Welcome to our USA forum. that forum that has Zero, Frontiers
where is yours? Africa, Australia , where.?
the books on them very by country,
Does your V6 have 4 cams (DOHC) or just 2.
ok ever seen a spark timing light, and use it to check timing
on those cylinders, dead.? if timing is way off
the cam belt slipped.

this is your second post on same car.
"all pistons are firing" by what measure,(method??????)"
using a test spark plug, is method 1.
using timing light is method 2 , tells if cam slipped.
but if true, the the timing is off.
if not true the coil pack is bad. (or you wired it wrong)
learn to use a timing light.
learn how to do that on any of the 6 cylinders.
and win.

I have an isuzu LX 320; the The 3 pistons on the passenger side are working; but those on the(drivers side} do not seem to be working; though all spark plugs are firing. What can be the problem?

no year car, stated, nor engine. nor country
welcome to USA forum, its best to state that and engine there.
its sure is V6, but which one???? some many made,
my guess is you have no timing light to seem that BANK fire wrong? "timing"?
that be like first trick out of the bag.
are you down under? (as in the land down under )
or africa, ?
Isuzu Frontier LX 320 V6 or
Isuzu KB 320 LX 4x2 P/U D/C
we dont have either of those 2 cars. or trucks. in the U.S.A.
nada, no cars, no books nothing. like that.
but some of our old 2004 and older have V6s
they dont see cars here now. they bugged out long ago.

id say the 3 pistons on that bank did not die.
but if the spark is hot on the dead bank then the coil pack is ok
if wired correctly , did you mess with that coil pack>?
if timed wrong then the cam belt slipped.

that is my wild guess, on a car never seen here.
ever.
next time man, up and say year, and country.
and if really savvy DISPLACEMENT of that V6

1998 isuzu amigo 4x4 3" lift front suspension problems no travel verry stiff

if you have lifted the front suspension by 3 inches then that is 3 inches less travel for the shocky piston to move when the suspension goes down. You have probably damaged the piston and shaft of the shocky. Replace with longer travel shockys.

Cannot figure out the firing order for my 1991 isuzu rodeo

Facing towards front of engine-number 1 is on passenger side front cyl of engine. Number 2 is front cyl on driver's side-number 3 middle cyl on passenger side-4 on middle cyl driver's side-5 on back cyl passenger side and 6 on back cyl driver's side. The distributer rotates COUNTER CLOCKWISE-number 1 cyl's sparkplug wire attaches to distributer cap connection closest to number 5 cyl.-to your right side of this plug wire on cap would go cyl number 2-then 3-then 4-then 5 and then 6. The firing order is:1,2,3,4,5,6

I have a 1998 isuzu rodeo, v-6, vehicle won't start

it cold e the rings on your pistons not allowing compression cause it was lying in one position all the time i would clean plugs and spray a little oil into cylinders this will increase compression slightly and she might fire once she runs she will be okay then
