How does the winter button work in the Isuzu Rodeo?
Starts SUV from a "dead stop" in low gear to prevent wheel spin on slick roads like ice for say when you take off, disengages at 30 mph once engaged automatically.
How do you replace the windshield washer pump in a 1990 sable?
How do you tell when a fuel pump on a 1994 Isuzu Rodeo is bad?
Most vehicles have a "port" where you can connect a fuel pressure gauge. It usually looks a lot like a tire valve stem, but make sure it's the fuel line and not the AC. If you connect the fuel pressure gauge then turn the ignition switch on, the gauge should show normal fuel pressure. If it doesn't, either the pump is bad or the filter is blocked. This model has a habit of breaking the power feed wire where it goes into the tank. Do check to make sure it is intact.
Tools required:
For the removal of the exhaust pipe form the exhaust manifold
17 mm deep well Impact socket
½ in drive 12 in extension for socket and ratchet
½ in drive breaker bad/ratchet w/12 in extension
½ in drive swivel for the socket
For the removal of the exhaust pipe a the flange
Reciprocating saw w/metal cutting blade
For the removal of the starter
Assorted sockets and wrenches for other bolts and nuts
Floor jack and 2 jack stands
Parts needed:
Exhaust Manifold-to-pipe crushable gasket
High Temp caulking for the exhaust pipe flange gasket.
Starter
2 Bolts, nuts and washers for the exhaust pipe flange
Procedure:
Jack the front of the vehicles and place on the jack stands. Take the battery terminal off. Get up under the vehicles and spray WD-40 on the 3 nuts that hold the exhaust pipe on the exhaust manifold and on the 02 sensor that is just below them. Let this sit overnight for breaking purposes. Next day, remove the 02 sensor and using the 17 mm deep well socket, 12 in extension and breaker bar, remove the 3 nuts that were sprayed the night before. This should take about 3 minutes and a little "elbow grease". There is no need in removing the second 02 sensor but it does need to be unplugged at the connector just above it. Next locate the flange about 4 feet aft of the loosened manifold and using the Reciprocating saw, cut the welded on nuts from the back of the flange that is holding the bolts on. Retain the metal gasket for reuse. This should take about 5 minutes. The loose pipe should be free to move a limited space but it will be enough to get the starter out of the hole that it is in. Remove the aluminum shield from below the area where the starter is and remove the 2 bolts holding the starter on. Drop it down where you can remove the cable and small plastic connector next to it. The starter should come out of the confined space that it is in. You will simply go back in reverse order to replace the starter. Ensure that a new gasket is used with the exhaust manifold and 2 good beads of High Temp caulking is used on the rear flange gasket.
I suspect that the different models have varying degrees of difficulty. On 1998 Amigo 2.2, the bottom bolt can only be accessed by somebody with very small hands and the top bolt appears to be inaccessible. Answer #2 (massive pain) does apply to some models.
Answer number 2Remove starter on a 1999 rodeo 3.2 v6 first this is no easy task you will need torches and air tools unless you really have ALOT OF PATIENCE ! Disconnect the + red post on battery. Jack up left side (DRIVER SIDE) secure vehicle with stands or blocking ! Spray the 3 bolts mounting the exhaust pipe to the manifold with a good pentrating oil.Unplug the 2 oxy. sensors on the pipe you'll be removing ( be careful not to break the clips on them) Get a thin sheet of metal cut it to fit up in front of fuel tank so no sparks can get on tank (GET A FULL FIRE EXTINGUISHER)( if you have a fuel leak you have to take care of that first!) after confiming there is no fuel or other combustibles in the area torch off the weld nuts on the rear side of the flanged pipe be careful not to damage flanges take a hammer and drive out bolts. Now move to the front of pipe room is limited i used several 3/8 drive extensions a swivel, 17 mm deep well 6 point socket with a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter hooked up to a 1/2 breaker bar.These nuts are selflocking tight little Bas*#% glow them with the torch be careful that the heat from your flame doesn't burn any wires or hoses! Key here is BABY STEPS heat it turn it heat it turn it after a full turn has been made heat it and hit it with the air rachet. You can now move the pipe down and back far enough to remove starter.Remove the 2 10mm bolts holding on shield. Remove the 2 14mm bolts holding starter to eng.for one you must slide wire loom out of the way to get on it. The starter wires one wire you must push down on top of connector to release it. the other wire is a 13mm i believe. Starter is gonna run about $150.00 Check gasket and flange area at manifold & gasket at flange at rear pipe. I applied red high heat silicone and reused mine. Used new nuts (Couldn't find flanged lockers just used regular mm nuts no washers) and bolts with neversieze. This should be done by a profesional ! LOL!Answer #3 From LC Campbell
How do you remove the starter on a 2001 3.2 v-6 DOC engine in a Rodeo. First of all it's not fun but take it from someone who has accomplished the task that is can be done. Most of the information above (#2) is good stuff, however I'd like to add some service helps.
