2001 Isuzu Rodeo - Page 7 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Well if you have the V6 engine, the belt is recommended to be changed at 80,000 miles. It is an interference engine, which means if the belt breaks you can damage the valves and pistons. If the belt is broken, the engine will not start and may not crank.

check fuses first. dead to all CYLINDERS> or JUST ONE, (, this counts) so , on USA cars, we connect any SCAN tool to the dash 16pin connector and the tool shows DTC errors cranking for 5seconds. it tells you WHY spark is dead. this is how all cars here are checked, 1987 to now. all. all report, (cept 2 jeeps) the DTC causes for no spark at all. CKP bad. CMP bad Ignitor bad. or? others. newer cars , you can get , errors, like, fuse x blown./

check the compliance plates on the door pillars or the door frames or in the engine compartment for the towing capacity.

5 posts and now you post Anonymously, sad that, the engine is weak. ever get a tune up this decade?

• what does NO power mean.
• no electrical power at all (clean battery terminals , charge it)
• no dash lights? warnings all glow key on.
• no cranking ?
• or engine is weak on hills.
• we can not guess this.

no power, does that mean it will not crank? fast?

double posted, back up on post and read.

there are only 3 issues here. 1 weak engine, , even 1st gear I have no engine power. 2: 1st revs normal but wont shift up. 3: the transmission slips. (flares) RPM goes nuts. which one?

--get your complete install cd-ebay -I have a 2001 You'll probably need it $6 mine

Check your engine mounts especially your front and back ones, cause if your engine mounts are worn then that can cause that!

Suggest you get the repair manual for your auto- Request it on google "repair manual for Isuzu ------" For $6 on a CD you'll get the entire 7000 or so pages including how to take apart the door and fix replace the handle- plus anything else that comes up

did you even look first? this is covered in the FSM book want us to look? rodeo , non sport my online has no HL page. so generic

• gain access to head light rear shell
• remove screws or nuts and elect plugs.
• its out.

the gain access varies by car model, sub model and country it has 4 screws, that is clear.

1. open hood, see em?
2. on some cars there is a undert hood plate that comes
3. others, look under car at lamp, bingo.
4. others a fender shell or panel comes off.
5. and last some cars have to have grill off.
6. we just look and find the least path to resistance to object.

or read the FSM. or drive to any body shop and ask for help. most will do it for good will,,,,,,

Battery is too low charge, or bad/dirty connections at battery terminals causing voltage drop, or bad starter. Check the easy components first with a volt meter

Check your Fuel Lines and your Fuel Pump. (I just fixed a problem with my 2001 Isuzu Rodeo Fuel Return Line). Also remember that in Rodeos, as soon as you turn your car key to turn the ignition on (just to make the dashboard lights go on) a certain amount of gasoline gets pumped to your engine in preparation of you turning the key all the way to crank the ignition and start the car. In other words, even before you turn the key all the way to crank the ignition, the Fuel Pump will pump some gasoline through the Fuel Lines to your engine (it will pump the gasoline for about 4 seconds then stop). So when you go to start your Rodeo, remember to turn the key with one continuos motion so that you start the ignition cranking while the gasoline is being actively pumped. In addition, you should never turn the ignition lights on without turning the key all the way to start the engine. Doing so could cause that bit of gasoline that was pumped to start the engine to just sit there and create problems.

Check you EGR valve, remove and clean up all black carbon deposits, it's probably blocked or sticking

what country? in USA try using a scan tool to see errors. lost the operators guide, it seems hard to find too. but here it is. most cars this year ,all those are options. and comes is levels. alarm and or immobilizers. the keyless-entry and antitheft module glows the lamp to tell you the anti-theft indicator lamp to tell you the car will not start, this module in fact controls the starter relay. to read the manual, lost, go here and click and talk to helminc.com http://www.isuzu.com/owners_driving.jsp RTM. read the manual and see what features you have. if doing repairs, see alldata.com login and read the security chapter, its all there to read at any time .

stalls, is the word. here they all, each takes, simple tests.

1. battery weak.,and dischaged for 3 possible reasons, 12.6v id good 13.3-15v good running. not less.
2. A/C compressor seized.
3. ISC/IAC bad on the engine, idle controls totally dead. RPM low.
4. Horrid loss of engine power, if car will not move fast , this be it.

i think that is it.

sounds like there is a posibble electrical short somewhere ,possibly in a thermo fan,as usually are allways on when aircond is on, (air-con compressor could be seized?) also Cheak IAC valve if there is one on the back of the Throttle body here is a link that you may also find helpfull

check selector switch, may wires touch each others.

most likely it would, the least expensive way to try to fix it is a transmission filter and fluid change. the internal solenoids will start to get a varnish on them if not serviced regularly. I don't know how many miles you have been since the last transmission service or how many miles are on your vehicle. you could ad a cleaner into the transmission to see if that would help, they make stuff designed to clean up varnish buildup.
