Question lang po sa Dmax owners.
May nasira na po ba na injection pump (VP44) sa inyo?
At what mileage did it happen?
Other causes if ever?

Well about injection pumps, I had the scare of my life about a month ago.

Mine is a '05 LS Dmax on its 38thK. One day it just started 'hicupping' when the rpm reaches 1.5k and goes on as if nothing happened after a split second...then again on its 2k rpm, hicupps again and then wala na. Smooth na all the way. Had it check in our local dealer and said its just the dirty fuel system , so we changed the two fuel filters(originals). Well it didn't help.

Now they're talking of fuel injection pumps and that really scared me as I'm passed mywarranty period of two years already. Since the local dealer can't do anything about it, I have to bring my unit to Isuzu Cebu (I'm based in Negros Or.). Fortunately they were able to clean the fuel system, including the injectors (?) in just a days work and its back to normal again.

The verdict?--don't use fuel additives! I've been using petron XCS added with petron fuel boosters since the day I got my unit and this is what I got. THe theory is that the additives really cleanse the fuel but the tiny winy dirt it actually removes passes through the filters and on to the injectors and gets stuck there, thereby giving all those problems---in theory of course.

Bai, maybe you mean Petron Diesel Max? Yung Petron XCS, unleaded gasoline yun.

Ah oo nga pala, petron diesel max not xcs

It's probably water accumulated in your fuel-water separator which flowed into your injection pump.

saan ba located yung fuel-water separator???dapat ba dinedrain to from time to time???

[Memphis Raines]

jubilum - so bai, it was the injectors pala? How long did it take you to make arrangements/scheduling with Isuzu Cebu (Ayala)?

I plan to go there within this month for servicing

ang fuel/water separator ng dmax natin nasa underchassis left side tapat ng driver, denidrain 'to regularly, buksan mo lang ang maliit na valve sa bottom nya. paagasin mo lang ng konti at makita mo visually kung may tubig..

Yup Dieseldude ----- I check the separators regularly too. So many other possibilities but it seems sa akin lang nangyari 'to. And one very logical explanation must be the diesel power boosters effect which as I have said i've been using for almost three years--wala syang output nang dirt or impurities na in theory na reremove nya...
