I did it on my Rodeo before, and I think it must be the same for the 3.5DI on the Axiom. Unless the carbon build-up is really nasty one and requires manual scraping.

In my case, Isuzu recommends I warm it up, pull the plugs, but in cleaner, let set a few hours, fire it up, clean garbage from intake, EGR, and PCV, then change oil (solvent will slip between the rings). Sure, this is not so bad, given the alternitive. However, the idea of doing this twice a year, due to a design miss, is frustrating. Again, it could be a lot worse.

He suggested that I regularly use one of the top tier gas brands (go to www.toptiergas.com for more information). Long story short, after a few tank fulls the Rodeo is running as smooth as the day it was built with no stalling or acceleration issues at all. - Jim 1996 Rodeo - 3.2L, 5sp., ARB Bull Bar, Rancho 9000x, Eclipse sound 2004 Rodeo - 3.5L DI, Auto Page 2 of 2 1 2 Moderated by  4x4Wire, houlster, jezeric, Jim_Paget, strawmyers  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
