I just had the EGR valve replaced due to code P0401 but did not have the passages to the manifold, etc, cleaned. Since replacing EGR I have gotten the code twice more & was wondering the whine could be because the egr passages are clogged, or if I need to look elsewhere, trans, drive train? ]]> Rodeo/Passport johnjsa http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=970712 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=970642&goto=newpost Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:13:56 GMT any one want to buy it ? 95.5 rodeo 3.2 5 speed 129 k 4 WHEEL DRIVE WORKS GREAT has the famous o ring leak / and needs new outer cv boots possiblly a clogged cat. located in Iowa what ya all want to pay for it.

I have a 02 Isuzu Rodeo LS 3.2L v6 4x4. I have used the search button and read a few others thread but havent been able to get any info that would cure my problem.. I have had multiple problems the past few months. My car would run then stall so i had the EGR valve changed and solved that issue.. Next I started having (starter) problems so i examined my battery it was relatively pretty new within 2 months battery was good and turned out to be starter so replaced that.. Starts fine now.. Other problem I am having is on cold start when I accellerate it feels like it doesnt wanna move its almost like it has no balls very sluggish.. The check enguine light was coming on so i brought it to my buddy who ran a tester. And results told me that it was the mass air flow sensor and the throttle position sensor. I have successfully replaced both of those but hasnt done any better.. If anyone has any solutions or recomendations I am open to try.. thanks in advance. Hello all..

1: it needs engine mounts BAD, wen you watch it run it shakes like CRAZY inside the engine bay and i wanted to know how hard though's would be to change if i wanted to do it myself.

2: is that im not sure if it needs a clutch or not, but what is the normal "bite point" for a rodeo clutch? mine seems to be right up at the very front of the pedal, now the reason im not sure if it needs a clutch or not is because i can engage a gear from that bite point, i dont need to put it all the way to the floor, and two is that.... the reason i think the clutch might be bad is... the car won't move even a little bit unless im with in like MM's of the bite point, yet, i can shift with out hard using any of the clutch, thous my confusion, the clutch is sending me mixed signals :banghead: lol

I have a 2002 Isuzu Rodeo and felt it was time to change the front shocks. The rubber bushing on the lower part of the shock will not let go of the bolt. I've soaked it for hours with PB Blaster, Kroil, and mouse milk. Hammering only ended up bending the opposite flange. I broke a 'c' clamp. I can rotate the bolt which also rotates the bushing. Is there anything else I can do, or do I admit defeat and take it to my mechanic? ]]> Rodeo/Passport mobzs http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=969682 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=969638&goto=newpost Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:29:18 GMT First of all, thank you to anyone who can share a little of their wisdom with me. I have worked in the auto industry for 5 years, and am very familiar with late model domestics, but this vehicle (95 Rodeo 2wd V6) is a little foreign to me. I just picked it up last week, and it runs, shifts, and drives great. It has 242k miles on it!!! (I only paid 1k, no body damage)

Anyway, I have a few minor issues I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen before:

1. Power locks - Passenger Front lock opens automatically but won't close
2. Dash lights - Is there a bulb behind the heater and a/c controls? How to access?
3. Spare Tire Carrier - latch seems to be seized? Lever will not release it, and seems to just sort of slide off the part where it contacts the latch release
4. Washer Fluid - bad pump motor?
5. Cupholder - I have read there is an aftermarket solution, which replaces the ashtray...anyone know where to get these?
6. Squeak - seems to be a squeak in the front somewhere, but I don't notice it from the exterior when I bounce the car up and down...
7. Trans - don't really have a problem here, but it doesn't seem to like shifting between 1st and 2nd, sometimes its a bit delayed and then clunky. Is this normal?

Once again, thank you to anyone who has dealt with any of these issues before.

The interesting thing is, today I was annoyed enough to just drive down my street in reverse (no knock in reverse) and the knock lessened in sound, and also only occurs now at 2500 rpm in drive. One last part of the scenario, whenever I shut off the engine at idle(no knock) there is one knock, as if something is falling. So is this rod knock or not? Also why has it started to occur at a higher rpm and not nearly as loud?

I replaced it and can't seem to understand why or how the clutch or throwout bearing works. How is it that the throwout bearing pulls on the pressure plate and not push on it?

The slave cylinder pushed on the arm which pulls the throwout bearing away from the pressure plate. Am I seeing or understanding this correctly? All the clutches I have dealt with push on the pressure plate.

Also what keeps the throwout bearing in the pressure plate? Mine popped out and now will not stay connected.

I have a bead on a '99 Honduzu Passdeo, V6/5 spd, with 92k on the odometer. I searched, and found that the stick has a long throw. I can handle that(drove dump trucks for awhile), plus I like to control the engine speed on my own. I had an auto once, and I didn't like the fact that you had to wait for the slow downshift when you had to giddyup. HOWEVER, I dunno how tough the manual trans is in these things.

The car runs fine, no rough idle. It just dies sometimes when I stop and idle. The car doesn't do this until I drive for 15 minutes or so. I cleaned out the throttle body and replaced the air filter but that didn't help, so I took it to the mechanic and they said it could be the crank shaft position sensor. Have you guys heard of this before. I also have the fuel sending unit problem could that have anything to do with it? Any input would be greatly appreciated Thanks.
