1. Engine Trouble in General

2. Engine Noise
Valve lash adjusters may make clicking noise once engine
starts. It is normal if clicking noise ceases after a few min-
utes.
If clicking noise continues for more than a few minutes,
inspect Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (HLA) in accordance with
the following flow chart.
Inspect the engine oil level
(1) Adjust the oil level between“F”and“L”.
(2) Replace the oil when deteriorated.
Load less engine operation to bleed air from
HLA.
(1) Warm-up engine for about five minutes.
(2) If the noise is remaining, keep the engine
running at 2,000 rpm for up to 20 minutes until
the noise fades away.Noise is eliminated.
Keep the engine running at 2,500 rpm for about
five minutes to bleed air completely.
Noise remains or comes
back.END
HLA is rigid and has no valve clearance.
Remove the rocker cover and inspect HLA.
Press HLA while it is facing the base circle of
the cam.
HLA is normal. The noise may come from other
sources.
HLA is not rigid.
There is valve clearance.
Check whether the clearance between HLA and
the bushing of the cylinder head is within
allowance or not.
HLA is seized. Replace HLA.
Out of allowance
Replace the cylinder head related parts or the
HLA, whichever is necessary.
Within allowance
Replace HLA.

2-3bDIAGNOSTICS
2. Engine Noise

If noise still exists, conduct diagnostics procedures in
accordance with the following table.
CAUTION:
Do not disconnect spark plug cord while engine is run-
ning.
Type of sound Condition Possible cause
Regular clicking soundSound increases as engine
speed increases.Valve mechanism is defective.
Broken lash adjuster
Worn camshaft
Broken valve spring
Worn valve lifter hole
Heavy and dull clankOil pressure is low.Worn crankshaft main bearing
Worn connecting rod bearing (big end)
Oil pressure is normal.Loose flywheel mounting bolts
Damaged engine mounting
High-pitched clank
(Spark knock)Sound is noticeable when
accelerating with an overload.Ignition timing advanced
Accumulation of carbon inside combustion chamber
Wrong spark plug
Improper gasoline
Clank when engine speed is
medium (1,000 to 2,000 rpm).Sound is reduced when fuel
injector connector of noisy
cylinder is disconnected.
(NOTE*)Worn crankshaft main bearing
Worn bearing at crankshaft end of connecting rod
Knocking sound when engine
is operating under idling speed
and engine is warm.Sound is reduced when fuel
injector connector of noisy
cylinder is disconnected.
(NOTE*)Worn cylinder liner and piston ring
Broken or stuck piston ring
Worn piston pin and hole at piston end of connecting rod
Sound is not reduced if each
fuel injector connector is
disconnected in turn. (NOTE*)Unusually worn valve lifter
Worn cam gear
Worn camshaft journal bore in crankcase
Squeaky sound—Insufficient generator lubrication
Rubbing sound—Defective generator brush and rotor contact
Gear scream when starting
engine—Defective ignition starter switch
Worn gear and starter pinion
Sound like polishing glass with
a dry cloth—Loose drive belt
Defective engine coolant pump shaft
Hissing sound—Loss of compression
Air leakage in air intake system, hoses, connections or
manifolds
Timing belt noise—Loose timing belt
Belt contacting case/adjacent part
NOTE*:
When disconnecting fuel injector connector, Malfunction Indicator Light (CHECK ENGINE light) illuminates and trouble code is stored in
ECM memory.
Therefore, carry out the CLEAR MEMORY MODE and INSPECTION MODE after connecting fuel injector connector. (Ref. to 2-7 On-Board
Diagnostics II System.)
