    Hesitation at low rpm and fuel system goes to open loop

    Ive heard You could also remove the valve covers and let it run. Very careful put a little pressure on each rocker and the ticking may go away leading you to the problem. At least you might not have to remove both heads that way. If you put a stethoscope on the knock sensor or if you have a...

    Hesitation at low rpm and fuel system goes to open loop

    I replaced cam, lifters, valves, pushrods, and rockers. Cam and lifters showed no signs of failure but I made the mistake of listening to Google and changed them sincei was in. Tick never went away. I found that the original worn valves and pushrods were causing the tick (which was excessive...

    Hesitation at low rpm and fuel system goes to open loop

    Mine was a combination of worn valve tips and pushrods against the rocker arms. Which I believe caused the knock sensor to retard timing. Changing those solved the hesitation for me. There's also a video on YouTube where corrosion in the ecm plug causes false knock sensor readings.

    Ticking at idle and knock retard while accelerating from a stop.

    https://youtube.com/shorts/-P0nEbO3EiI?feature=share sounds like it's getting worse

    Ticking at idle and knock retard while accelerating from a stop.

    Well I wish I had an answer as I've been chasing this since last summer. I see the timing being pulled on my scanner, my cam and lifters didn't fail but I tore the engine apart to find this hesitation problem. When I put it back together I put the new cam lifters and pushrods, valves and rockers...

    I wish mine was that.

    Everyone keeps saying "these engines are just noisy" and that's just garbage, something a dealership says to avoid doing work. Hesitation will come under load, towing a trailer or taking off from a stop or both ( sometimes not always) the noise mostly goes when hot.

    https://youtube.com/@PhillipBailey. Ya take them out of the block with them still hooked up, but secure them So they don't shake around or hit anything but temporarily of course, just to see if the retard goes away. I haven't done this yet. I guess your can came with the phaser lock and...

    Well. Taking your knock sensors offloading them hooked up and tie them up to see if your knock retard goes away is a good way to rule out wiring.

    Ticking at idle and knock retard while accelerating from a stop.

    Alot of people say oil fixes but it definitely doesn't help this problem. I changer all Valves and both rocker arms on the offending side no change. Best I can think of other than con rods and wrist pins is that I've heard of longer pushrods. But there is also quite a process to tighten the...

    Ticking at idle and knock retard while accelerating from a stop.

    There's a YouTube video by Phillip Bradley showing corrosion in the c2 (orange) engine harness. Hard to see unless you de pin the plug. Someone even suggested putting a garden hose rubber oring behind the offending knock sensor

    Ticking at idle and knock retard while accelerating from a stop.

    Nope, but Pretty much goes away when hot, probably been 1000km or so and sometimes I think it's a little better but I'm just fooling myself.

    Long crank when hot outside

    Just happened to me today. I put remand fuel injectors in last night and topped up with med grade 89 gas this morning, then all of a sudden this long crank started happening. never did it before. I took the fuel rail out with injectors and fuel supply still attached, pressured them up and now...

    Ticking at idle and knock retard while accelerating from a stop.

    Changed the left intake and exhaust rockers and seemed to sound a little better, definitely took the play out. I'll order another set for the right and be done with it..... hopefully Untill then it's a ticker
