    If its the ORPS sensor (Common Rail Pressure Sensor) there will not be a Mil fault so the Tech2 will not show anything usefull. You could check the High Pressure Oil Rail pressures - if very high without variation could help isolate the ORPS as a problem but its still vague. Better to cut the white sensor wire beyong the har

    (whoops - hit the enter key by mistake) .... beyond the harness join (where the oil level / oil-filler located) so you can rejoin later and this will cut the reading to the ECU and will give standard "Limp home" running. Check for oil in the wiring and plug also as this can add to your problems). If it runs ok like that you will have to replace the ORPS sensor under the tappet valve cover. Use only MAP sensor cleaners NOT carby cleaner or others as they will create problems dissolving plastic that you need for insulation etc. The white wire may look yellowish after some years under the bonnet. These are common on newer vehicles but there are more testing systems in place now that will put up error codes for what we are experiencing. The valve cover job takes time but not too difficult. Make sure you seal the wire cable semi-circular gasket under and on top and within and beyond each side of the injector (pink) wires to stop oil leaking out in a continual stream of drips under the vehicle down the left side of the engine block. Get Ultra Blue and save messing with gaskets also. Have fun and build in a valve adjustment if you need one when the cover is off.

    Just a quick point - there is NO injector pump like the old diesels. The 4JX1 uses a high pressure oil rail (or tube) under the valve cover to hold high pressure oil. This is injected into the injector and multiplies the pressure to around 27,000PSI to pressurize the diesel fuel. Pretty nifty but poor injector seals created havoc and eventually were replaced under recall in most countries by so called ceramic seals for critical o-rings within the internals of the injector. Mechanics who are looking to replace an injector pump may be somewhat off track. (Being very politically correct here.

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.

How to fix an injector pump of 4jx1 engine

this is a USA forum what country are you in?
Fuel systems vary by engine, and country, so......?????
what needs fix'n?

the word fix has many meanings
  • how to rebuild the pump?
  • time it?
  • how to remove it put back?
  • how to bleed it.
  • and on and on... or a lift pump or ?
try to say what you are doing "the job" and why,
or if not a job, must be diagnosing it, ?
say , im trying to test it or. what ever you doing.
we cant guess, what fix means.
Diagnosing direct injection?



The 4JX1 is a 3.0 L direct injection diesel engine, turbo, some intercooled, which replaced the 4JG2 in the Isuzu Bighorn/Trooper/Holden Jackaroo.
It uses unit injectors and 4 valves per cylinder.

European and Asian buyers could opt for the diesel.

see we dont have this.
troopers are sold in Asia too, but not here with diesel.

can be caused by many reasons. get it scanned yet. ?
or see FSM book on flash codes from the direct injection fuel
controller? (per this engine option and market)

does turbo have proper boost? (PSI boost or +1 bar boost?)
does it even have a boost gauge.?
there are over 50 causes, of stalls (most inside engine)
but its not getting boost or the injection rates are wrong.
there are basic tests for each covered in the FSM
Factory (oem) service manual, with coverage for this engine.
