2000 ippon 3.1 engine doesn't warm up, doesn't have power up

Postby Alkam » Sun Mar 17, 2019 6:03 pm

Hello,

I recently purchased a 3.1 ippon that has a dmax engine in it, not sure which one sorry.

The truck has a problem in that the engine doesn't warm up. I replaced the sensor unit. I can't get it past the "c" mark on the gauge..

It also has almost no power uphill.. it dies out especially also because it's automatic it seems like it's always in a higher gear than needed..

I replaced the fuel filter and the air filter and the oil..

Thank you

Hi, is that a 3.1 V6 petrol or 3.1 diesel engine? In either case the D-Max doesn't have a 3.1 engine. Your ute? is called a Isuzu/holden rodeo more commonly I think.

I'm thinking you have a 4jg2 turbo engine, have you checked the turbo is still good and have you had your sensors checked. I'd start at those 2 things first.

Thanks for the input, i will attach a photo of the engine today.

The engine was swapped before I bought it..

I haven't had the turbo checked and I did replace the temperature sensor. I will get them checked.

Thanks

Looks like a 4jg2 I didnt know that was ever in a dmax but you have different models to us. First thing to check for not warming up is the thermostat it may be missing
