Why does my Rodeo’s check engine light come on when I start it?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Rodeo firing up its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Why is my Isuzu Rodeo making engine noise?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Isuzu Rodeo engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Isuzu Rodeo engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I put water in my Isuzu Rodeo radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Rodeo when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What could cause my Rodeo engine to suddenly stop?

Reasons your Rodeo car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
