1999-2004 Isuzu Rodeo: 2002 Isuzu rodeo it will turn over but won’t start

Tue, 23 Jul 2024 05:51:24 -0700

I replaced the fuel pump on a 2002 Isuzu Rodeo, V6 it started after I primed the fuel rail, the vehicle started up now it will turn over but won’t start, fuses check good, fuel pump comes on and vehicle has spark. Battery is new. What could cause it from cranking all the way over? been told the fuel pressure regulator could went out what do others think.

1991-1998 Isuzu Rodeo: RPM's Too High - Isuzu Rodeo

Mon, 14 Dec 2020 01:21:34 -0700

Hi, hopefully someone can help. I have a 97 Isuzu Rodeo. The happy medium for the RPM's while in neutral is right inbetween 0 and 1 RPM's -- at about .5. That's the norm for this car.

What's happening though is when I'm driving the car at a slow pace then pull up to a stop, I'll take it out of gear and put it in neutral, but the RPM's will spike up to about 1.5 - 2.2 and stay there. 2.2 is about the highest. The light turns green, I put it back in gear and then the RPM's settle down once my foots off the clutch and I'm driving.

Pushing the clutch back in though, to change gears or to stop again and be in idle makes the RPM's shoot back up to that high rev range.

It usually subsides and goes back to normal once I've driven for 5 minutes or park somewhere and leave the car off for a few minutes. That seems to make the issue go away, but lately it's even been starting just from a cold start and still reving high even after turning the car on and off a few times and not even going anywhere.

The check engine light is on too, which I've had addressed and fixed two separate times in the last few years. Hopefully someone has some insight. I've taken it to the mechanic twice, but of course once I got there the car was not acting up and the RPM's were fine, and so they couldn't figure it out.

1991-1998 Isuzu Rodeo: Driver window and power locks not working

Thu, 14 Mar 2019 08:25:14 -0700

98 Isuzu rodeo power window works sometimes, when not working the switch makes a buzzing sound. It’s only the driver side window. All other windows work all the time. Also the power door lock works sometimes and makes a buzzing sound when not working.

Replaced the master control switch and the driver side window does the same and now power lock button just makes a clicking sound. What should I try next.

1999-2004 Isuzu Rodeo: Check Engine Code1239: Shows #6 Fuel Injector Short / Fuel Pump

Mon, 20 May 2019 21:54:37 -0700

On a 2004 Isuzu Rodeo - Direct Injection Engine shows 50% Power Loss and the Check Engine Code1239: Shows #6 Fuel Injector Short AND Fuel Pump (High Pressure) problem. I have replaced the Injector and it still shows 50% Power Loss with #6 Cylinder continually missing. Can a High Pressure Fuel Pump cause a missing #6 Cylinder? I’ve already had two compression tests done (125-130 pounds) but still nothing??? I hate to spend 500-900 dollars on a Fuel Pump and it still does the same thing.

Thanks in advance.
