Some Isuzu Rodeo owners report experiencing engine shutdowns after the oil gauge rises high during operation, which may indicate underlying issues with oil pressure or the oil pump. Additionally, a drop in the oil pressure gauge to zero at idle, followed by an increase when tapping the accelerator, can signal potential problems. Some owners also find that fuel injection issues, such as worn seals allowing fuel to leak into the cylinders after the engine is off, contribute to these shutdowns. Electrical problems, particularly with a faulty crankshaft position sensor, have also been reported, leading to power loss and engine shutdown while driving. To mitigate these risks, regular maintenance, including timely oil changes and servicing, is crucial for maintaining the vehicle's performance. It is recommended that owners experiencing these issues consult a qualified mechanic for a thorough inspection and diagnosis.
