Service Precaution
When working on the fuel system, there are several
things to keep in mind:
Any time the fuel system is being worked on,
disconnect the negative battery cable except
for those tests where battery voltage is
required.
Always keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire
extinguisher near the work area.
Replace all pipes with the same pipe and
fittings that were removed.
Clean and inspect “O" rings. Replace i
f
required.
Always relieve the line pressure before
servicing any fuel system components.
Do not attempt repairs on the fuel system until
you have read the instructions and checked
the pictures relating to that repair.
Adhere to all Notices and Cautions.
All gasoline engines are designed to use only
unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline must be
used for proper emission control system operation.
Its use will also minimize spark plug fouling and
extend engine oil life. Using leaded gasoline can
damage the emission control system and could
result in loss of emission warranty coverage.
All cars are equipped with an Evaporative Emission
Control System. The purpose of the system is to
minimize the escape of fuel vapors to the
atmosphere.

Precautions
Do not light a match or create a flame.
Keep flames away from your work area to preven
t
flammable materials from catching fire.
Disconnect battery ground cable to preven
t
electrical shorts.
Pre-treat piping system or associated parts from
thermal damage or from spattering when welding
or similar heat-generating work.
Cautions During Work
140R100032
Legend
(1) O-ring
(2) Port
(3) Connector
(4) Plastic Tube
Do not expose the assembly to battery electrolyte or do
not wipe the assembly with a cloth used to wipe off spil
t
battery electorolyte.
Piping that has been splattered with battery electrolyte
or battery electrolyte soaked cloth that was wiped on the
piping cannot be used.
Removal
1. Open the fuel cap to relieve the fuel pressure in the
tank.
Use compressed air to remove any dirt on the fuel
quick connect fittings prior to disconnecting the
fittings.
141R100002
When disconnecting the fuel pipe, cover the area
with a cloth to prevent fuel from splashing as the
fuel pipe may still have some pressure in it.
2. For removal of the quick connector, hold the quick
connector in one hand, and pull out the connento
r
with the other hand while pressing the square
relieve button of the connector, as illustrated.
140R100037
NOTE: Do not use tools of any kind. Only use bare
hands when disconnecting the connector. Use a
lubricant (light oil) and/or push and pull the connecto
r
until the pipe is disconnected.
Cover the connectors that was removed with a
plastic bag, to prevent dust or rain water from
entering.

140R100028
Reuse of Quick–Connector
Replace the port and connector if scratch, dent or
crack is found.
Remove any dirt build up on the port when installing
the connector. Replace the connector, if there is any
forms of rust, dent, scratch.
After cleaning the port, insert it straight into the
connector until it clicks. After it clicks, try pulling a
t
49N (5kgf) it out to make sure that it is not drawn
and is securely locked.
140R100036
Assembling Advice
By applying engine oil or light oil to the pipe, port makes
pipe assembly easier. The pipe assembly should take
place immediately after applying oil (to prevent dus
t
from sticking to the pipe surface –which may
decrease sealing ability).
Test/Inspection After Assembling
1. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Turn the ignition key to the “ON" position and listen
for pump start-up sound. Inspect for leaks, the
fuel pressure will increase as the fuel pump is
actuated.
3. Perform leak inspection (step 2) several times.
4. Start the engine and observe the engine idle speed.
The presence of dirt in the fuel system may affec
t
the fuel injection system.

Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU
ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE
SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFE
R
TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM
REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU
will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, o
r
other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener.
When you install fasteners, use the correct
tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to
parts and systems.
6D2-2 IGNITION SYSTEM (6VE1 3.5L)
General Description
Ignition is done by the electronic ignition (El) that directly
fires the spark plugs from ignition coils through spark
plug wires without using a distributor. A pair of ignition
coils for the cylinders having different phases by 360
(No.1 and No.4, No.2 and No.5, No.3 and No.6) are
fired simultaneously.
Since the cylinder on exhaust stroke requires less
energy to fire its ignition plug, energy from the ignition
coils can be utilized to fire the mating cylinder on
compression stroke. After additional 360rotation,
respective cylinder strokes are reversed.
The EI consists of six ignition coils, crankshaft position
sensor, engine control module (ECM) and othe
r
components.
The ignition coils are connected with the ECM.
The ECM turns on/off the primary circuit of ignition coils,
and also it controls the ignition timing.
A notch in the timing disc on the crankshaft activates
the crankshaft position sensor which then sends
information such as firing order and starting timing o
f
each ignition coil to the ECM.
Further, the El employs ignition control (IC) to control
similar to a distributor system.
Diagnosis
Refer to Section Drivability and Emissions for the
diagnosis to electronic ignition system (El system).

STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM (6VE1 3.5L) 6D3-15
Charging System
General Description
The IC integral regulator charging system and its main
components are connected as shown in illustration.
The regulator is a solid state type and it is mounted
along with the brush holder assembly inside the
generator installed on the rear end cover.
The generator does not require particular maintenance
such as voltage adjustment.
The rectifier connected to the stator coil has eigh
t
diodes to transform AC voltage into DC voltage.
This DC voltage is connected to the output terminal o
f
generator.
General On–Vehicle Inspection
The operating condition of charging system is indicated
by the charge warning lamp. The warning lamp comes
on when the starter switch is turned to “ON" position.
The charging system operates normally if the lamp
goes off when the engine starts.
If the warning lamp shows abnormality or i
f
undercharged or overcharged battery condition is
suspected, perform diagnosis by checking the charging
system as follows:
1. Check visually the belt and wiring connector.
2. With the engine stopped, turn the stator switch to
“ON" position and observe the warning lamp.
If lamp does not come on:
Disconnect wiring connector from generator, and
ground the terminal “L" on connector side.
If lamp comes on:
Repair or replace the generator.