1) When you look at the starter from under the car you will scratch your head and want to simply give up as it looks like the engineers installed it then put the engine into the car and that was all that was considered.
2) The space to remove the starter through is very small (too small) so you have to remove 3 head pipe bolts with a deep socket 17mm. Then remove all of the bolts on the next joint down pipe at the next flange. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REMOVE THE HEAD PIPEsimply use a clamp like a ratcheting wood "C" type clamp and force the head pipe against the left or Port frame--right against it.
Be sure you have disconnected the battery terminals for safety and this is a must !!
3) Access through the rubber skirting just above the left front wheel the main starter wire by removing the nut. Also through the same access remove the clip type connector which is the ignition feed.
3.5) Some say you have to remove the Oxy sensor...I found that I did not but I had to watch not to strain the wire that goes to it.
4) Remove two long bolts from the under side of the starter (universal will be needed for the inboard bolt).
5) Pull the starter to the front of the vehicle which will disengage it from the mounting and flywheel.
6) I actually turned the starter to allow the removal butt first. Important--as you find the position that will allow you to remove the starter through the narrow hole I marked the radial position of the starter with an indelible pin so as to make it easier to reinstall.
7) The starter is completely serviceable if you can find the parts. Most want you to buy a new starter which is in access of $300.00 from the dealer. I was able to disassemble the Bendix and clean up the armature contactor with a moto tool and small wire brush. I also cleaned up and put silicone grease on the o-rings for re-assembley.
8) You will also need a new crushable gasket for the head pipe to exhaust manifold and you may need a gasket to the next flange down stream...I was able to use some red-silicone because my gasket was not damaged.
Another little trick I used was to use a 10"X1/2" dowel which I had glued some emery paper to and cut to round like the dowel. All of this effort was to make it easier to start the inboard mounting bolt on the starter X 2ea. One could also remove a small bolt on the bell housing cover plate which is in the way to accomplish the same thing.
It's hard but it can be done. lc
How do you replace the windshield washer pump on a 2002 Dodge Durango?
I just
replaced mine in a 98 durango...it its the same it wasn't too bad...have to remove the windshield fluid tank "white plastic tank located on passange side fire wall...pump's in the bottom and it's pretty easy...but that didnt fix my problem...turns out the little plastic "Y" spliter under the "grill" at front of window had somehow broken...with it leaking the pump couldn't build enough pressure to push the fluid onto the window...that fix turned out to be about 1.50 fix....too lazy to switch out pump though so *shrug*
Where are the spark plugs located on a 1997 Isuzu Rodeo?
Plugs are on either rocker cover....there are 3 ign coils on each rocker cover that need to be removed then remove the plugs You will need a 5/8 spark plug socket as well as a long extension to replace them 8mm socket holds the individual coils on
Where is freeze plug in 1996 2.6L Isuzu Rodeo?
There are three plugs on the right side of the engine. You have to take the exhaust manifold out to see them. Im not sure if there are any more.
Did 1996 Isuzu Rodeos come with a remote?
I believe so. I chose the 94 because I liked it a little better than the 96 and mine had a little black square remore for the alarm.
How many spark plugs are on a Isuzu rodeo engine?
This all depends on the engine application in the vehicle. Some manufacturers offer different motors on different models. My bet is that it has either 4 or 6. It is not real hard to tell. Just look carefully for the coil pack that has wires going to each spark plug. In some vehicles like Mitsubishi the plugs are well concealed in the top of the valve cover with cover caps so look carefully.
Where is the PCV valve located on a 1995 Isuzu rodeo 3.2 lr v6?
