My check engine light has been coming

2.6l 4 cylinder. Only one sensor, I think

Hello,

My parents own a 1995 Isuzu Rodeo with a 2.6 engine. The check engine light is on and the engine stalls. Do I need to purchase a scanner or is there a way to get the codes by having the check engine light flash the fault codes? If there is a way to get the codes directly from the check engine light flashes, whats the method in doing so? Also, where can I get the corresponding description of fault codes?

Thank you

Herb

So it appears from the picture that there are leads already attached to the car and all I need to do is connect the two in order to retrieve the codes? Also, where do I get the corresponding description for the code?

Thanks

Herb

Thanks saturntech9. I am in Houston, Tx and my parents live in the Albuquerque area in New Mexico. It won't be out there until probably in July. Can I get back with you then and let you know what the codes are?

Thanks

Herb

Dear 2 Car Pros:
Mi 1995.5 Isuzu: 2 wheel drive, 4 cil, 2.6 lts. 180,000 miles keeps showing "check engine light" whenever I am riding at 30 to 40 mph in 3rd gear, 40 to 50 mph in 4th gear and 50 to 60 mph in 5th gear. At the same time, it can't pick up speed when this happens.
However, if I lift the foot from the gas pedal the light turns off and when I press it again it works fine for several minutes, until it lights up again if I didn't speed up.
It also turns off if I floor the gas pedal and the engine revs up (with a strange noise) to the upper speed shown above.
My mechanic doesn't find anything wrong with the engine, and since the light doesn't remain on, he can't retrieve any codes.
It only does this (light on and power diminished) within those speeds in those gears, and it's very bothering not to rely in a quick response, as I had for many years.
Please help, this problem have been going on for 3 or 4 months already.

Who does these scans?
And the light being off (except on those speed/gear situations)doesn't prevent the computer to show any fault codes?
I am an ignorant in the subject, I only know (and trust) one mechanic and he told me he could not read it.
I am trying to find out before having to resort to the dealer, who would cost me half the value of the car.

I was able to retrieve the code. Code 44: fuel metering system incorrect signal (lean).
I've already replaced the oxygen sensor with a new Bosch unit and still has signal. These are the symptoms: starts and idles beautifully and no check engine light. During a normal acceleration the engine stumbles, check engine light comes on and only by pumping the accelerator does it seem to temporarily help. What could be causing stumbling? Is there more than one ox sensor on these 2.6 engines? P.S. Ox sensor light is on all the time but I was told it has to be manually reset under dash. Could this be causing the problem?

I am a little disappointed with the answers. That I needed a scan I knew before asking the question, and that a qualified mechanic (Isuzu) will do it I also knew. I asked the question to get an idea of what could be the problem, not to refer me back to the dealer mechanic; which was what I was trying to avoid.
But well, have a dinner with my contribution, anyway.

One day I was driving my Isuzu rodeo and it lost power. I turned my car off and restarted it and it started moving as if it is in winter mode. The car has 4 dash lights that say (Check Engine, Check Transmission, Power & Winter). These lights come on when u start the car and go away after start. These lights stopped working after I lost power, and now my rodeo starts in winter mode (starts in 3rd gear). It starts slow but once I reach 20 MPH it drives fine. Also if I used 1-2-3-D gears it works fine and there is a lot of power. I took it to a mechanic and he said there is something electrical and another mechanic said that the transmission is out. Please suggest as to what the problem might be.

My check engine light comes on and stays on for a little whille then goes off, I don't seem to see or feel any power loss, however my voltage amps go down and I have noticed that if I run the lights, heater, and or anything else electrical it will really loose voltage. Could this be the alternator?
