THE ECU SEEMS TO HAVE FAILED, IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH TOWN AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT, IDLE STAYED AT 2000RPM, NORMAL IDLE IS 800-1000. KEPT DRIVING. ON WAY HOME FROM ERRANDS CAR STALLED ONCE AT A LIGHT, TRIED TO STALL SEVERAL OTHER TIMES (ALL WHILE IDLING) WITH ENGING RPM DIPPING AS LOW AS 500 (OR 0RPM WHEN IT STALLED). FOLLOWING IS A LINK TO AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.ISUZUPERFORMANCE.COM/ISUZUWEB/RECALL.HTML ---- (ALL CARS LISTED IN THAT REPORT ARE SISTER CARS, WITH DRIVETRAINS BUILT BY ISUZU) I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEMS LISTED THERE, EXCEPT FOR THE CAR GOING ON ITS OWN, AS MY CAR IS A MANUAL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN THIS REGARD. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN TO GM AND ISUZU FOR A LONG TIME KNOW, WITH VIRTUALLY EVERY STORM AND STYLUS ON THE ROAD HAVING CRACKED THEIR ORIGINAL EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS PROBLEM IS OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS, AS IT ALLOWS NOXIOUS EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER THE ATMOSPHERE AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT, BYPASSING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *AK
