No start but cranks, where should I check has fuel and compression, no spark?

Coil on plugs? not that. Crank sensor? could be, but check the wires also. They break close to the plug.

My Isuzu bighorn 1998 4JX1 engine has starting

NEED A LITTLE TUNE UP, REPLACE SPARK PLUGS, REPLACE FUEL FILTER,REPLACE AIR FILTER, CLEAN FUEL INJECTORS POUR CAN OF SEAFOAM TO 3/4 TO FULL TANK OF GAS. THAT WILL CLEAN FUEL INJECTORS, REASON CAR HARD TO START WHEN ENGINE COLD YOU HAVE LEAN FUEL MIXTURE. YOU NEED RICH FUEL MIXTURE IF FUEL FILTER STOPPED UP AND FUEL INJECTORS STOPPED UP THAT WILL CAUSE FUEL MIXTURE TO BE TOO LEAN.

Why does my Trooper take 30 minutes to warm up before intermittent power surging and panel lights blinking stops?

Need to know more. Is it petrol or diesel. If diesel is it the 3.1 or 3.0. Isuzu changed engines that year (1998) from 3.1 to 3.0 common rail.

Why wont my isuzu kb 280 dt rev

Sounds like one of two problems, it is not easy to diagnose a problem if you are not standing in front of the engine. 1. You might have a diesel pump issue, when it's cold there is enough pressure until it's warm then pressure drops as it expands. follow the fuel line to see if you have any leaks when it is warm or have the pump tested for pressure. sometimes you might also have a backfire noise due to fuel shortage but his might be very seldom or soft miss fire. 2. also check sensors for co and if you have a newer model, crank or cam sensor. they tend to stop working if they are warm, and if left for a while they start working again till it's warm again. email me if you have not found the issue and I will see if I can help otherwise.

What is wrong when it's cold and my 1998 Trooper powers down with the ABS light, the battery light, and the four wheel drive light blinking

that is called a STALL. the engine was running , but now its STALLED. and all lamps come on that is a Feature of all cars. (modern) the that is the lamp self test. same as when you first turn on the key. the operators guide explains all that........... so the real question is why it stalls. it means the engine is running so bad the EFI brain could not avoid the stall, it tries REAL HARD not to stall. we do tests to find true cause. but usually its this. 1: engine never tuned up. the 60,000mile service POINTS skipped. hark it fails. (99% of all old cars do that, due to skips) 2: LOST spark , see #1 3: lost fueling, see #1 filters. or worse. 4: flooding, over fueling. more tests. got tools? or just want guesses?????

What is wrong with my 1998 Trooper when cold it powers down, three lights blink intermitantly(ABS, Battery, & Four wheel drive), all until it is completely warmed up?

Ask at the dealer here as i have a feeling that this vehicle will have encrypted software if it was made for the europeon market ,could be a component fault in the computer which is my first suspicion ,then it could be a dirty ground or earth cable ,difficult to pinpoint with having vehicle in front of me

I cannot start my isuzu bighorn w/4jx1 engine. we already changed the turbo but still it emits too much smoke in the exhaust and after a while the engine goes wild and we cannot turn it off in the ign

Its a diesel and its running away so do not try to start till you do the following and yes i know i will be amolished for being a cowboy by the other experts but what you do is to make a gasket for the EGR valve from a coca cola can and seal it off if you dont it may run away and blow itself to pieces .If you do this then it run as normal as the older trucks never had these thing fitted and they all run ok in my day ,exactly whats wron i couldnt tell you without my head under the bonnet but do as i say and it run perfectly

1998 isuzu trooper vibration problem under load

I would next check the condition of the engine, transmission and transfer case mounts. The mounts all have rubber inserts in them to absorb vibration and if the rubber starts to deteriorate or drycrack it can cause a vibration, especially under load.
