Known issuesSingle-cylinder misfire (P0300-P0308) and/or chirp, squeak or tick at camshaft speed: worn cam lobe / lifter, valve or valve spring1

  1. Manufacturer communication2002–2006 GMC YUKON XL DENALI ・ 2023-05-06(2 earlier editions of this document folded here)

    Diagnostic tip: valve, lifter or camshaft issue

    1. 1Fault

      • Misfire, chirp, squeak, squeal or tick noise, or MIL illuminated.
      • DTCs P0300 (engine misfire detected) and P0301 through P0308 (misfire detected on cylinders 1 through 8) are listed.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • Possible causes: worn camshaft lobe and/or lifter roller, a sticking valve, valve leakage, a broken valve spring, or a collapsed AFM lifter.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. A verified noise is not eliminated by canceling fuel injectors and occurs at camshaft speed (half of crankshaft speed).
      2. If applying pressure to the valve side of the rocker changes the noise, a lifter and/or cam lobe concern on that cylinder is most likely.
      3. Disconnect the coils and injectors on one bank, run the engine with that valve cover removed, back off the rocker arm a couple of turns and listen for a change in the noise.
      4. Measure cam lobe lift at the pushrod side of the rocker arm and compare with other rockers on the same bank; the misfiring or ticking cylinder should have clearly less lift.
      5. A good indicator of a sticking valve is misfires that keep counting on an aggressive deceleration with engine braking.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      • If a worn camshaft lobe or lifter roller is found, replace the camshaft and all lifters, and the plastic lifter guide for the affected lifter.

      Caution

      • A damaged cam lobe is easy to overlook through the lifter bores, and unworn lifter rollers do not mean the cam lobes are okay; inspect both carefully.

    From the manufacturer’s document

    • Applies to：Applies to GM passenger cars and trucks, 2002 through 2023, with V6/V8 pushrod engines.
    • Condition：Misfire, chirp, squeak, squeal or tick noise, or MIL illuminated.
    • Condition：DTCs P0300 (engine misfire detected) and P0301 through P0308 (misfire detected on cylinders 1 through 8) are listed.
    • Confirm：A verified noise is not eliminated by canceling fuel injectors and occurs at camshaft speed (half of crankshaft speed).
    • Cause：Possible causes: worn camshaft lobe and/or lifter roller, a sticking valve, valve leakage, a broken valve spring, or a collapsed AFM lifter.
    • Confirm：If applying pressure to the valve side of the rocker changes the noise, a lifter and/or cam lobe concern on that cylinder is most likely.

    • Confirm：A good indicator of a sticking valve is misfires that keep counting on an aggressive deceleration with engine braking.
    • Confirm：A broken valve spring may stay stacked together and be hard to see; lightly push on different places on the springs with a small hammer handle.

    Fuel Injection Cleaner Kit Service Bulletin

    1. 1Fault

      • Rough idle, crank no start, extended crank or misfire, with the engine warning lamp on and DTC P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0307 or P0308 set.
      • When the engine is cold, compression on multiple cylinders may be zero.
      • The engine may pop through the intake or exhaust while cranking, and the spark plugs may be fuel fouled.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • Major carbon build-up on the intake and/or exhaust valves from fuel contamination or incomplete burning of the fuel; misfires should not appear before at least 8,000 km (5,000 mi).

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. If there is no valve damage and no cam follower out of place, perform the cleaning procedure to free sticking valves and remove carbon from the valves and pistons.
      2. If valves are damaged or cam followers are out of place, make the engine mechanical repairs first and then perform the cleaning procedure to prevent a return.
      3. Fill Cleaner Kit J-35800-A with about 650 ml (22 oz, 2 cans) of Air Intake, Combustion Chamber Cleaner and set the air pressure at the tool to 260 kPa (40 psi).
      4. With GDS 2 or a scan tool, command engine idle to 2000 rpm so the engine does not stall.
      5. With the engine at operating temperature in a well-ventilated area, slowly and carefully induce the cleaner into the engine, taking about 3 minutes.

      Parts

      • The Top Engine Cleaning Kit (ACDelco Air Intake, Valve and Combustion Chamber Cleaner and ACDelco Fuel System Cleaner 44K) is 19435372 for the U.S. and Canada.

      Part numbers printed in the document

      The numbers are as the document prints them. The name and the replacing number are what the pages of GMPartsGiant, a reseller of genuine parts and not GM, state. Aftermarket equivalents are not checked here (the links only search by number). Confirm the fit for the vehicle (VIN) before ordering.

      Caution

      • Inducing too much cleaner at too low an RPM, or stalling the engine with too much cleaner at once, may hydro-lock the engine and bend a connecting rod.
