they have alot of diagrams too.
There is no pattern to this that I can discern. Sometimes it runs for three or four months before it does it. Sometimes it's a day. Sometimes it won't start for a week or more, and other times it will start back up in a few minutes. It does it in dry weather and wet. It does it when it's hot and when it's cold.
I have replaced all of the relays and the coil.
Anyone have any idea where to look next?

any suggestions?

Thanks

Hope mine keeps going. Body and interior looks great, frame and undercarriage looks like hell from the salt they insist on using in upstate NY.
Gene :confuse:
Apparently the motor used up the entire 5 qts of oil and damaged the crankshaft and barrings. My truck ran nice even idled with a slight knocking until accelerated it was a loud knocking... I found a mechanic who charged me in Miami,FL $3000.00 to completely overhaul my motor with all new parts..
The truck in running great now better than new...
Good Luck, Now I started to use Lukas Oil and check the oil every time I put Gas.

Bel Air Car Guy
First, I was told that I need to replace my serpentine belt. Is the 74,000 mile mark a common point in time for replacing this belt, and what would be a reasonable price to pay an auto mechanic to replace this?
Secondly, my car is using up oil. However, there is absolutely no leaking anywhere, nor is there blue smoke coming from my car as if it’s burning oil. Are there any common known issues of this type associated with the Trooper, and what could it be? Approximately what would it cost to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance.
Note on this. Last year at rotation time on some Firestone tires I was quoted $140 to replace the Serpentine belt. I picked one up later for around $30 at Advance or Autozone. They can even print out the belt layout for you.
A lot of Troopers will burn a quart every 1500 to 3000 miles. Not a problem and probably not much you can do to change that. Just check the oil level when you fill up so you don't run low and burn up the engine. My '00 might burn a quart every 2000-2500 miles...not a problem.
However, the low oil may be an issue. After the oil light went on, I stopped at the dealership where I purchased my car, and it was down 4 quarts since the last oil change, which was about 2,000 miles ago. But, there is no burning smell, no smoke, no leaking underneath, and no residue coming out of the exhaust pipe.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Thanks, and I am glad i found this site.
So, if you are having the same problems, I hope the above helps.
have you tried RXP ? It is a fuel additive that helps the engine burn hydrocarbons more completely.
I use it in EVERY vehicle I own and have NEVER had an emissions test failure. The CA standards are more strict than TX but it should help.
I buy mine at Autozone.
(I do not sell, or own stock or in any way benefit financially from anyone using this product)
my Isuzu 1994 Trooper ,the (Check Trans.)light is flashing time to time and when this light is flashing there's no automatic shifting and the speed is gone please help.
thanks.
I have another issue that I’d appreciate any feedback on. My Trooper, like many others in this forum, has been sucking oil. In addition, I hear kind of a hollow, metal grinding type sound when my car is accelerating, and then it goes away when the car is done shifting gears. A mechanic told me that it was a PCV Valve issue, and that the valve was sticking open, causing the car to use more oil than normal. He pulled the PCV Valve, cleaned it up with some spray, and replaced the valve. The sound has gotten better, but is still there, and it is still using oil, making me think that the PCV Valve is still partially stuck open.
My question is should I go buy and replace the PCV Valve myself? It looked fairly easy (pull the vacuum hose, and pull out the PCV Valve), and would only cost about $6 for the PCV Valve.
Does the diagnosis from the mechanic sound plausible, and is the PCV Valve as easy to replace as it looks.
Thanks in advance!
Nope, can't think what that could be. This has an outside chance of being related to the air induction stuff described below. I have noticed a sound which I kink of relate to this when accelerating but would not describe as 'grindin'. Maybe more of a whooosh or hum:
http://www.autoworld.com/news/isuzu/2000trooper.htm
Of particular interest is the engine's sophisticated induction system. The variable air-intake system employs a butterfly valve that effectively lengthens or shortens the length of the intake track depending on the operating speed of the engine. Below 3600 rpm the valve closes. effectively lengthening the intake track. The longer track increases the volume of air, providing high torque at low and intermediate speeds. As engine speed increases over 3600 rpm, the solenoid switch turns off, shortening the port thereby increasing volumetric efficiency and providing high torque at high engine speeds
Sorry I am not able to add any insight to what your problem might be...still dealing with finding answer.
Thanks.
thanks,
Please anyone advise
Thanks
i have a 1991 Isuzu trooper
last night it was driving fine, at a red light i stopped when i accelerated it felt like the emergency brake was on. i stopped and put in park and shut it off.afeter about 15 minutes i started it and it drove fine for about 10 minutes i slowed down and it did it again..this happenbed a few times.
the next day i checked my tranny fluid ..LOWi had my tranny flushed and new oil put in about 9 months agao..why low??no leaks??
