Getting the Wheeling Fever
My 1992 Isuzu Rodeo XS has been driving GREAT since I got it, with the exception of what seemed to be a front wheel bearing (pulling to the rigth even at high speeds), but turned out to be a mystery. Also I know I need new shocks.

Got a high milage oil change.. symptoms 2 and 3 started since that oil change

1st symptom: occasional SES light

2nd symptom: tranny seems to have a mind of its own, seemingly losing power / slipping even when simply cruising at speed (VERY WEIRD FEELING). Sometimes doesn't happen at all, and sometimes happens for a few minute interval and then seems to be ok ? ? So Not heat related ? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

IT COULD BE MY IMAGINATION, BUT it seems like this symptom kicks in on turns, or after bumps in the road. In fact, the first day that it happened, I had slammed on the brakes and skidded about 20-30 ft (oops).

3rd symptom: Speedo occasionally stick at 25mph mark

What I have done:

- Seafoam the fuel system
- Oil change
- Tranny additive (thick expensive bottle)

What should I do next ? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I'm getting the tranny filter replaced, and checking the intake manifold o-ring ground wire. Hopefully I don't get raped at this repair shop <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I'd go to autozone and get the codes pulled. Then post back.

The falling on it's face and half stalling is probably not the tranny, it could be your map sensor. I had a car act like that before and it was the MAP.

Just a thought, maybe you could test it or have it tested.

A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.

Well I went to autozone... they didn't have the right equipment to pull the code <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Anyways, I think I pinponited the problem... this is only happening in what feels like overdrive (4th ? ) gear. Does that = tranny rebuild time for sure ?
