Condition
-
Some customers may comment on a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on and/or an engine misfire/tick noise.
Technicians may find DTC P0300 set or in history.
-
Cause
-
This may be caused by one of the following conditions:
- Active fuel management (AFM) lifter that is mechanically collapsed and/or stuck all of the time.
- Internal locking pin damage in the lifter, due to oil aeration.
- Lifter that has collapsed and is stuck in the lifter bore.
- The engine may have a bent push rod.
-
Correction
-
Note: Inspect the camshaft for damage while the lifters are removed from the engine. If damage is found, replace the camshaft per SI.
If SI diagnosis does not isolate the cause of this concern, technicians should inspect for valve operation.
If the valve(s) are not moving, replace the valve lifter oil manifold and affected bank of AFM lifters. Refer to Valve Lifter Oil Manifold Replacement and Valve Lifter Replacement in SI.
If the lifter has spun the bore, the guides should also be replaced.
-
Recommendation/Instructions
-
There are two approved processes for removing the lifter when stuck in the bore.
- Use vice grips with a slide hammer.
Note: Be sure NOT to pry on the sealing surface of the block, as shown in the illustration above.
- Use vice grips with a small pry bar.
Typically, one of the above approved processes will remove the lifter that is stuck in the bore. If not, the engine will need to be replaced.
With the lifter removed, be sure to inspect the bore for any damage. Typically, the lifter bores will look good with no indication of damage.
