I have a 3.1 V6 4wd, 5 speed rodeo. Recently I made a cross country trip in in and began experiencing problems. First thing to happen was that the brake light came on. Then a few hundred miles later, it lost so much power going up hill that I was forced to climb a mountain with a top speed of 30mph; I was obviously concerned about this however I did not experience the problem again once I left the mountains. The next problem I encountered was in failing emissions test when I went to switch tags over: HC 7.04 to standard 1.60 and CO 177.6 to standard 40.0. I have since been investigating my Rodeo and also discovered a lot of gunk built up on the inside rear wheels and rear differential (the gunk shines like fresh and smells like 90w). Because the trip left me strapped I cannot head to a garage and get a diagnostic. Please help with any pointers as to what may be causing my many problems.
Its old and old cars are a mess. all are. never seen an exception (cept mine, )
for sure a 1991. it's very old. 26yo. no spring chicken there.
only a good shop can find leaks
we clean it with steam cleaner and find source
or use UV dye kit to find it while filthy.(plus matching test lamp)
end leak saga... its Gear oil so that tells you all you need to know.
back to engine,
all engine loose power, sooner or later, all do.
and all do faster and far worse not tuned up
that is the V6 engine it has a name, 6vd1.
its a SOHC engine and is belt driven cam
if power lacks full time the belt slipped,its a 60,000 mile service point.
ip power drops and not what is it>?
well of its a bog, lost fuel pressure are dead MAP,filters fuel/air?
well if its misfires, did it? its time for a tuneup
ever get a full tuneup this decade, i bet not. but most here are not and that is why most are here, skipping tuneups
seeing of spark and filters can run for 500,000 miles.
endless posts on that.,
and that belt ignored, long walk home with it snaps, and will
I promise.
Smog
you left off words, PPM and %
making this way too hard,
HC 7.04 to standard 1.60 and CO 177.6 to standard 40.0.
we do HC PPM and CO in % see?
7% HC is great and avg is 12 (fleet)
177 CO, my guess is 1.7% and is near time max.
what is stardard sounds like fleet avg to me.... not max.
CO can be near zero and is with a good cat , is your cat missing
blown out or rodded out> (insides present)>?
and 10,000 car measures avg here, is . 05% over 10 times less.
here is one passing
see max, just below max on HC, (weak cat is cause)
see CO, here, its tiny, a super safe car. to breath near.
1% max is clear, here, on 25mph rollers.
in retrospect
i think your CO is 1.7% (near 2 times our limit in usa)
the 7 HC over 1.7 is really
Leaking brake fluid onto the brake dust causing the brake pads or shoes to drag. ck your brake fluid first the ck the brakes themselves. Fairly common Also make sure the emergency bk is not on,frozen calipers,leaking wheel cylinders ect.
SOURCE: Auto Transmission 2000 Rodeo
It seems that the trans is slipping. The smell is from excess trans flood. If Trans is over filled, it can rupture seals and cause leaking that can get on the exhaust and burn.
SOURCE: 99 Rodeo Right turn signal makes brake lights blink
TURN SIGNALS WILL FEED BACK THROUGH THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH.THEY ARE INDEPENDENT OUT SIDE ON THE CAR BUT NOT IN THE SIGNAL SWITCH.REPLACE THE SIGNAL SWITCH
SOURCE: Failed Smog Test - 4 codes for 2001 Isuzu Rodeo
Tune it up and replace the 02 sensor that keeps setting the codes bank 2 sensor 1. Have your oil and filter changed right before you go for a retest to. That will clear up 3 codes P0300, 0155 and 0154. You might have to replace the fuel sending unit to get rid of P0463 but if the gauge works OK I'd leave it alone.
