1994 Isuzu Rodeo 3.2L V-6 leaking coolent from somewhere in between the engine and fire wall

Vehicles tend to idle higher for two main reasons, as the temperature becomes colder, the engine must work harder to warm itself up so it idles higher to accomplish this faster. The second may be due to a vacuum leak in the engine. Any other symptoms?

Hello Harvey, My information shows firing order of 123456. #1 being passenger's front cylinder and #2 being driver's front cylinder.

FIRING ORDERS NOTE: To avoid confusion, remove and tag the spark plug wires one at a time, for replacement. If a distributor is not keyed for installation with only one orientation, it could have been removed previously and rewired. The resultant wiring would hold the correct firing order, but could change the relative placement of the plug towers in relation to the engine. For this reason it is imperative that you label all wires before disconnecting any of them. Also, before removal, compare the current wiring with the accompanying illustrations. If the current wiring does not match, make notes in your book to reflect how your engine is wired. Fig. 1: 1.8L, 2.0L and 2.3L engines Firing Order: 1–3–4–2 Distributor Rotation: Counterclockwise
Fig. 2: 2.6L and 2.8L engines Firing Order: 1–3–4–2 Distributor Rotation: Clockwise
Fig. 3: 3.1L engine Firing Order: 1–2–3–4–5–6 Distributor Rotation: Counterclockwise
Fig. 4: 3.2L engine Firing Order: 1–2–3–4–5–6 Distributorless Ignition System

well could be faulty coil packs could be bad grounds(corroded)

SWITCH ASM; POWER,IGN COIL 8-94474-294-2 Go to myisuzuparts.com and find this part number. This part is under the intake manifold. No crank sensor as is has a distributor. 8-94474-294-2 1 05-1990 to 08-1994

My apologies for the delay....Due to the bad economy the number of questions posted has skyrocketed 50% in the last 4-months.

For 2WD and 4WD it is the same:
For 3.2L:
Firing Order:
1-2-3-4-5-6
Cylinders:
5-------6
3-------4
1-------2
(front of vehicle)
Coil is on the Spark Plug

The firing order for a six cylinder is 1-2-3-4-5-6 distributor rotation-clockwise...cylinders 1-3-5 on drivers side...2-4-6 on passenger side

No,the only good solution is to replace the seal.I have tried different additives and none seem to hold up very long.Good Luck!!!!

Hi,
Isuzu seem to have complicated things by changing engines, firing orders and even direction of rotation! As you can see, they've numbered the cylinders the other way than the 3.2L.

The Firing sequence for the 3.1 (traditional distributor) 6 cylinder is as follows -



If you take the distributor cap off, there should be a "No.1" formed on the inside. Stick a lead on this before you put the cap back on and go from there.
As leads are different lengths, you may have to swap a few to find the best fit.

I think 2 of them will look out of place - but that's the way it's designed. Just make use of clips for holding them neatly.

Thanks for using Fixya.

Hi,

On the 3.2L distriburorless ignition, the firing order is a straight 1-2-3-4-5-6.

Hope this works for you
