Hi, I have 2009 jimny with M13A engine, automatic,145000 km, it works great and I don’t feel any power loss. However, lately, I noticed that under load, in any gear, at 2500-3100 RPM and especially when it’s warm outside the engine make rattling/ tikking noise. When I let go the pedal its stops right away. I uploaded an audio with the noise , you can really notice it towards the end .
I did the following but without any outcome:
- clean MAF, TPS, MAP.
- used 98 fuel
- changed knocking & crankshaft sensors
- used colder spark plugs (7).
- checked the catalytic converters.
The little jimny runs really great but that sound makes me cringe..
I saw a lot of topics that mentioned knocking noises under the same conditions but without any outcome.
Any ideas what it could be?
Thanks!
