16 1. Remove ex cessive carbon buildup with a top
engine cleaner. Refer to the instructions on the top
engine cleaner can.
2. Perform the ex haust emission test.
Does the vehicle pass the test? —System OK Go to Step 18
17 Perform the ex haust emission test.
Does the vehicle pass the test?—System OK Go to Step 18
18 Run Engine.
Check the fuel control Heated Ox ygen Sensor
(HO2S). When monitored on the Tech 2, the HO2S
should respond quickly to different throttle positions. If
it doesn’t check for silicon or other contaminates from
fuel or use of improper sealant. The sensors may
have a white powdery coating. Silicon contamination
sends a rich ex haust signal which causes the ECM to
command and excessively lean air/fuel mix ture.
Was a problem found?—Verify repair Go to Step 19

0A-2 GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and chock the front or rear wheels before lifting the vehicle.
2. Raise the vehicle with a jack set against the axle or the frame.
3. Support the vehicle on chassis stands.
4. Use covers on the vehicle body, seats, and floor to prevent damage and/or contamination.
5. Disconnect the grounding cable from the battery before performing service operations.
This will prevent cable damage or burning due to short circuiting.
6. Handle brake fluid and antifreeze solution with great care.
Spilling these liquids on painted surfaces will damage the paint.
7. The use of the proper tool(s) and special tool(s) where specified is essential to efficient, reliable, and safe
service operations.
8. Always use genuine ISUZU replacement parts.
9. Discard used cotter pins, gaskets, O-rings, oil seals, lock washers, and self-locking nuts at disassembly.
Normal function of these parts cannot be guaranteed if they are reused.
10. Prepare new cotter pins, gaskets, O-rings, oil seals, lock washers, and self-locking nuts for installation.
11. Keep the disassembled parts neatly in groups.
This will facilitate smooth and correct reassembly.
12. Keep fixing nuts and bolts separate.
Fixing nuts and bolts vary in hardness and design according to installation position.
13. Clean all parts before inspection or reassembly.
14. Clean the oil ports and other openings with compressed air to make certain that they are free from dirt and
obstructions.
15. Lubricate the rotating and sliding faces of all moving parts with oil or grease before installation.
16. Use the recommended liquid gasket to prevent leakage.
17. Carefully observe all nut and bolt torque specifications.
18. When removing or replacing parts that require refrigerant to the discharged from the Air conditioning system, be
sure to use the Vehicle Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling Equipment (VRRRE) to recover and recycle R134a,
to promote the movement for the protection of the ozone layer covering the earth.
19. Check and recheck your work. No service operation is complete until you have done this.
