You may want to take a hard look at your Coolant Temperature Sensor.
thank you! I will check it out!
The coolant teperature sensor is not hard to replace. It simply unscrews once you have disconnected the electrical connector. Where exactly, it is located, depends on which engine your trooper is equipped with.
As for the battery theory, are we talking about an engine that cranks slowly? or are we talking about an engine that cranks OK but just takes a long time to start and run on its own? (By "cranks" I mean how the STARTER turns the engine.) If it is cranking slow, then YES, the battery could be the problem. If is cranks normally, then the coolant temperature sensor is a likely cause for it to take a long time to start. A coolant temperature sensor will usually also cause the engine to smoke black out the exhaust once it starts. The black smoke will usually clear up after the engine has warmed up a bit.

Thank you! Will try this morning...
one more question... where is the coolant temperature sensor located in the 90 isuzu?
could it be the battery as well? I think I will give checking the battery a try first as I am reading that changing the coolant temperature sensor is a difficult task. what do you think dttech?
