I have an 04 RA Rodeo dual cab 3.5l 5spd man.
On the weekend the car started running rough i topped it up with some oil and only fixied it up a little, an O2 sensor light flashed up possibly running rich, petty smelling exhaust and hell smoky on the down rev. I had a roadside mechanic come take a look right away because I was a bit concerned for the big girl. We disconnected all the coil packs and found it is running on 5 cylinders, swapped a coil pack and the problem didn't jump still in the cylinder or what I hope it isn't a valve the dealer told me when i bought it second hand that a valve had been replaced(new clutch too:blah blah???
Also tested the injector cable and it is pulsing.
Got his advice about towing it or driving it around to the EMS and injection pro round the corner(aparantly he is the best in perth) . Took it in and he connected the tech2 and cleared the computer kicked her over ran it a bit, no problems. He also plugged in the izuzu card and done the same tests.
The computer still said no error codes.
He said the problem has to be mechanical so after the WA public holiday next monday we are going to do core testing. I will let you boys know the results.
The car idles normally at(approx) 1000rpm ,100km/h in 5th gear is 2000rpm and 1st to 4th from 0-55km/h the revs don't go over 2000rpm...when this started on the weekend now the poor girl shutters/vibrates/shakes at around and inbetween 1300-1500rpm
