Why 1988 Izuzu Trooper oil leaking - 2001 Isuzu Trooper

SOURCE: How do you replace turn signal bulb on 2001 Izuzu Trooper?

NOT SURE IF IT IS TRUE ON THIS KIND OF VEHICLE, BUT USUALLY WHEN CHANGING A BULB YOU NEED TO GO UNDER THE HOOD ON WHATEVER SIDE YOU ARE CHANGING...AND THERE WILL BE A KIND OF PLUG INTO THE BACK OF THE ACTUAL LIGHT FIXTURE, IF YOU GIVE IT LIKE A QUARTER TURN IT WILL PULL OUT YOU THEN CHANGE THE BULB AND PROCEED WITH PLUGGING BACK IN. MAYBE THIS WILL HELP!

Need to have the Coil packs and the Ignition Control Module tested at someplace like auto-zone. I'm willing to bet thats your problem.

If your car is over-heating, chances are it's the water pump or thermostat. These two parts should be changed out at the same time because if your pump is old enough to go out then the thermostat is not far behind.





Step1 First you'll need to pull out the old water pump. Look in your vehicles owners manual and find the diagram showing what all that stuff under your hood is. locate the water pump (usually underneath alternator running on the same belt) you'll need to take this belt (serpentine or other) off to start pulling the old pump. There should be a tension bar or arm that easily loosens the belt with the right size socket. Step2 Once you've gotten the belt off you can begin to remove the old pump. There should be only a few large bolts holding it in. After you've gotten the old pump out, place the silicone sealer on the new water pump 9around the edges where it meets the gasket. Then apply the sealer to the gasket as well, just use your fingers to spread it on. Now place the new pump with gasket, where the old one was, replace the bolts and be sure not to crank down too tight on the bolts or you might crack the gasket and your pump wont seal. Step3 Now that you've gotten the new pump installed, you'll want to replace the thermostat. the thermostat could be located near the water pump or on the other side of the engine. So once again, refer to the vehicles owners manual and find where the thermostat is. You might need to remove some hoses and/or lines to get to the thermostat, so just be careful not to break/bend/crack or damage anything (the older the vehicle, the better chance of something breaking) Pull the old thermostat and replace it with the new and you're all done. Don't forget to put everything (hoses, lines, nuts'n bolts) back where they came from and off you go!

SOURCE: Oil Pressure Problems on a 1988 Iszuzu Trooper

This engine is only the 4ZE1 2.6L EFI in the USA spec-models. The engine will run for a very long time with proper maintenance. Oil pressure falling only after warm-up indicates that the oil, when cold, is thick enough to make the pressure sending unit sense the oil. When it heats up the sending unit may not detect it as the oil thins out. The sending unit is what makes the gauge give an indicator its signal.

I would check the sending unit first, as your concern does not indicate a clattering engine or other problem. This model engine has a circuit that shorts the ignition to ground and kills the engine if the oil pressure ACTUALLY falls below a set minimum. Indicators of this problem are a loud clattering in the engine, as well an engine that will start and then stall for no reason.

Good luck!
