Check your coolant level and report back if it's low and how much.
-
he didn't say what year motor? Good call on coolant level. Someone told me they (2008 and above) are very sensitive to coolant usage.
-
The truck is 2005 and i've checked the cooland and the engine oil levels..........all are good.
-
Sounds like an injector starting to go out. Did you get the check engine light on ?
-
ISX's are very finicky about fuel filters. There are two of them. I had this happen with an ISX that started blowing white smoke and acting up before and the primary filter needed changed. No codes. It seems to happen all of a sudden, like yours, without warning. At least it would be a cheap try to change a fuel filter and see if that solves the issue.
-
yeah the check engine light came on in the morning and then i went away after a while..........but when the problem happened, came back on
-
id start with seeing what the code was first, you could try changing fuel filters but isx has a fule pressure sensor that with set active fault codes if the fuel pressure ets to low, it might have set a "951" fault code for cyclinder imbalance which could mean a number of things, but untill you know for sure what code was set active everthing
i've said is my opion.
