bglexus37 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 My 1998 GS400 knocks momentarily at 3000 rpm under slight acceleration. No problem in hard acceleration. Premium gas is always used (various brands) and I've tried gas additive / cleaner. All recommended maintenance has been performed. Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions or solutions (other than to always accelerate hard!!!)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flush out the carbon using seafoam or a water flush <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
