2001 Isuzu Rodeo 4WD. CHeck Engine light on and

2001 Isuzu Rodeo 4WD. CHeck Engine light on and blinking. Took to Mechanic who had it a week and then called said he couldn't figure out. Its running fine, good power etc. But its getting poor mileage recently. I noticed a decline in milage a few months ago, bit the check engine light was not on. I'd not replaced the plugs since car was new, and it has 110,000 miles. So i replaced, with new platinum good plugs. It didn't seem to help mileage or change performance. A couple weeks later the check engine light started blinking, and hasn't stopped. (Note: old plugs were clean with good even brown, no sign of carbon, fouling or oil burn or rich running. The looked good enough to put back in!) My shop couldn't figure it out. The codes I get with my scanner are: P1311 P1312 P0300 and one that says P0300 p/d. What do you think?

After market spark plugs could be the problem.
Reinstall the old plugs and see if that fixes it.
This vehicle has an ion sensing ignition system and is real sensitive to the proper spark plugs. I would get the proper plugs from the dealer if the old ones work.
The codes P1311 and P1312 are ion sensing codes.

    I second that. Troopers, Rodeos and even Axioms are notorious for this problem. Dont try to save money on spark plugs or your engine will have multiple codes.

2001 Isuzu Rodeo wont start and alarm light blinks as soon as you open the door and if i leave the key open check engine comes on and blinks every seven to ten minutes

need to check for fault codes for the engine and the security system. the problem may be connected somehow, but it sounds as if you may have multiple problems.

The light for my tires has been blinking mymechanic tried to reset but will not turn off. My 4wd light is also on and does not work. I was able to turn it on but after I turned off the check 4 wd is on....

First open drivers door and look for tire pressure specs then check all the tires pressures and inflate to the specs on door jam.This should make the tire light off. As for the 4wd light i would think the 4wd indicator light switch is faulty or has a bad connection or ground.

Cruise control & check trammission light comes on my 2001 Rodeo

I had that problem too and the issue was a loose wire connecting the engine control modude to the crankshaft sensor switch. The engine control module does not sense where the crankshaft position is when the wire moves, and that causes things to go snaky, such as the transmission and cruise lights coming on. This issue took a good mechanic in Syracuse one and a half weeks to find. Total cost was $425.00,$395.00 for labour, and $.99 for the new wire. Good luck!
