Problem starting

[circmand]

So far not a big problem but occasionally when I go to start my VX it will stall out. It has no problem starting the next time and seems to run well I was wondering if anyone else has senn this/

I'd have to guess that a homotron (queer electron) got in your ECU:)

Actually I haven't a clue. Hope someone else can help.

Tom i think you are a homotron for actually putting homotron into a sentence.

"Tom i think you are a homotron for actually putting homotron into a sentence."

Probably right. Since I'm not homophobic I was hoping everyone would just write it off to my questionable sense of humor:o

Sorry circmand. Didn't mean to send things so far off. As a pittance, I started searching threads but came up empty. I seem to remember someone who had a similar problem but couldn't find it.

Since the VX has a plethora of sensors, I'd have to guess one of them is getting an intermittent wrong reading. Can you have someone read it for error codes? It may be throwing a code that doesn't trigger any idiot lights.

[circmand]

Can this type of read be done at an auto parts place? I would hate to go to my local Campion Isuzu who ripped me off before and who Ireported to Isuzu America and the local BBB.

[tom4bren]

Most garages can read for error codes (even the mom & pop shops).

You can also purchase a reader from parts stores but I can't give you direction on that since I haven't purchased one myself.

sounds like it could also be a fuel problem. maybe an injector is clogged or bad fuel. it doesnt hurt to run some fuel injector cleaner through once in a while. but i would try to pull the codes. fo sho.

Fuel Filter maybe? Cheap and quick change.

[tom4bren]

I kind of discounted fuel delivery probs since he said it runs fine after the stall. I could be wrong tho - thought I was once but was mistaken.

BUT ... never hurts to run some fuel injector cleaner anyway.
