I would suspect there’s a problem with the turbocharger, have a diesel mechanic check it for you.
It’s average, both in terms of price and kilometres travelled, for that model. If it’s been well serviced and is in good condition it would be worth considering.
It would suggest it wasn’t the throttle position sensor that was faulty, but it could be a connector to the sensor that has caused the problem. If that isn’t the problem look elsewhere, and I would suggest the crank angle sensor.
Isuzu spokesman Dave Harding replies: Isuzu Ute Australia values all customer feedback.

We haven't had any other reports of this problem; so suspect it's related to your car. I would suggest that you talk to your dealer and request the help of Isuzu head office to fix it once and for all. I would also ask for a temporary loan vehicle while they sort out the issues with yours.
It's a common complaint about diesels since we went to common-rail engines. Some claim it can be fixed be recalibrating the computer, others say the injectors need replacing. Consult a diesel engine expert.
