budget for any major expenses. I am not mechanically inclined, but do know several people who are. I have a couple of road trips planned soon, 700-1000 miles each. Other than fuel economy am I going to hurt anything by not having this fixed right away?

Answer:
Start by checking the EGR could be all clogged-up with carbon and inspect its passages or might not be coming On when needed.


Question: 1994 Izusu Rodeo Question 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 130000 miles I have a 1994 Isuzu Rodeo that makes a loud squeaking sound when I start it. I just had the engine rebuilt and the mechanic told me that it needed a new fan belt bracket. I checked with the local junkyards and they didn't exactly know what I was talking about. Is fan belt bracket the correct term? And also if I need a new bracket would I also need a new pulley?

Answer: You best go back to the mechanic that did the original job and get him to point out exactly what is required. pulleys normally don't give any problems.



Question: 1998 Isuzu Rodeo Question 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 113,000 miles. just had my power steering pump replaced, now my idle is between 1600-1900 rpm. any thoughts?

Answer:
Too fast an idle speed. If an engine without computerized idle speed control is idling too fast and refuses to come down to a normal idle speed despite your best efforts to back off the carburetor idle speed screw or air bypass adjustment screw (fuel injection), air is getting past the throttle somewhere. Common leak paths include the carburetor and throttle body gaskets, carburetor insulator spacers, intake manifold gaskets, and of course, any of the engine's vacuum fittings, hoses and accessories. It is even possible that leaky O-rings around the fuel injectors are allowing air to leak past the seals. Another overlooked item can be a worn throttle shaft and a defective idle speed speed control valve/motor stuck in the extended (high idle speed) position.



Question:
1998 Isuzu Rodeo Question 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 154000 miles, I was wondering if you could show me a picture or tell me where the drain plug is for a 1998 Isuzu rodeo I am changing the oil

Answer: Its on the bottom of the engine oil pan.
