6E-356 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
DETONATION/SPARK KNOCK SYMPTOM
DEFINITIONS: A mild to sever ping, usually worse
under acceleration. The engine makes a shape metallic
knocking sound that changes with throttle opening.
Prolonged detonation may lead to complete engine
failure.



Step Action Value (s) Yes No

Cylinder head gasket damaged Replace
Cooling Fan clutch defective Replace
Fan belt slipping Adjust tension of V-belt or replace
V-belt
Engine overcooling Thermostat defective Replace (Use a thermostat set to
open at 92
C (197.6
F))
Engine lacks compression - Refer to Hard Start
Others Tire inflation pressure abnormal Adjust to recommend pressures
Brake drag Adjust
Clutch slipping Adjust or replace
Level of oil in engine crankcase
too high Correct level of engine oil

Engine Noisy
Abnormal engine noise often consists of various
noises originating in rotating parts, sliding parts and
other moving parts of the engine. It is, therefore,
advisable to locate the source of noise systematically.

Condition Possible cause Correction
Noise from crank journals or from
crank bearings
(Faulty crank journals and crank
bearings usually make dull noise
that becomes more evident when
accelerating) Oil clearance increased due to
worn crank journals or crank
bearings Replace crank bearings and
crankshaft or regrind crankshaft
and install the over size bearing
Crankshaft out of round Replace crank bearings and
crankshaft or regrind crankshaft
and install the over size bearing
Crank bearing seized Replace crank bearings and
crankshaft or regrind crankshaft
and install the over size bearing
