Calling on all rodeo experts , looking for some advice on a 2005 rodeo 3.0 TD Im looking at buying.
The car has just had the clutch replaced and flywheel machined but ever since it has been in limp
home mode with the
check engine light on. No tacho reading, idling rough and not revving over 2600 rpm. The job was not done at a licenced workshop.
Does anyone know if the flywheel may be in the wrong position for the crank angle sensor causing the problem or could it just be a damaged sensor/wire.
Tried googling the problem but not much luck there.
Yes I know holden could scan a code for me but I dont have that option as I dont own the car and are just trying to see if anyone has had similar issues and whether it may be a simple fix and how much it might cost to repair.
Thanks in advance
Ed

Normally a crank angle sensor detects No 1 and is therefore the beginning if the sequence.
Probably you can't get it wrong for the reason of identifying No1.
If the flywheel can be fitted in alternate positions, then the mechanics who are trusted people, are not to be trusted.
If a CAS isn't connected, all engines won't run at all because the injection system doesn't know where No 1 is. ie shootin' in the dark.
You didn't say what engine designation it is. Some models of Isuzu should be avoided unless passionate about your ability to repair it yourself.
if a 4JJ1 engine then they are very reliable.
Why not ask for it to be running properly BEFORE deciding to purchase.
Is there a reason why that particular vehicle is preferred over others of the same?

I agree there is a excellent chance the flywheel has not gone back in the original position
