It will slip when trying to take off. Almost like its in neutral and then someone throws it in gear with the gas pedal pressed down. If empty it might just act like its in neutral in any gear.

The most obvious cause for a hard pedal is simply not enough vacuum. Check the brake power booster by pumping on the brake pedal while the car isn't running. Continue pumping until you've "bled off" the vacuum from the booster. Hold the pedal down while you start the car. The pedal should go down a bit more beneath your foot. If it doesn't, then you should examine the connection between the vacuum hose of the brake power and the engine's vacuum. Replace the brake power booster if the connection's fine, which would fix the hard brake pedal problem. It may be your calipers need replaced. Check them for signs of wear. Look at the metal spring where the brake pads sit. Apply tension to the pad and see whether you hear a pop. If you do, the brake pad is moving too much on the bracket. Replace the caliper. This could help the hard brake pedal.

The fuel pump is goign bad, overheatign the relay, is my guess.

possibally a short and the most common area to cop a hard life is if it has a trailer plug check the condition of the wires and that they are secured properly . if ever thing is ok there check the rear tail light bulbs for defects as well. but your lookin for a short in the system so if you have altered any thing in the electrical system a quick check over that as well. rear earthing to tail lights should be checked as well

you could swap one of the suspected injectors to one of the operating cylinders and see if the miss chances cylinder. are the clinders that are missing all on one bank or spread over the engine. also check that the injector electrical connectors are all the way home and clipped in . that should give you a bit of a start any how

I had it repaired: one of my sensors needed to be replaced. No more light!

There are non,you can't tell if a computer is acting up,have to look at all data & follow the codes you have & do the required testing to find something wrong,causing a customer complaint or vehicle issue Explain why you ask Computers seldom fail

If you have a spare key....Try that. If Ignition switch still will not turn, Move your steering wheel back and forth at the same time turning your ignition switch.....If that don't work....Then it sounds like your tumblers are bad....Put in a new ignition switch. I hope this helps you.

there are two vehicle speed sensors on the 2000 rodeo 4x4. One on the left side of the transmission case and one on the right side of the transfer case, the one that located on the transfer case

Best time to check your transmission fluid is....let it sit over night so it has time to cool down. In the morning start it up...Let it run for about 6 or 7....To warm up transmission fluid temp. your transmission fluid temp should be about 100 to 125. you have to craw under your rodeo to your transmission plug...not your drain plug.....Take your plug out, If fluid drips, More then likely you don't need fluid....but use your fluid tube to add a little in...If it start to run back out, Your fluid level is good.

Hello Joe. please say what works and does not.? and on what road surface you are on, pavement, dirt, ice? what? and what does winter mode mean. tell actual shift modes. and what transmission options you have. no do not rebuild anything, first is diagnosis. never guess. or go broke fast,

• 130-hp, 2.2-liter I-4 (regular gas)
• 205-hp, 3.2-liter V-6 (regular gas)

• Transmissions:
• 5-speed manual w/OD
• 4-speed automatic w/OD

4x2 4x4 limited slip diff option? Mode select transmission? option 4x4 this is part time 4wd and is not AWD , all wheel drive. as such it is not for dry (ice-less) pavement and is for offroad. so what surface are you driving on. 1st. then in what mode. are you messing up and using 4x4 on dry pavement see here for what happens doing it wrong. http://www.rubicon-trail.com/4WD101/driveline-bind.html if you wind it up. the gear shift can lock up. the solution is 2 ways. drive to dirt shoulder and move slow and shift back to 2WD. or if can't do that. (no grass , ice, no dirt) jack up a front tire. and do same. this unwinds the system. then shift to 2wd. some rare cars have partime system with a hidding slip clutch that prevents wind up. this car dont. nor does car have an AWD center differential. good luck.

It's under the hood. Looks like this: http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/shop_years/isuzu-rodeo-vapor-canister-2000.html

idle speed control not working or idle too low.if all good check fuel pressure.if it been a while change fuel filter.

The cam pulleys turn 3 or more turns to one of the camshaft. You need to find someone that is experienced on this vehicle. Just aligning marks does not mean its in sync.

My Rodeo did that and we found that the O-ring that seals where the fuel pump sit's in the tank was shot and leaking. To fix you have to run your tank low and find a pit where you can drop the tank and remove the fuel pump and install a $.50 O-ring......Gary Arnold
