I own a 2004 Isuzu Rodeo 2WD ute. I had new keys cut after loosing the original key, battery went flat while at locksmith from sitting waiting for particulars from holden. Tow started ute, started for approx. 2 weeks, would not start, so fitted new battery. Fuses fine. Wondered if there is a sequence I need to go through to get engine to start. Tried fords idea of turning ignition on and left for 30 sec. before trying to start - would not start. Have checked the fuel filter - it is fine. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Get yourself a can of starting fluid spray, and spray NO MORE than a two second burst into the air intake after removing the filter. Then crank it. If it fires (very briefly), your problem is low or no fuel delivery to the engine.

"when the fuel pump kicks....it makes a very short duration sound....you can hear it....but in seconds it will be gone......as gasoline has made its way to the engine.........
if you cant hear any noise from the fuel pump......it could be that the fuel pump realy is bad........if you happen to change the relay....and it still does not work.....then it is the fuel pump. that is fried.......
about the water.....i am not shure......unless there was water in the gasoline itself....or somebody put water in there in purpose....
hope this helps...

if its early 05 round heart shaped remote it needs programming into system at dealer with Tech2
later 05 to 07 had square (rectangle) shaped remote
1.2 ID Code Additional Registration
Note: This procedure will add additional remotes to the Keyless Entry Control Units memory. A total of 4 remote transmitters may be programmed into the Keyless Entry Control Units memory. When a total of registered and newly registered remotes exceed 4, the oldest one shall be erased.
Step Action
1 Note: Make sure that all the doors are closed and unlocked. Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch.
Open the driver's side door.
2 Turn the Ignition key to the “ON” position and then to the “LOCK” position three times
(The key should remain in the “LOCK” position)
Note: This step must be carried out within five seconds.
3 “CLOSE” and “OPEN” the driver’s doors once (Leaving the driver’s door in the “OPEN” position)
Note: This step must be carried out within five seconds after step 2 is completed.
4 Wait for 8 seconds (This wait time is critical)
5 Turn the Ignition key “ON” and then to the “LOCK” position once and turn key to the “ON” position (The key should remain in the “ON” position)
OR on/lock once
Note: This step must be carried out eight seconds after step 3 is completed.
6 “CLOSE” the driver’s door
The HAZARD lights should flash 3 times (This acknowledges the Keyless Entry Control Unit has entered programming mode)
7 Operate the lock or unlock button of the transmitters to be programmed; a flash of the HAZARD lights indicates the remote has been successfully programmed into the control unit
8 The HAZARD lights will flash approx 4 seconds after pressing the remote button to indicate the Keyless Entry Control Unit has exited programming mode.

I realise you have probably solved this problem by now so sorry for the late news mate . Had a similar prob and it turned out to be an alternator malfunction . I replace the brushes and off she went . These things send voltage from the alt . to a fuel pump relay or whatever so the pump wont run if the eng isn't (or the alt isn't outputting any voltage.) . Hope you already had it sorted . But I hope this helps if not . Cheers Simon .

the lights come on and the power steering goes because the engine has stalled while you are driving. it is the exact same condition as when you turn the key to the "on" position w/out actually starting the engine (all the same lights will be on and no steering because engine not running).
as for why this happens...sadly there are too many possibilities to usefully list here.
This is the basic equation for why your engine runs:
fuel + spark + compression = a running engine
The fact that your engine usually works means you can discount the compression piece of that equation.
This leaves fuel and spark. If loss of spark is the cause of the stalling, it is almost definitely in the primary side of the ignition system which means: don't go get a 'tune-up'. Tune-ups almost never-ever-ever fix driveability problems. The primary side of the ignition system consists of the crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor and engine computer...to name a few things.
It is also possible you are losing fuel pressure intermittently, which could be due to a failing fuel pump, but this is an unusual presentation. Typically they are found to be bad when you try to start it up initially rather than **** out in the middle of running.
Then again, this whole thing could very possibly just be due to a loose wire connection in a really unfortunate place. Impossible to tell from here, so you'll probably have to settle with taking it in somewhere. I will say this: don't waste time/money taking it to a shop until it absolutely will not start up again. Shops can't diagnose a problem unless it actually has the problem while they are looking at it. good luck

either that or the ignition switch itself is binding up
