probably been posted before but i couldnt find it. i have a minor engine knock (nothing serious and the noise cant really be heard outside of the car.) when my car is cold and in idle and also at lower rpms.
ive had this for a while and im guessing its normal for our engines but if it isnt feel free to post some possible problems. |

the minor knock is the loudest at lower rpms but when the car warms up the noise is less. the engine does have a lot of miles on it...about 115k but i keep it in good shape and there is defintely no leaks. i havent changed the injectors yet but i recently did a tune up.
as for a valve shim adjustment....what is that exactly? and what is a good way to clean the injectors. QUOTE we really dont know what you are hearing, i cant say that injector cleaner will fix it or not. if you can get a recording of the sound or something then that would help . also, read this site: http://remanufactured.com/Engine_Noise_Diagnosis_101.htm ill definitely try to do that or if not, hopefully the the engine will be making the noise when im at lsp in a week. but i doubt it will b/c the engine will be warmed up.
