i have a isuzu trooper 1999 with 170,000 miles, it started eating oil horribly, is there anything i can do to fix this???

 

When you say 'eating' oil. Do you mean it is smoking, leaking , or oil is just disappearing? PCV valve could be culprit, bad valve seals or bad main seals. Try getting some Barhdal(sp) Seal restore. Is it an automatic or standard transmission?

 

its a automatic transmition, i just found out that the EGR is bad, it is causing the check engine light to go off, do you think that might be a problem??

 

The purpose of the EGR valve is to recirculate some, not all, of the exhaust gases back into the combustion chamber to cause the nitrogen in the chamber to not react with other componds produced during combustion therefore cleaner air. The EGR valve would cause the CEL to come on and if you live in an area where emissions are regulated you should get it fixed. Also from what I have read will cause rough ide and posibly cause engine to stall. I don't believe this has anything to do with the eating oil problem.

 

ohhhh i see ok, so i will try your method thank you so much for your help, please if you have any other tips or anything just let me know so i can try everything possible to fix this problem, also should i keep my isuzu or should i just sell it???
