The noise seems to be coming from the middle of the engine, and yes I already ran it briefly with the belt off. It has 117xxx miles, fluids changed regularly, oil change 400 miles ago (two weeks), oil taken out shows no red flags. (No Spurs and normal consistency)

I've been trying to tackle this knocking noise for a while now. Others have touched on this topic with no final outcome, the topic seems to get put on the backburner. I have had a knock, the same knock that if you clog the crankcase ventilation hose, dissipates after a minute. I haven't thrown...

This is a mirror image of my problems as well as your OBDII readings. LTFT and STFT, you described all of my issues. I just replaced my FPR and it helped dramatically, not only increase, but stabilize my psi when the vehicle was turned off. My pressure is still going down a bit more than I...

Thanks for getting back on that. I have a knock I've been chasing for a while now. Are you aware of Mode $06 component Id's for my 2002 tb? I'm having a heck of a time on it. I believe I'm going to initiate a thread and post my OBDII results. Thank you for your time!

I went down this road with my 02 Tb and got similar results. When I brought it to the dealer they stated it was up to date. My question is, how do I know what is really in my PCM vs the potential BS that I received. I was looking into finding the dates these updates came out and met with zero...

So the outcome to my dealer visit is being told that my vehicle is up to date, however they "reinstalled" the software again, "just to be sure" ????? I wanted a printout, but did not recieve one. In fact, the only printout I recieved was the invoice. There has got to be a way to see my software...

Thanks, going on an hour now. Stay "TUNED".

Can they inform me of what updates have been installed? Printout? I'm sitting here beginning to think I'm wasting my time and they are not updating it, rather diagnosing it. Which I will refuse to pay for.

Is there a secret handshake for getting my PCM updated? The female is acting as if I'm crazy. Through GMs website, I am aware of updates for my 2002 TB, I ask her to have the mechanic update it and I would like to know what updates were installed. Is this possible or is it me? Anyone who has...

I am going to the dealer tomorrow (hopefully) and having my PCM updated. I noticed there were a few issues that correlate with an update. After that, and hopefully with more insight from the mechanic, I hope to tackle the knocking noise. Are there any advisements before I bring it in?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a program that is ELM327 windows compatible?

Okay, so I have been investing a lot of time into this issue of "ours". My symptoms are very similar to yours in reference to the knock and PCV being temporarily blocked silencing the knock. I have two new possibililies with a theory, I would like your (or anyone's) opinion on.... 1. Timing...

Thanks for the update. Have you dismissed the oil pump as being a possibility? Thanks

My RPM's dip as well with the same symptoms. I've been chasing this for a while now (years) and hope to resolve this issue quick, fast and in a hurry. I am about to replace the VVT solenoid and hope it solves any of my problems; -6 LTFT (no codes), knock, hesitations, rpm dip when tap. After the...

Is there an update as to the knocking or diagnosis? I have the same issue with my 2002
