[K100]2-3aDIAGNOSTICS
1. Engine Trouble in General

2. Engine Noise
Type of sound Condition Possible cause
Regular clicking soundSound increases as engine
speed increases.IValve mechanism is defective.
IIncorrect valve clearance
IWorn valve rocker
IWorn camshaft
IBroken valve spring
Heavy and dull clankOil pressure is low.IWorn crankshaft main bearing
IWorn connecting rod bearing (big end)
Oil pressure is normal.ILoose flywheel mounting bolts
IDamaged engine mounting
High-pitched clank
(Spark knock)Sound is noticeable when
accelerating with an overload.IIgnition timing advanced
IAccumulation of carbon inside combustion chamber
IWrong spark plug
IImproper gasoline
Clank when engine speed is
medium (1,000 to 2,000 rpm)Sound is reduced when fuel
injector connector of noisy cyl-
inder is disconnected.
(NOTE*)IWorn crankshaft main bearing
IWorn bearing at crankshaft end of connecting rod
Knocking sound when engine
is operating under idling speed
and engine is warmSound is reduced when fuel
injector connector of noisy cyl-
inder is disconnected.
(NOTE*)IWorn cylinder liner and piston ring
IBroken or stuck piston ring
IWorn piston pin and hole at piston end of connecting rod
Sound is not reduced if each
fuel injector connector is dis-
connected in turn. (NOTE*)IUnusually worn valve lifter
IWorn cam gear
IWorn camshaft journal bore in crankcase
Squeaky sound ÐIInsufficient generator lubrication
Rubbing sound ÐIDefective generator brush and rotor contact
Gear scream when starting
engineÐIDefective ignition starter switch
IWorn gear and starter pinion
Sound like polishing glass with
a dry clothÐILoose drive belt
IDefective engine coolant pump shaft
Hissing sound ÐILoss of compression
IAir leakage in air intake system, hoses, connections or
manifolds
Timing belt noise ÐILoose timing belt
IBelt contacting case/adjacent part
Valve tappet noise ÐIIncorrect valve clearance
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 con-
necting fuel injector connector.
