Could really use some help - Engine knock


Recommended Posts

My 02 would have a slight intermittent stumble/miss at no load hot idle in neutral or park, turn the ac on and it was smooth as could be or put it in gear and it would smooth out as well once it had a light load on it.:think:

I just dismissed it as a nonissue and never worried about it.

Just thought I would update on my new engine. I have about 5-6k miles on it now and I think the rings finally seated as it finally stopped using oil. Everything has been running great and smooth. I am still having the slight mis-fire after the truck gets all warmed up. Seems to be getting a little worse actually. It still runs perfectly smooth and even right after start up but once its up to temp it sounds like one or two injectors are not firing properly or at all. I cant see any obvious leaks and I am pretty sure its not growing oil. I am going to get a hold of DAP and see what they have to say. Thats where I got the new RV275's from.

 

Any other suggestions in the mean time? I was going to go through and see if I could at least narrow down what injector is messing up. Maybe even trade it with another and see if the problem follows.

I'm in the same boat for the time being the only thing is I've got more miles on my injectors. My misfire is only at fully warmed up state typically noticeable after running hard on the highway. My first set of RV275's failed basically when the pop pressure fell out to about 240bar. Now I think this set of injectors are head the same direction being I've cleaned them up and the whole bit but still got a random warm idle miss. Now mine I can explain to wear... As for you is a quality control problem most likely.
