Engine - Pinging on Acceleration and at Low Speeds

SOURCE: Mitsubishi Tech Talk Article November 2004

TITLE: Engine Pinging on Acceleration and at Low Speeds

APPLIES TO: 2004 Galant 2.4L MIVEC engine

SERVICE TIP:

TSB-04-13-010 is now available with reprogramming information to minimize the pinging noise at low engine speeds. Also, recently released TSB-04-11-003 notes a running change to the MIVEC camshaft for 2004 MY. Service manual revision TSB-04-11-004 updates the Service Manual to the revised camshaft with revised valve clearance specifications used on early vs. late production vehicles.