The PCV will be located somewhere on the engine block. It will have a wire attached to it and it will be on the top of the crankcase, covering the valves.
Where do you pour in transmission fluid in a 1996 Isuzu Rodeo?
Same place you check it.
AnswerIf it's like a 1999 under vehicle on trans oil pan there are 2 bolts one in middle is drain bolt the one in the corner and up in is the fluid check level bolt with vehicle at operating temp. and running remove check bolt and fluid should be at top of bolt hole or close. things are hot and burns are likely this should be done by a shop. a light should come on in vehicle if trans fluid gets low to add fluid you have to pump it in the check level hole very messy and hot! ( there is no dip stick ) and whomever at Isuzu thought to not install one is a DIPSTICK !Where is the transmission dipstick located of an Isuzu axiom 2002?
Its a so called maintanence free trans. I had to get my trans replaced at 68k.
Information on DTC error code PO463 - 2000 Chevrolet Silverado?
Trouble code P0463 means:Fuel level sensor circuit,high input
Where is the water pump in a 1997 Isuzu Rodeo?
You should be able to find a shop manual at your local library with the right info...make copies as they are usually only in the REFERENCE section....good luck:)
It is a neutral switch.
Starters on newer Isuzu will have a safety-switch installed, even for manual transmissions. The switch, inside the transmission or clutch, will disable the starter circuit until the vehicle is in the proper "mode" to engage the starter.
For automatics, this means the starter won't engage unless the transmission is in Park or Neutral.
For manuals, (stick-shifts) this means you must engage the clutch while turning the key. Until you engage the clutch, it will seem like the starter is dead.
You can have a look at the related link for some trouble shooting pointers.
The safety-switch(called a Mode switch for AT) is on the side of the transmission and the clutch switch is on a bracket in front of the clutch pedal. It is activated (switches on) once the clutch pedal is depressed.
How do you replace the alternator on a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo 4wd?
if its anything like a 1998 rodeo,unhook serpentine belt(1 pully wheel is adjustable),and radiator hose, down in bottom left of engine, remove 2 or 3 bolts, unhook ground wire, pull out alternator (this is tricky), after you get new alternator, there is 1 bolt that is very tricky to get back in, its helpful to wedge it with a large screw driver or something, then replace all bolts and ground wire (very important), replace hoses and belt, and you are good to go.
ADD ON; I have done a '98 as well and you don't have to disconnect the radiator hose and go thru the hassle with that. Once unbolted, the alternator can be removed (under the car, not up and out the top) and can be snaked around the radiator hose.
CORRECTION: you must remove the coolant transfer pipe( Radiator Hose) as to be sure not to break this very fragile(expensive) part off of the 2.2l four cyc. the 3.2l is made by Isuzu and 2.2l is made by GM very different engines
Check the servo in the door panel.
How do you loosen an AC belt tensioner on a 1996 Isuzu Rodeo?
I think it is the same as my 98 and you put a wrench on the bolt at the center of the tensioner pulley and push away from the belt.
Why would a 1995 Isuzu Rodeo engine skip and stutter?
It probably needs a tune up. The two main problems that cause this are that either the spark plugs are fouled and need to be replaced, or the bearings in the A/C compressor need to be replaced. Obviously the spark plug option is the least expensive. Isuzu recommends that you use Nippondenso plugs but I've found that Bosch platinum plugs work great.
Why is your 99 Honda Prelude burning oil?
h22a motors are oil burners. most likely its the valve seals, or piston rings. in my case it was the piston rings though. the sleeves on the h22 is way to hard of material and it wears down the rings really fast. try some aftermarket rings if you plan on replacing them
Where is the fuze box for 1999 Isuzu Rodeo?
there are two fuze boxes there is on under the hood and the other is on the side of the dash on the drivers side
Why is fuel coming out of the vacuum canister of my Isuzu Rodeo?
Not knowing what year the vehicle is and assuming you mean the "EVAP charcoal canister", if the vehicle has a carburetor, I would suspect the carb is flooding.
Isuzu rodeo tail lights and dashboard lights went out - changed all fuses and still out why?
Answer: Did you check the light bulbs first. Normally bulbs will burn out quicker than a fuse. If the tail light bulbs are good (don't assume they "look" good), then you will need to take a look at a possible lighting relay issue.
