Hello everyone!
I am located here in the USA.
I am not sure just where i am exactly supposed to post my question (s) so i will post here and hope it is correct. If not i am sure i will hear about it.
Anyway, i have a 1988 Isuzu p/u truck 4x4, 5 speed manuel transmission, multi port fuel injection, 2.6 4 cyl gas engine.
Here is my problem.
When i start my engine cold it does not idel very well but does idel ok. My problem comes in when the engine gets hot(operating temp) while driving under acelleration the truck stumbles and falls flat on it's face. It acts like as if i started out in too high of a gear and it starts to buck and jerk, until it cleans itself up and then will take off. It acts like it is not getting enough fuel (starvation). The truck has over 2 hundred thousand miles on it.
Here is some of the things i have done to it.
Replaced the fuel filter $10 each (twice), checked for correct fuel pressure, replaced the timing belt (chain) and seals $1,000 +, cleaned the MAF sensor, replaced the plugs and wires, cap and rotar $45, replaced the coil $53, checked for vacum leaks, (found none), replaced the oil sensor (2 wire) $12, replaced the temp sensor $12 (intake manifold), replaced the intire clutch system $1,002, added some sea foam $8 to the engine oil and gas tank (additive), the EGR vavle seems to be working just fine, I have checked for fault codes and have found none stored in the computer.
I am not sure where to go from here to find the problem.??
I have been on various Isuzu sites here in the states but i am not getting good info. I am at a point i am going to just start replacing everything i can one piece at a time.
I have yet to remove and clean the EGR crossover tube. Still need to replace the Ignition moduel, $170 for that piece.
I sure hope that maybe someone here can help me figure out my problem. This problem is keeping me from driving the truck.
Please help if you can! As i am at a total loss.
I will add some pics once i figure out how to do this and where they go.
This truck does not have the General Motors engine. It is stamped with the Isuzu letters on the top of the engine. And has the I-Tec stamped on the side of the multi port chamber.
