What owners report
THE ECU HAS CAUSED ERRATIC ENGINE BEHAVIOUR AND COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE LEAVING US STRANDED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNTRUSTWORTHY OVER IT'S ENTIRE LIFE. MANY TIMES THE IGNITION SYSTEM HAS FAILED IN TRAFFIC WITH OUR BABIES IN THE CAR LEAVING US STRANDED IN THE HEAT. THIS UNIT SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOME OF THE HUNDREDS SPENT ON MIS-DIAGNOSIS, MOTEL BILL'S AND TOWING SERVICE, ETC. REIMBURSED BY GM/DELCO -ISUZU. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF NECESSARY. DT
ERRATIC IDLE, IDLE REVVING AND DROPPING, IDLE DIPPING OFTEN WITH ENGINE DYING, IDLE HANGING HIGH ABOVE 2,000 RPM, AND ENGINE DYING OR STALLING FOR NO REASON WITH NO TROUBLE CODES
THE COMPUTER IN THIS CAR CAUSES FOR AN EXTREMELY ERRATIC IDLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST TURNED ON, THE IDLE SPEED IS NORMAL AND STEADY FOR ABOUT 5 TO 10 SECONDS, AND THEN ALL BETS ARE OFF. SOMETIMES IT GOES UP, SOMETIMES IT GOES DOWN, RANGING ANYWHERE FROM NEAR-STALL TO 3000 RPM. IT DOES THIS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS TURNED ON WHEN COLD, ONLY OCCASIONALLY AFTER IT IS WARMED UP. I WOULD TRY REPAIRING IT, BUT I HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF EXPERIENCE WITH THIS ENGINE/ECU COMBINATION, AND ALMOST ALL OF THEM (INCLUDING DEALER-SUPPLIED REPLACEMENT ECUS, WHICH ARE FRIGHTFULLY EXPENSIVE) DO THIS. THANKFULLY, I AM AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, SO WHEN I AM IN CLOSE QUARTERS WITH A COLD ENGINE, I KEEP MY FOOT ON THE
ECU HAS FAILED, CAUSING ERRACTIC IDLE/ VEHICLES STALLING. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK
THE FIRST ECU FAILURE OCCURRED UNDER WARRANTY AND CAUSED THE CAR TO BARELY RUN. IT WAS REPLACED BY JOHN KRAFT CHEVROLET (THEY NO LONGER SELL ISUZU'S). DURING THE PAST 3 YRS/30000 MI I HAVE EXPERIENCED ALL OF THE FOLLOWING: ERRATIC IDLE, IDLE REVVING AND DROPPING (MOST COMMON), IDLE HANGING HIGH ABOVE 2000 RPM, AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, IDLE DROPPING WITH CAR OFTEN STALLING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED FOR A STOP. THE CAR SEEMS TO PICK BUSY INTERSECTIONS TO STALL. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AC DELCO ECU USED IN THIS CAR. AC DELCO USED AN INSULATIVE SPRAY ON THE CIRCUIT BOARDS WHICH SHRINKS OVER TIME WHEN EXPOSED TO WARM AND COLD TEMPS. THE SHRINKING INSULATIVE SPRAY
