Is this normal?, is this how these injectors work?, I cannot find much online about these in...

Re: Isuzu Mu - poss other Isuzu - 1996 no start - no reverse lights

I had to do the same after getting sick of no reverse lights when the truck was cold but when warm it was fine.
I had a spare unit and made a good one out of two, I note though that occasionally the beeper stops and the reverse lights don't work, jiggle the lever and it comes right again.

Interesting thing is it now starts and runs normally, no hotwires needed. Makes me think the stop solenoid

Hmm, interesting developments. So I charged the battery and refitted it, run a wire from the positive battery post to the stop solenoid on the fuel pump which clicked.

Re: Bighorn owners, your thoughts please?

Good truck but as others have said it is no rocketship.
Before you start towing, invest in a bigger exhaust system (2.5 or 3 inch) egr delete, bigger turbo and a replacement air filter element wont go amiss.
