I have a 1998 Bighorn 3.0L if the wrong grade of oil is used in the motor it miss fires and runs rough, due to the injectors being oil pressure controlled, I have heard of extreme cases causing a failure to start when cold. good luck

    I have a 93 bighorn and once in a while the battery is dead and won't start. I carry around a charger and a set of jumper cables. It has done it since I got it two years ago and the mechanic cannot find the problem. I have had the alternator rebuilt and put in a new super heavy duty battery when I got it. It doesn't happen all the time but I try not to use anything electrical unless I absolutely have to. I never use the heated seats. I am so frustrated. It may only happen once a month or two or 4 and then happen every second day for two weeks. My son had a Bighorn a year older and it did exactly the same thing.

    get a bigger AMP HR. battery , CCA.?
    diesels suck big amps from starter and glow plugs. if starter sounds slow, it is , fix that first.

1999 ISUZU BIGHORN (diesel 4jx1) DEVELOPS A HARDSTART AFTER WARMING UP.SCANNED AND ITS P0198.CHANGED OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR YET PROBLEM NOT SOLVED. CAN SOMEBODY ADVVICE ON THE SOLUTION

After warm up, disconnect the wires to the cold start switch and see will it start easily after warm up. If it starts easily, you found your problem. Cold start switch being faulty will keep giving it too much fuel making it a rough start after warm up. Remember, this stuff is operated by a computer now.

Necesito el diagrama del cicuito electrico de un motor isuzu 4jg2, del 2004, de una isuzu Bighorn, donde lo puedo conseguir

spanish on English forum? really?
I need circuit electrical diagram of a 4JG2 Isuzu engine, 2004, an Isuzu Bighorn , where I can get it.
what country? we cant guess that, and i guess you dont know engines ,EFI , spark and many parts are all different by that fact.
if the USA car on this USA forum is a 4JG2
then all this is found at alldata.com
it a diesel engine, and we dont have them here.
it is direct injected diesel. sold in most markets, but not here.
Our isuzu dealers are gone now, they left uSA. for passenger cars.
so cant go there.
then go to yours and ask them?
"In 2002, the Trooper was discontinued in the United States."
so now i know car is not a USA car. and that our books dont cover cars not sold here.
so why not ask Isuzu this, go to the dealer buy the FSM book.
or join any non USA forum for isuzu. trucks. troopers


try here, link is random

http://forum.planetisuzoo.com/viewtopic.php?t=16663

they speak english only there too.
i dont see any spanish speaking isuzu forums.

best wishes.

1998 isuzu bighorn diesel starts and shuts off without any warning while driving.

If you got the 3.0 i'd say its the rail oil pressure sensor goin west .
If its the 3.1 check your shut off solenoid on the fuel injection pump as they can fai,l stop the engine then be ok next time you start up .
