Isuzu - Rodeo :: 2002 - Water Flow Sound From Dash While Turning / Stopping?

I am hearing a water flow sound under the right side of the dash when I turn corners or stop. It started when the radiator cracked. I have replaced the radiator and water pump. I have filled the radiator with the front of the SUV up and the engine running. Also tried jacking the rear of the SUV up. I have flushed the heater core. And re connected the hoses bleed air at the top of the hoses from the heater core, the return from the water pump to the radiator, and at the radiator to the water pump. Yesterday I pulled the dash out and found the heater core to be more center of the dash behind the climate control. The sound seems to be coming from more right behind the glove box. Any suggestions before I reassemble the dash. I have removed and cleaned the lower half of the ac coil/condenser box. There was no fluid in it and the drain line was not plugged.

Rodeo :: 2001 Isuzu Stutters Then Check Trans And Cruise Control Lights Come On

Just started two days ago... My '01 Rodeo stutters and then the Check Trans and Cruise Control Lights come on and go out about 10 seconds later.

It seems like it only happens when at lower speeds between 10-30 Mph and when first starting out on a drive.

Isuzu - Rodeo :: 1996 - Engine / Battery / Brake And Oil Lights Flash On And Off When Accelerate

My new battery was draining down overnight. Thinking it wasn't charging back up properly I replaced what I'm sure was the original alternator. Now sometimes the engine lights (battery,brake & oil) flash on and off when I accelerate. So far the battery hasn't gone dead again.I also had an oil change. They put 5.7qts in the 6 cylinder engine.

Isuzu - Rodeo :: 2002 - Automatic Over Rev Before Shifting

My 02 Isuzu Rodeo will over rev before shifting into 3rd. The problem is intermittent and only happens when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. Shifting is smooth in all other gears. The car will not accelerate while the motor is revving between gears. The fluid was recently replaced.

Rodeo :: 2000 Isuzu 3.2L Stalled After Hitting Puddle?

My Rodeo stalled after hitting a nice sized rain puddle on Friday. It was mainly on the passenger side. This happened to me about 10 months ago and I had it towed to a repair center and was told it was the timing belt. Few days and $600 later i got vehicle back. Ran fine till this puddle. Is it possible this could be the timing belt again? All the research I have done has not said this was an option. I need diagnosing this problem. The vehicle has been sitting for a few days and will crank but not turn over.

Rodeo :: 1999 Isuzu V6 - Loud Snap When Turning Right

1999 Isuzu Rodeo V6 3.2L MT 263,500 miles 2WD

I often, but not always, hear a loud "snap" when turning left, usually when executing a 90 degree turn.

It's been happening over the past few weeks. Seems to be coming from mid-vehicle but hard to be sure from the driver's seat.

No other symptoms. No vibration, no steering wheel shake, no noise while driving. I don't feel anything when I hear it.

I originally thought it may be a U-joint, but now that I found it happens only when turning left, that seems less likely?

It's a loud snap, could it be an engine or transmission mount?

Gasoline - Isuzu - Starters :: 1998 Rodeo Always Starts On Second Try

I've got a question about my 1998 Isuzu Rodeo LS. I've owned it for about a year and a half and I haven't had any complaints so far. However, about six months ago (you can see how quick I am to get on these things!) the car developed this little quirk. Whenever I get in the car and turn the key the car will try to start up but fails about half the time. It always starts on the second try but only sometimes on the first try. It seems to start easier right after I've filled up and is noticeably worse when I'm close to empty.

Rodeo :: 1999 Isuzu Won't Start After Long Distance Driving

I have a 99 Isuzu Rodeo V6 - Auto Trans. The car operates fine, however when driving long distances - say 150 - 200 miles if I stop and try to restart within 5 minutes it will not start. It will attempt a start but choke out - and sometimes not even that - it just has the low click of the starter. Temp. gauge registers normal - not sure if it's an overheating issue - but nothing indicates that. Car will eventually restart (or at least has to date) after a 15-20 minute rest period. I had some issues early last year - had the EGR valve replaced, thought that had solved it..

Isuzu - Rodeo :: 2000 - Clicking / Tapping Noise From Engine

I just recently acquired a 2000 Isuzu rodeo. The last owner said their girlfriend drove it with low oil, and it damaged the engine. On starting the car, there is a somewhat loud clicking/tapping noise from the engine. It speeds up if you step on the gas, and seemed to be louder with the camshaft cover off. I believe it to be an issue with a valve or cam or some other part in the head, but the person I am working ont his car with thinks the problem lies in the lower end, and wants to rebuild that.

Isuzu - Rodeo :: 1999 - Shaking And Slipping In Front When Braking?

Recently I replaced my front rotors, brake pads, bearings (inner, outer, seals, races).....all on the front. I replaced these d/t the fact that the shop told me my rotors were warped (plus the pads were worn and it's recommended that you replace the bearings at 60,000).

When braking the vehicle starts shaking and it feels like the brakes slip on and off when gripping the rotors. I thought replacing the rotors would solve this(since the old ones were warped), but it hasn't. It still does this even though all of the above mentioned are new......and I had a shop look over my work after replacing all of this and it was fine.

Neither place I've had my brakes looked at noticed any other problems....so could it be something outside of the brakes, perhaps dealing with the wheel? I do not feel any shaking when driving, even at high speeds....only when braking.

Isuzu - Rodeo :: 2000 - AC Blow Cold Then Warm On Sunny Day

I have a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo with 230,000 miles. The A/C is cold when first turned on after start up, warm or cold engine. After about 5-8 minutes running on a sunny day, driving or at a stop, it starts blowing warm. If I shut the A/C off and leave it off for 30-45 seconds, it will blow cold again. On an overcast day it will blow cold for 15 minutes or more.

Rodeo :: 1997 2WD - Dash Warning Lights Lit Up And Electrical System Not Charging

1997 3.2 2WD 299,000 miles original alternator

3 times in the last month when I start up first thing in the morning dash warning lights are lit up and the electrical system is not charging. AC doesn't work and windows operate very slowly. A simple rev of the engine has resolved the problem. However, the belt is very tight (and I mean very) and there is no indication of it slipping.

This morning, a rev didn't solve the problem. I only work a few miles from home and my mechanic is also very close so I just figured to head that direction. About 1/4 mile later charging kicked in and everything worked just fine.

I hate Intermittent electrical problems Where to start.
