Disadvantages of the Isuzu 4ZD1 engine

  • This is a simple, reliable, but very rare motor and there may be problems with its maintenance.
  • Most of the problems with this engine are due to wear and tear due to its age.
  • Due to contamination of the throttle assembly, idle speeds often float here.
  • The fuel pump and the archaic ignition system are also distinguished by a modest resource.
  • It is necessary to adjust the valve clearances and change the timing belt every 100,000 km.
