again there are two, engine, 3.2 one is SOHC and other is DOHC. 2 chapters in the FSM. to match each. again, alldata.com , log in and read nicely triple posted.

the shifter lever is stuck? or the lever move to drive but car dont move. its on ramps so the parking pawl in tranny is not jammed. does the side of transmission, selector move correctly with console lever action. is this a park lock out feature failure. or is the tranny ACTUALLY stuck in park with its lever in DRIVE lever on side of trans , no car?

I was having this same problem for a long time, I figured out that if I would disconnect the harness that's in the line then plug it back in that would make the power loss go away, then it started happening about every 4 starts and when I turned on the A/C or defrost, i read about the whole electrical issues and then I got frustrated and was ready to trade mine in. Since I refused to hire a mechanic and me being the typical stubborn woman....LOL, I started changing all the sensors, then I noticed the battery connectors weren't making good contact, so I changed the battery connectors, the engine lihjyt went out and i haven't had a problem yet, I can run the a/c and this thing runs like brand new now; I guess with the corrosion in the wires and on the connectors it wasn't getting the right amount of voltage. Sorry i was long winded but I was hoping this would help people in the future........ Jessica.

shift solenoid may be stuck

I would be first checking that the correct bulbs are fitted to the light sockets. If the socket has a single contact and a duel contact bulb has been fitted then the fuses will continually blow as there is a dead short across the contacts .; Check for cut /damaged wires at the light assemblies as if there has been no body damage or any add ons done that require screwing or drilling then the damage to the wiring will be remote. The rule is if single contact socket then single contact bulb and if duel contact socket then duel contact bulb.

park lockout, is active. ( and is malfunctioning) read the gove box opr. guild, see page on starting car see page on how to by pass the park lockout feature . do that until you fix the bad park lockout , circuits.

You may have a failure, have your local mechanic check the diagnostic codes and have them repaired

old posts, fun day, flushing the 2016 , crappper,. the CIGAR means you wont a prize, call Isuzu now for prize. You get the door prize, and and endless topic here, and usually never answered. Due to "NO PHOTOS OF IT" try this , google it, and find yours then post the photo of your lamp here, now my wild and useless guess. vertical cigar, with hash marks, is engine overheated.

6th post, now , and leaking is the correct word. but not one time did you name the major part of car that leaks. where are you in car? there are many SERVOS. (wiki Servo)

1. 4 in the HVAC heater./ a/c system.
2. many in the transmission automatic.
3. and many in the Engine controls (lots

Drop the pan and the filter is inside. No oil drain plug. This is a very messy job!

most likely the coil pack , have the OBD codes read to confirm which sensors/switch(s) are at fault

in/out ok you mean the wheel bearing right?> and like all such bearings, its 0.002" max. at hub , more at tire rim. (archemedies rules never revoked)

which engine? we can not guess engines, here, not ever. here is the line up, huge. huh?

• 2.2 L X22XE I4 (gasoline)
• 2.2 L Z22XE I4 (gasoline)
• 2.2 L X22DTH I4 (diesel)
• 3.2 L 6VD1 V6 (gasoline)
• 3.5 L 6VE1W V6 (gasoline)

if in the USA< are you? the www is big the world is big. and open hood ,and look up see EPA sticker, it has ENGINE type stated there clearly, that is 1st.

most likely a blocked crank case vent pipe , rocker cover vent pipe

please do ask a question, we wait.

use a voltmeter. blinkers right, turn signals, turn signal indicators. just one of 4 that means the bulb is bad. or the wires to it are bad.] looking is only the 1st step use a voltmeter, it will not lie to you. use it. they cost $10-20 bucks at walfart. use that and see the 12vdc pulsing on the 2 pins. if not back up on the wires. and where it begins to have the 0v >>12v >>>0v pulse is the point of the break. easy huh? on many cheaper cars the ground to the lamp must be good. by cheap i mean they use the fender metal as ground. some have the lamp ground wire attached to the fender, so all that must be good. only a real FSM goes to that level of details shows the harness ground routing... but i ignore all that and let my meter prove the facts.

great question, im ane ECU spirt. )EFI. what country, nobody ever says, that but gee, the OBD varies buy COUNTRY! Ill pretend USA. /Canada. In the USA the car has OBD2. and you need a scan tool that works on 2002 cars. what engine, some engines have different ECU. radical differ.. they had like 3 engines here, other countries 9. the scan tools connects to the 16pin, OBD2 connector at dash. i the car is Can-bus. it needs a can-bus tool, all new tools work on canbus but old ones never do. (i have them back to 1995 and know this) NON comms and tool is ok, not wrong tool . diagnosis.

1. Pin 16 not at 12vdc, (blown fuse)
2. ECU dead, 99% of time blown fuse to EFI. test the fuses to all EFI parts. alldata.com wiring shows that.
3. bad wiring to the DCL connector (rare) or from there to ECU
4. yes, some crappy tools have no ground on both pin 4 and 5, buy a tool that has 2 pins there. OR it will fail on some cars. seen many POS ELM327 tools that do this horror, get a tool called, INNOVA 3160 and stop guessing, this tool works on all cars.
5. barrow, rent , or buy or ask any sharp mech top scan car , his tool works.
6. Fuses that look ok can IN FACT be bad, we never assume they ar good we test them. using either method, OHMS or 12vdc on both sides, is better. see? only the voltage matters, all else punts.
7. The 3.3l communicates on pin 1 and 2..

pin 2 is PCM/ECU. VPW signalling. and is not can-bus, yet. simular to this. http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/FO/fordguy4u/2013-03-02_224407_a1.jpg top right photos http://www.diagnostics4u.com/uploads/asset_image/2_4.jpg there you go, you tool must have VPW support on pin 2.
