Idle Issues

and while it was apart, I took a pic of the intake off..
chances are youll see lot of oil running thru the upper
intake. Normal on these motors as we have found, but not
the best thing.
Put back together, the motor runs amazingly better as
expected.

Mine looks much like that right now, minus the S/C and the family of dead mice, heh.

Did you get aftermarket gaskets? I got mine from ISUZUPARTS.com and they are more like a rubberized material with sheetmetal framework. Far from paper-like.

Cleaned the idle air and its moving fine. Changed map but didn't help either. Shes still acting up. I did the spray test with the upper intake. I'll try this in a few. I just had this engine installed about 10k ago by the dealer. It's a reman. So the gaskets should theoretically be good but we'll see.

Thanks,

the original isuzu service manual for the VX stated the intake manifold torque specs at 18 or 19 ft-lbs.. it was later changed to 13 ft-lbs.. if they torqued it to the original specs, the gaskets could very well be bad already, i think the reason for that change was because of failing gaskets
