I've read this post a few times & it didn't occur to me until now, but the "starter-dragging / ticking" issue you speak of could be caused by the "convenience-starting" feature introduced on the 2002 isuzu rodeo's. Basically, with 2002 & up rodeo's, you only need to bump the vehicles ignition & the starter will automatically engage just long enough for the engine to start. Maximum crank time is determined by engine coolant temp. I thought my 2002 had a mind of it's own, until I found this feature described in the '02 owners manual. Maybe you are holding the ignition key to start for too long? - just a guess. G/luck
