My isuzu switched off its engine and has never started since then. when it started it run for less than one minute only. please advice.

The cooling fan has an independent temperature-controlled switch. What you are describing is normal operation.

Electrical short. Or the ECM may have internal short too. If you have done engine electrical repairs recently, re check to find wires that may have wrongly connected.

took me less than a minute via google search

"with the LF8 Isuzu Diesel, engine oil capacity is 23.7 quarts or 22.5 liters."

If the engine is failing that fast, it is because something is getting too hot, then it allows the engine to run once it cools off. I believe you might have been on the right track with the ignition coil, and would be looking at the spark plugs, myself. Let us know if you need anything else!

It sounds like you need to switch to a lower viscosity oil. Something like a 10w-30 or a 10w-40 grade oil and change it & filter every 3k. Re: your friends issue - it's not common at all.

takes a long time to run the rediness test since there are 6 different tests to complete...

Travel for 300 seconds or more while keeping the vehicle speed at 89 km/h (55 mph) or more.
Decelerate until the vehicle speed is within 80 km/h (50 mph) or less.

Stopping and braking are permitted. (If stopped or drive at 56 km/h (35 mph) or less for more than 5 minutes the monitoring may be stopped. In this case please restart monitoring from the beginning.)
After completing the above deceleration, bring the vehicle speed back to 56 - 80 km/h (35 - 50 mph) and keep it in the range until starting the deceleration again.
Repeat the above deceleration at least 5 times.
Return the vehicle to the shop, then turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position

PROCEDURE 4

hi errol,try loosening the highest hot hose clip,to vent any trapped air,(make sure the plastic bottle is full).
to test the fans, run a wire from the battery to the fan and if fans run then it could be the sensor or the relay.....relay cheapest.

Check to make sure that the engine oil is adequate in amount/type/quality. If the oil gets too thin, there is a switch on the oil filter mounting adapter that will short the ignition to ground, killing the engine before damage is done due to a lack of lubrication.

2005 impala trans hits hard after a while or driving faster speeds i turn off the engine for a few minutes restart engine and he changes fine

Its the oil ! 15/40 is too thick it should be 5/30 or 10/30 fully synthetic .
The woosh noise is ok just the erg flap coming open .
