Filing in context
The Engine assembly is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 23 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 12 Isuzu notifications from 2001 in this archive. For scale, 3,297 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 2 months.
Issue
On engines equipped with an idling stop system, the clearance between the tip of the intake throttle butterfly valve and the valve case is set incorrectly. This prevents the valve from opening smoothly on some units, making the engine difficult to start.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, adjust the clearance so that the valve does not contact the case.
